Ruben G. Carbonell of North Carolina State University, Mary A. Brittain of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and Joseph M. DeSimone of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill have support from the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities to establish a Math and Physical Sciences-Internship in Public Science Education (MPS-IPSE) in the area of Carbon Dioxide in Nature and Technology. The program is a joint effort of the Kenan Institute for Engineering, Technology and Science at NC State University, the NSF Science and Technology Center for Environmentally Responsible Solvents and Processes (CERSP) led by UNC Chapel Hill, and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. Outstanding math and science K-12 teachers from the Research Triangle area in North Carolina will be recruited as MPS Fellows for a three-year program. During this time period, the Fellows will have summer internships at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and the NSF CERSP facilities at NC State University and the UNC Chapel Hill. Scientists in the CERSP and staff in the museum will serve as mentors throughout the three-year program to help the teachers develop novel curriculum tools for K-12 education, and educational programs and displays for the museum public. At the same time, the teachers will be able to obtain graduate credit for advanced degrees in education at local universities, and they will participate in professional and personal leadership training programs throughout the academic year.

北卡罗来纳州立大学的鲁本·G·卡博内尔、北卡罗来纳自然科学博物馆的玛丽·A·布里坦和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的约瑟夫·M·德西蒙得到了多学科活动办公室的支持，以在自然和技术中的二氧化碳领域建立数学和物理科学-公共科学教育实习(MPS-IPSE)。该项目由北卡罗来纳州州立大学凯南工程、技术和科学研究所、北卡罗来纳州教堂山领导的NSF环境负责溶剂和工艺科学技术中心(CERSP)和北卡罗来纳州自然科学博物馆共同努力。来自北卡罗来纳州研究三角地区的优秀数学和科学K-12教师将被招募为国会议员研究员，参加一个为期三年的计划。在此期间，研究员将在北卡罗来纳州自然科学博物馆以及北卡罗来纳州州立大学和北卡罗来纳州教堂山的国家科学基金CERSP设施进行暑期实习。CERSP的科学家和博物馆的工作人员将在整个为期三年的计划中担任导师，帮助教师为K-12教育开发新的课程工具，并为博物馆公众提供教育计划和展示。与此同时，教师将能够在当地大学获得教育高级学位的研究生学分，他们将参加整个学年的专业和个人领导力培训计划。
