Proposal Steps

Write a 1–1.5-page summary of your proposal idea, and include the following:

  • A description that includes what, when, where, who, why (if you don’t have all the answers yet, that is fine):
    • What. What will you implement if you get funded?
    • When. When will you implement each part of your idea?
    • Where: What location are you proposing? Think about both geography and setting (e.g., classroom, after school).
    • Who: Who will be participating in your project?
    • Why: Why is this a compelling idea?
  • Include information about the design elements that address the three pillars:
    • Innovative Use of Technologies in Learning and Teaching
    • Partnerships for Career and Workforce Preparation
    • Strategies for Equity in STEM Education
  • Statements of intellectual merit and broader impact from the activity summarized above
  • Identify your proposal as Exploring Theory and Design Principles (ETD), Developing and Testing Innovations (DTI), or Scaling, Expanding, and Iterating Innovations (SEI). (This may change as you further develop your idea.)
