NSF RESEARCH PARTICIPATION PROGRAMSFOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS OFSCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS,

SUMMER 1968

The Research Participation for High School Teachers program of the NationalScience Foundation provides an opportunity for high school teachers of scienceand mathematics, who meet specified requirements, to actively participate inscientific research. About 380 teacher-participants will be supported during thesummer of 1968.

Selected teachers will participate in research conducted at colleges, universi-ties, and nonprofit research organizations by actually working full time in thelaboratory and/or in the field for 8 to 10 weeks on an individual basis in associa-tion with experienced investigators. The research experience and the close associ-ation with established scientists actively engaged in research aid in the profes-sional development of, and open new vistas for, the participating teacher and,through him, his students. The ultimate goal is improved science instructionresulting in the better preparation of high school students for college-level study.The projects supported under Research Participation for High School Teach-

ers (RPHST) are research-oriented and make no provision for academic coursework, per se, However, provision for academic credit for research is included insome of the RPHST projects. The National Science Foundation does supportinstitutes offering academic course work for teachers of science and mathematics;these are listed in brochures available from the NSF.

Eligibility and Selection

To be eligible for a stipend in this program, an applicant must be a high schoolscience or mathematics teacher or supervisor at the time of application, andshould have had at least 3 years of teaching experience by June of 1968. Teachersapplying to this program should have a masters degree in a scientific discipline orin science education with a major in a scientific discipline, or they must havecompleted all requirements for such degrees except for the research required fortheir theses. For purposes of this program the term "high school teachers^’ in-cludes those who teach science or mathematics in grades 9-12 in either public ornon-public schools. Teachers sharing instructional time between high school andjunior college courses are also eligible for this program. Participants will be se-lected on the basis of their ability to benefit from the project and their capacityto develop as teachers of science and mathematics. In selecting individuals forparticipation and otherwise in the administration of the project, the host institu-tion will not discriminate on the ground of the race, creed, color, or national originof any applicant or participant.

Selection of participants is solely the responsibility of the institutions whichare to conduct the projects. The National Science Foundation does not partici-pate in the selection process aside from establishing the general eligibility criteriaapplicable to all projects.

Inquiries and ApplicationsRequests for additional information, application forms, and other inquiries

should be made to the project directors at the addresses listed below. Early in-quiry, well in advance of the March 1 deadline, is recommended in order to meetall of the requirements of an individual institution, especially since some mayrequire transcripts or other supporting documents at the time of application.A listing of the institutions offering research participation programs follows:
