Partners for this Track 1 project include George Mason University (GMU), Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), and the Fairfax and Prince County Public Schools. The partnership between NOVA and GMU is designed to insure that NOVA students have a smooth transition into the program at GMU and to encourage them to both major in a science and seek a teaching credential in a STEM field. The project offers Undergraduate Learning Assistantships to sophomores and second semester freshman at both GMU and NOVA (a total of 50 at GMU and 83 at NOVA), Noyce Scholarships to junior and senior STEM majors interested in becoming secondary school STEM teachers (a total of 36) and a streamlined process for Noyce Fellows to gain teacher certification. Intellectual Merit: The project is modeled after a highly successful Noyce project at the University of Colorado Boulder and takes advantage of an existing project at George Mason established to increase the number of STEM majors recruited retained and graduated, The College of Science Accelerator Program (a program that includes the Departments of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, and Forensic Sciences). Broader Impact: The broader impacts of the project are its potential, through a Learning Assistants Program that includes specific attention to teaching at both the university and K-12 level, to set a model for involving students early in their academic career in a program that both adds to their content knowledge in STEM and to their interest and skills in teaching STEM.

这个轨道1项目的合作伙伴包括乔治梅森大学（GMU），北方弗吉尼亚社区学院（NOVA），以及费尔法克斯和王子县公立学校。NOVA和GMU之间的合作伙伴关系旨在确保NOVA学生顺利过渡到GMU的课程，并鼓励他们主修科学并寻求STEM领域的教学证书。该项目为GMU和NOVA的学生和第二学期新生提供本科学习援助（GMU共有50名学生，NOVA共有83名学生），为有兴趣成为中学STEM教师的初级和高级STEM专业提供诺伊斯奖学金（共有36名），并简化了诺伊斯研究员获得教师认证的流程。智力优势：该项目是仿照科罗拉多大学博尔德分校非常成功的Noyce项目，并利用乔治梅森大学为增加STEM专业的招聘人数而建立的现有项目，即科学学院加速器计划（该计划包括数学，物理，化学，生物学，地质学和法医学系）。更广泛的影响：该项目的更广泛的影响是它的潜力，通过学习助理计划，其中包括在大学和K-12水平的教学特别关注，设置一个模型，让学生在他们的学术生涯早期参与一个程序，既增加了他们的内容知识在干和他们的兴趣和技能在教干。
