This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) encourages the submission of supplemental funding requests to engage the public in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programming and activities that showcase existing exhibits, films, maker experiences and other public science communication efforts funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). This DCL is led by the NSF Directorate for STEM Education (EDU), in partnership with the Office of Legislative and Public Affairs (OLPA), and is open to current Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) and Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) award recipients in EDU’s Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (DRL).
In honor of its 75th anniversary next year, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has issued a Dear Colleague Letter encouraging the submission of supplemental funding requests of up to $99,000 to engage the public in STEM programming and activities that showcase existing exhibits, films, maker experiences, and other public science communication efforts funded by NSF’s AISL and ITEST programs. Proposed activities may include highlighting existing NSF-funded informal STEM learning experiences, supporting free or reduced-cost participation, or advising and staffing events on NSF STEM Day, May 10, 2025. Requests should be submitted by November 1.
