This award provides funding for the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) to develop a GK-12 program. This program will provide fellowships for twelve graduate students per year to work with K-12 teachers in six south Mississippi school districts. Fellows will be selected from the graduate programs in biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, physics and polymer science. Each Fellow will pair with a K-12 teacher and a university mentor to develop and implement standards-based activities and lessons that will be integrated into the mathematics and science curriculum. The USM's Center for Science and Mathematics Education (CSMEd) will serve as the coordinating unit for the project. When taken as a whole, the school districts involved include a population of students that is representative of the state, approximately 51% African American, 48% White, and 1% Other. The plan for the GK-12 program includes a summer workshop to bring teachers and Fellows together for planning, weekly seminars for Fellows during the school year, joint meetings for all participants (university faculty, Fellows and teachers) at least once during each semester, professional development opportunities for the teachers, and travel for teachers and Fellows to science outreach centers (science museums, zoos, aquaria), and local, regional, and national conferences.

该奖项为南密西西比大学（USM）开发GK-12项目提供资金。该计划将每年为12名研究生提供奖学金，与南密西西比六个学区的K-12教师一起工作。研究员将从生物学、化学、地质学、数学、物理学和聚合物科学的研究生课程中选出。 每个研究员将与K-12教师和大学导师配对，以开发和实施基于标准的活动和课程，这些活动和课程将被整合到数学和科学课程中。 USM的科学与数学教育中心（CSMEd）将作为该项目的协调单位。当作为一个整体来看，所涉及的学区包括学生的人口是国家的代表，约51%的非洲裔美国人，48%的白色，和1%的其他。GK-12计划的计划包括一个夏季研讨会，将教师和研究员聚集在一起进行规划，学年期间每周为研究员举办研讨会，所有参与者的联席会议（大学教职员、研究员和教师）每学期至少一次，为教师提供专业发展机会，并为教师和研究员提供前往科学推广中心的旅行（科学博物馆、动物园、水族馆），以及地方、区域和国家会议。
