Chicago Science Teacher Research (CSTR) Program

该奖项为3年标准奖提供资金，以支持伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）工程现场教师研究经验（RET）计划，题为“芝加哥科学教师研究（CSTR）计划”，由Andreas A.林宁格 这是对之前支持的三年RET研究中心的更新。CSTR计划是由三所UIC学院的教师与芝加哥公立学校当局和工业利益集团建立战略合作伙伴关系的倡议，以满足在生物工程和纳米技术以及化学和环境领域从事新兴技术和前沿研究的在职教师的需求。 RET网站计划将于每年夏天举行，为期7周，在现有的UIC研究实验室中为10名RET研究员提供跨学科项目，为期三年。 围绕定期活动形成的后续计划将包括在芝加哥公立学校当局主持下的夏季和秋季RET会议，以及教师对参与K-14学校的后续访问。

This award provides funding for a 3 year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) entitled, "Chicago Science Teacher Research (CSTR) Program," under the direction of Dr. Andreas A. Linninger. This is a renewal of a previously supported three year RET Site. The CSTR program is an initiative by the faculty of three UIC Colleges in a strategic partnership with the Chicago Public School authorities and industrial interest groups to address the need to engage in-service teachers in emerging technologies and cutting edge research in the areas of bioengineeing and nanotechnology, as well as chemistry and the environment. The RET Site program will be held each summer for 7 weeks offering interdisciplinary projects in existing UIC research laboratories for 10 RET fellows each year for a period of three years. The follow-up program formed around regular events will include Summer and Fall RET Conferences under the auspices of the Chicago Public School authorities as well as follow-up visits of faculty to participating K-14 schools.
