Overview
<p>The National Science Foundation Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program seeks to encourage talented science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors and professionals to become K-12 mathematics and science (including engineering and computer science) teachers. The program invites creative and innovative proposals that address the critical need for recruiting and preparing highly effective elementary and secondary science and mathematics teachers in high-need local educational agencies.</p> <p>The program offers four tracks: <br>Track 1: The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarships and Stipends Track<br> Track 2: The NSF Teaching Fellowships Track<br>Track 3: The NSF Master Teaching Fellowships Track <br>Track 4: Noyce Research Track.</p> <p>In addition, Capacity Building proposals are accepted from proposers intending to develop a future Track 1 proposal.</p>
Solicitation Limitations: <p>The PI/Co-PI team must include at least one faculty member from a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics department in an institution of higher education and at least one education faculty member in an institution of higher education.</p> Other Information:<p>Track 1: S & S - up to $1,200,000, with a project duration of up to 5 years;<br>Track 4: Noyce Research - up to $800,000, with a project duration of up to 5 years.<br>Capacity Building -up to $75,000, with a project duration of up to 1 year</p> <p>Collaboration Incentives: In Track 1 - S&S, projects that involve a substantive collaboration between two-year institutions and four-year institutions, may request up to an additional $250,000 over 5 years (or 6, as appropriate). Capacity Building projects involving collaboration between two-year and four-year institutions may request up to an additional $50,000for 1 year. In Track 4: Noyce Research, projects that involve a collaboration with current or past Noyce awardee projects may request up to an additional $100,000 for each Noyce project that is substantively engaged in the research endeavor, with a maximum overall request not to exceed $2,300,000 over 5 years.</p> <p>Funding for Previously Funded Noyce Grantee Institutions NSF welcomes proposals from previously funded Noyce grantee institutions in any track. However, such submissions must provide a detailed description of the previously funded work, including: evidence of the project's success, specifics about what was learned, an account of challenges encountered, and/or specifics about how the proposed project will be able to overcome the prior project's challenges.</p> <p>The proposed new Noyce project must also present data to demonstrate the workforce need in high-need local educational agencies and the capacity to recruit candidates, as well as provide a plan for following Noyce recipients longitudinally. Previous grantees must detail what new may be learned from the proposed project, including how this information may inform further improvement in STEM teacher preparation. These proposals must include plans for monitoring (including tracking) and evaluation of new cohorts. Proposals must include plans for evaluating the impact of the program on recruitment and retention of STEM teachers, the impact on the institution(s) of higher education (IHE), and the effectiveness of the Noyce scholarship/stipend recipients as K-12 STEM teachers.</p>Last Updated:
