This award provides funding for a 3 year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site program at Louisiana Tech University entitled, "NERO: Nanoscience Education and Research Outreach," under the direction of Dr. David Mills. The NERO program will link Louisiana Tech University engineers and scientists in the School of Biological Sciences, the Biomedical Engineering Program, and the Institute for Micromanufacturing with rural school systems in Louisiana, southern Arkansas and eastern Texas. The objectives of the program are to:1) engage middle and high school teachers and their students in conducting research through internships and summer research experiences/technology workshops with follow-up through academic year programs, 2) provide guidance for teachers as they develop materials to translate their increased understanding of the research process into classroom learning experiences, 3) build lasting relationships among teachers, researchers, K-12 students, and graduate students, 4) improve communication of science and engineering and the scientific research process to teachers, students and the community, and 4) increase interest of K-12 students in pursuing STEM careers. Co-funding is being provided by the NSF EPSCoR Program.

该奖项为路易斯安那理工大学（Louisiana Tech University）的教师（RET）站点计划的研究经验提供了3年持续奖项的资金，题为“ Nero：Nanoscience教育和研究外展”，在David Mills博士的指导下。 Nero计划将与位于路易斯安那州，阿肯色州南部和德克萨斯州东部的乡村学校系统中的生物科学学院，生物医学工程计划以及微制造研究所联系路易斯安那理工大学的工程师和科学家。 该计划的目标是：1）通过实习和夏季研究经验和夏季研究经验/技术研讨会进行研究，并通过学年进行后续课程，为教师提供指导，在他们开发材料时为教师的理解不断地转化为课堂学习经验，以教师的了解不断地转化为教师，3）在教师中建立持久的研究人员，K-112的学生，4）学生和社区，以及4）增加K-12学生从事STEM职业的兴趣。 NSF EPSCOR计划提供了共同资助。
