National Science Foundation Grant Opportunities for Community College Teacher Education Programs

Through this interactive session representatives from the National Science Foundation (NSF) will share grant opportunities and ideas for developing a successful grant proposal. This session will include activities such as identifying components of a quality proposal and writing tips for success.

NSF provides almost $80 million per year for community colleges, primarily through the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE). This session will focus on the programs that support teacher education including the Advanced Technological Education Program (ATE), Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program and the Math and Science Partnership Program. Other programs in DUE that have traditionally provided significant support to community colleges include the Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (TUES), STEM Talent Expansion Program (STEP), and NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM).
