Summary
This funding opportunity supports science, technology, engineering, and education efforts with a strong emphasis on research development, learning, and workforce preparation. The programs are designed to strengthen innovation and capacity within a specific U.S. state while contributing to broader national research and education goals. Funding is intended to encourage participation in research activities, enhance educational experiences, and expand access to professional development in STEM-related fields.
Grant support is available primarily to individuals and nonprofit academic institutions, with eligibility varying depending on the type of opportunity. Individual applicants may include undergraduate and graduate students, educators, and researchers, while institutional applicants are typically colleges or universities. These opportunities are not generally intended for small businesses, as the focus remains on education, research, and public benefit rather than commercial development.
Most of the funding opportunities are limited to applicants located within one state or region, ensuring that local educational and research communities benefit directly. While applicants must be based in the eligible state, certain supported activities, such as research travel or conference participation, may take place elsewhere within the United States when they align with program goals.
The intent of the funding is flexible and supportive rather than prescriptive. Funds may be used to initiate or expand research projects, provide hands-on research experiences for students, enhance classroom instruction, support educator training, or enable participation in professional meetings and collaborative activities. These opportunities are designed to build skills, encourage innovation, and strengthen pathways into science and technology careers.
The benefits of these grants extend beyond financial support. Recipients gain opportunities for mentorship, professional growth, research engagement, and increased competitiveness for future funding. The programs emphasize curiosity-driven inquiry, educational advancement, and workforce readiness, helping participants contribute to scientific understanding while strengthening the state’s STEM ecosystem.
