NSF ITEST Program Workshop at Oklahoma State University
DESCRIPTION
Join us at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma on October 25 & 26 as we host National Science Foundation (NSF) Program Officers and the STELAR Center for an informational workshop designed to highlight NSF grant programs focused on broadening participation in STEM!
During this event, NSF Program Officers will highlight funding opportunities supporting STEM education research, including the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) and the Discovery Research in PreK-12 (DRK12) programs. This workshop provides attendees the opportunity to ask questions and discuss concepts directly with NSF. An optional second day of training led by STELAR will focus on developing competitive ITEST proposals.
