This award provides funding for a 3 year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site program at Louisiana Tech University entitled, "NERO: Nanoscience Education and Research Outreach," under the direction of Dr. David Mills. The NERO program will link Louisiana Tech University engineers and scientists in the School of Biological Sciences, the Biomedical Engineering Program, and the Institute for Micromanufacturing with rural school systems in Louisiana, southern Arkansas and eastern Texas. The objectives of the program are to:1) engage middle and high school teachers and their students in conducting research through internships and summer research experiences/technology workshops with follow-up through academic year programs, 2) provide guidance for teachers as they develop materials to translate their increased understanding of the research process into classroom learning experiences, 3) build lasting relationships among teachers, researchers, K-12 students, and graduate students, 4) improve communication of science and engineering and the scientific research process to teachers, students and the community, and 4) increase interest of K-12 students in pursuing STEM careers. Co-funding is being provided by the NSF EPSCoR Program.

该奖项提供资金为3年的持续奖励，以支持研究经验的教师（RET）网站计划在路易斯安那理工大学题为“NERO：纳米科学教育和研究推广”，博士的指导下。 NERO项目将把路易斯安那理工大学生物科学学院、生物医学工程项目和微型制造研究所的工程师和科学家与路易斯安那州、阿肯色州南部和得克萨斯州东部的农村学校系统联系起来。 该计划的目标是：1）通过实习和夏季研究经验/技术研讨会与学年计划的后续行动，让初中和高中教师及其学生参与研究，2）为教师提供指导，因为他们开发材料，将他们对研究过程的理解转化为课堂学习经验，3）在教师，研究人员，K-12学生和研究生之间建立持久的关系，4）改善科学和工程以及科学研究过程与教师，学生和社区的沟通，以及4）提高K-12学生追求STEM职业的兴趣。 共同资助由NSF EPSCoR计划提供。
