Please distribute to your faculty.  Thank you,





The National Science Foundation has posted their 2011 Research Experiences
for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science program.  NSF limits
submissions to this program to three per institution; therefore, an internal
due date has been set for *December 15, 2010*.  The funding opportunity will
be announced in next week’s funding bulletin.

*Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science
- NSF 11-509**

The Directorate for Engineering (ENG) and the Directorate for Computer and
Information Science and Engineering (CISE), Research Experiences for
Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science program supports the
active involvement of K-12 science, technology, engineering, computer and
information science, and mathematics (STEM) teachers and community college
faculty in engineering and computer science research in order to bring
knowledge of engineering, computer science, and technological innovation
into their classrooms. The goal is to help build long-term collaborative
partnerships between K-12 STEM teachers, community college faculty, and the
NSF university research community by involving the teachers and community
college faculty in engineering and computer science research and helping
them translate their research experiences and new knowledge into classroom
activities. Partnerships with inner city schools or other high needs schools
are especially encouraged, as is participation by underrepresented
minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.

This announcement features two mechanisms for support of in-service and
pre-service K-12 STEM teachers and community college faculty: RET
supplements to ongoing ENG or CISE awards and new RET Site awards. RET
supplements may be included in proposals for new or renewed NSF Directorate
for Engineering (ENG) or CISE grants or as supplements to ongoing NSF ENG or
CISE funded projects. RET in Engineering and Computer Science Sites are
based on independent proposals from engineering or computer and information
science departments, schools or colleges to initiate and conduct research
participation projects for a number of K-12 STEM teachers and/or community
college faculty.

It is encouraged, but not required, that at least two teachers or community
college faculty be recruited for the program from the same K-12
school/community college in order to help ensure that outcomes of the
program are more effectively disseminated to the participating institutions.

**Please Note:  This is a limited submission program.  Documentation
(Project Summary, Biographical Sketch, and Current and Pending Support)
should be submitted to the Dean, Chair and DOR by the internal due date of
December 15, 2010.   VP/Deans consideration period will be December 16 - 22,
2010.  Notification will be sent to all candidates on December 23, 2010.  *
