This award provides funding for a three year continuing award for a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science Site Program at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) entitled, RET in Engineering and Computer Science Site-Chicago Science Teacher Research (CSTR) Program, under the direction of Dr. Andreas A. Linninger. This is a renewal of a successful 3 year RET Site program.The CSTR program is an initiative by the faculty of three UIC Colleges, Engineering, Education and Liberal Arts and Sciences, in a strategic partnership with the Chicago Public School authorities and industrial interest groups to engage a total of 39 in-service teachers, 13 per year for 3 years, in emerging technologies and cutting edge research in the areas of life sciences, nanotechnology, bioengineering and biomedical engineering. The program will improve the mathematics and science performance of elementary, middle and high-school students through better trained teachers and bridge the gap between experience in pre-college classrooms and cutting-edge university science and technology. The long-term objectives of the CSTR program are to advance math and science skills taught in Chicago area schools through the following three-tiered approach: 1) Nurture a science education coalition engaging K-12 teachers with university faculty mentors.2) Conduct a seven-week summer apprenticeship for in-service teachers using a learning-by-doing approach at experimental facilities at UIC, including formal graduate education combined with an all year around follow-up program for the development of discovery-based experiments, lectures, and conferences.3) Integrate the RET program with a concurrent undergraduate research site (REU) on novel materials and processes in bioengineering and a high-school student mentoring program.

该奖项为伊利诺伊大学（UIC）（UIC）的工程和计算机科学网站课程的研究经验（RET）在Andrereas A. Linninger博士的指导下，为伊利诺伊大学（UIC）的工程学和计算机科学Site-Chicago科学教师研究（CSTR）计划的教师和计算机科学网站计划的研究经验提供了资金。这是一项成功的3年RET网站计划的续签。CSTR计划是由三所UIC学院，工程，教育，教育和文科和科学的教职员工的倡议，与芝加哥公立学校的机构和工业兴趣小组的战略合作，使总计39名服务教师，每年13年，在Edge Edge Indecient of Edge Insologies of Emerging技术中，并参与总计39年的服务。纳米技术，生物工程和生物医学工程。该计划将通过训练有素的老师来改善小学，中学和高中生的数学和科学表现，并弥合大学前教室的经验与尖端的大学科学与技术之间的差距。 CSTR计划的长期目标是通过以下三级方法来提高芝加哥地区学校教授的数学和科学技能：1）培育科学教育联盟与K-12教师与大学教师导师一起聘请。2）进行为期七周的夏季学徒，以在服务中进行实验性教育，包括在包括UIC的实验性教育中，以实验性教育的发展，包括UIC的逐步发展，包括UIC的研究，包括UIC的研究，包括UIC的研究，包括UIC的研究，包括UIC的研究生，包括UIC的研究，该研究的成绩包括在内实验，讲座和会议。3）将RET计划与同时研究的本科研究站点（REU）整合在生物工程和高中生指导计划中的新型材料和过程中。
