Informal Science Education (ISE) Program

The program invests in projects that develop and implement informal learning experiences designed to increase interest, engagement, and understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by individuals of all ages and backgrounds, as well as projects that advance knowledge and practice of informal science education. Projects may target either public audiences or professionals whose work directly affects informal STEM learning. ISE projects are expected to demonstrate strategic impact, innovation, and collaboration.

Deadline: The preliminary proposal is due March 8, 2007. For more information, visit www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5361&org=NSF&sel_org=NSF&from=fund.
