In partnership with the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS), Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) is offering Robert Noyce Scholarships to qualified science teacher candidates who commit to working in an urban or high-need district after graduation. The 30% attrition rate of new science teachers within IPS and inadequate numbers of new teachers pursuing science degrees statewide are two particular areas of concern that the IUPUI-IPS Noyce partnership is addressing. The goal is to graduate 30 Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Earth Science teachers over four years, who have earned a STEM bachelor's degree from Purdue University (IUPUI) and also fulfilled the Indiana Division of Professional Standards requirements for teaching Science in grades 6 -12. The Advance Urban Learning: Teach Science project is based on current pedagogy and educational research existing within IUPUI's successful "Learning to Teach, Teaching to Learn" program, known for its focus on the challenges of teaching in an urban context. Experienced teachers serve as mentors and host Noyce Scholars in their classrooms. Recruitment efforts focus on attracting minority students into teaching and include a course for freshman and sophomores on exploring teaching as a career. This project broadens and expands the current Robert Noyce Scholarship post-baccalaureate program at IUPUI to include undergraduate Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science students. Noyce Scholars are future leaders who have undergone extensive preparation in their content areas and are also well-versed in current pedagogical practice, benefiting both colleagues in the profession as well as the students they guide and instruct. This diverse group also serves as future mentors for successive Noyce teacher candidates.

印第安纳大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校（IUPUI）与印第安纳波利斯公立学校（IPS）合作，向毕业后承诺在城市或高需求地区工作的合格科学教师候选人提供罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金。IUPUI-IPS Noyce合作伙伴关系正在解决的两个特别关注领域是，IPS内新的科学教师的流失率为30%，以及在全州范围内攻读科学学位的新教师数量不足。目标是在四年内毕业30名生物，化学，物理或地球科学教师，他们已获得普渡大学（IUPUI）的STEM学士学位，并满足印第安纳州专业标准部门对6 -12年级科学教学的要求。“推进城市学习：教学科学”项目基于IUPUI成功的“从学习到教学，从教学到学习”项目中现有的教学法和教育研究，该项目以关注城市环境下教学的挑战而闻名。经验丰富的教师担任导师，并在课堂上接待诺伊斯学者。招聘工作的重点是吸引少数民族学生从事教学工作，并为大一和大二学生开设了一门关于探索教学职业的课程。该项目拓宽和扩展了IUPUI目前的罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金学士后项目，包括生物、化学、物理和地球科学的本科生。Noyce学者是未来的领导者，他们在其内容领域进行了广泛的准备，并且精通当前的教学实践，使专业的同事以及他们所指导和指导的学生受益。这个多元化的群体也将成为诺伊斯教师候选人的未来导师。
