Synopsis

The purpose of Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) activities is to facilitate professional development of K-12 science teachers through research experience at the cutting edge of science. The Directorate is particularly interested in encouraging its researchers to build mutually rewarding partnerships with teachers at inner city schools and less well endowed school districts. RET is described in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Solicitation (most recent solicitation found at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5517&org=BIO&sel_org=BIO&from=fund)   See the Dear Colleague Letter NSF 18-089 for opportunity announcement.
