This award provides funding for a three year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison entitled, "RET Site: Cross-Cultural Connections: An RET Site Program with UPRM and the UW", under the direction of Dr. Juan J. De Pablo. The University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) on Nanostructured Interfaces and the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPRM) Center of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) on Biomedical and Energy-Driven Systems and Applications will collaborate to offer their local K-12 teachers the opportunity to learn about cutting edge research in nanoscale science and engineering (NSE) and materials science and engineering (MSE) and to create classroom educational materials based upon that research. This RET in Engineering program at UW and UPRM will provide a total of 23 K-12 teachers over a three year period, an opportunity to participate in a six week summer research and professional development experience with additional responsibilities and activities during the academic year to build upon the summer experience. As RET Fellows, the teachers will work with UW MRSEC and UPRM CREST faculty, postdoctoral associates, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students to conduct research in NSE/MSE and to develop related curriculum. A highlight of this program will be the capstone exchange week, during which the RET teachers and project team will go to UW or UPRM for a week long exchange between the RET Fellows of their RET experiences, research, posters, and curriculum materials; their schools and cultures of K-12 education; and their host universities.

该奖项为三年标准奖提供资金，以支持威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校工程现场项目中的教师研究经验（RET），题为“RET现场：跨文化联系：与UPRM和UW的RET现场项目”，在Juan J. De巴勃罗博士的指导下。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校（UW）纳米结构界面材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）和波多黎各大学马亚圭斯（UPRM）生物医学和能源驱动系统与应用科学与技术卓越研究中心（CREST）将合作，为当地K-12教师提供了解纳米科学与工程（NSE）前沿研究的机会。和材料科学与工程（MSE），并创建基于该研究的课堂教学材料。 在UW和UPRM的工程项目中，该RET将在三年内为23名K-12教师提供参加为期六周的夏季研究和专业发展经验的机会，并在学年期间承担额外的责任和活动，以建立夏季经验。 作为RET研究员，教师将与UW MRSEC和UPRM CREST教师，博士后助理，工作人员，研究生和本科生合作，在NSE/MSE进行研究，并开发相关课程。 该计划的一个亮点将是顶点交流周，在此期间，RET教师和项目团队将前往UW或UPRM进行为期一周的RET研究员之间的交流，他们的RET经验，研究，海报和课程材料;他们的学校和K-12教育文化;和他们的主办大学。
