Robert Noyce Scholarship Program
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Robert Noyce Scholarship program, authorized under the National Science Foundation Authorization Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-368), responds to the critical need for K-12 teachers of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics by encouraging talented science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students and STEM professionals to pursue teaching careers in elementary and secondary schools. The program provides funding to institutions of higher education to provide scholarships, stipends, and programmatic support for STEM majors and STEM professionals to enter and complete teacher credentialing programs.
- Institutions not previously funded under the Robert Noyce Scholarship Program may submit proposals under the Phase I category:
- Institutions previously funded under the Robert Noyce Scholarship Program may submit two types of proposals under the Phase II category: (1) Scholarship and Stipend proposals to support new cohorts of Noyce Scholars and to conduct longitudinal evaluation studies of previously funded cohorts, or (2) Monitoring and Evaluation proposals to support the continued monitoring of previously supported cohorts of students and to conduct longitudinal evaluation studies, but not to provide funding for new scholarships or stipends.

Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program has been developed to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers who will pursue careers in research and education, with the interdisciplinary backgrounds, deep knowledge in chosen disciplines, and technical, professional, and personal skills to become, in their own careers, leaders and creative agents for change. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education, for students, faculty, and institutions, by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. It is also intended to facilitate diversity in student participation and preparation, and to contribute to the development of a diverse, globally-engaged, science and engineering workforce.

Undergraduate Research Centers
Agencies

Description
The Undergraduate Research Collaboratives (URC) Program seeks new models and partnerships with the potential (1) to expand the reach of undergraduate research to include first- and second-year college students; (2) to broaden participation and increase diversity in the student talent pool from which the nation's future technical workforce will be drawn; and (3) to enhance the research capacity, infrastructure, and culture of participating institutions. Collectively, these outcomes will substantially strengthen the nation’s research enterprise. For this program, research should be in the chemical sciences or in interdisciplinary areas supported by the chemical sciences. Projects should allow students to create new knowledge that is potentially publishable by providing exposure to research of contemporary scientific interest that is addressed with modern research tools and methods.

Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity
Agencies

Description
The Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) program was created in response to a legislative mandate to "increase the numbers of underrepresented minority faculty, investigators, and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, and to broaden the opportunities for underrepresented minority faculty and students for participation in biomedical and behavioral research". To accomplish this goal, the Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) program seeks to facilitate and promote, at research institutions with significant number of mentors with National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other extramural research support, the entry into biomedical or behavioral research fields of undergraduate and graduate students from groups underrepresented in these fields. The program provides institutional support for existing or innovative student development activities, including research internships, that will increase students' knowledge, skills, and information as they move to more advanced levels and ultimately attain the Ph.D. degree in biomedical or behavioral research fields.

Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) Instrument Development and Acquisition Solicitation
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) is designed to improve the condition of scientific and engineering equipment for research and research training in the nation's academic institutions.
This program seeks to improve the quality and expand the scope of research and research training in science and engineering, and to foster the integration of research and education by providing instrumentation for research-intensive learning environments. The MRI program encourages the development and acquisition of research instrumentation for shared inter- or intra-organizational use and in concert with private sector partners.
The MRI program assists in the acquisition or development of major research instrumentation by organizations that is, in general, too costly for support through other NSF programs. Proposals may be for a single instrument, a large system of instruments, or multiple instruments that share a common or specific research focus.

Submission Limits
An institution may submit up to three proposals: at least one of three proposals submitted from an institution must be for instrument development. However, all three proposals may be for instrument development.
