fellowships to provide them with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of their own research, its societal and global contexts, and acquire value-added skills;
2) to enrich STEM learning and instruction in K-12 settings through strong partnerships with institutions of higher education to bring the excitement and the results of leading STEM reserach practice and findings to K-12 settings; and 3)
to provide institutions of higher education with an opportunity
to make a permanent change in their graduate programs
by incorporating GK-12 like activities in the training
of their STEM graduate students.
