The National Computational Science Leadership program is open to all secondary level Mathematics and Science teachers, regardless of teachers' previous knowledge of and background in computational science. Participating teachers are not required to have an in-depth knowledge of computer science, as these skills will be taught as a part of this leadership program. The goal of this program is to provide participating teachers with the confidence, professional development, and skills required to integrate high performance computing technology into the educational curriculum. Selected teachers may use the funds to take an accredited course in atmospheric sciences, attend a relevant workshop or conference, or purchase scientific materials or equipment for the classroom. Completed applications are due to the Education Committee by August 1 .
Grant applications are available online .
There is no limit on the number of Grants that may be provided to a single educational institution or school district. Institutions must be located in the United States or Canada. Grants will be awarded based on the feasibility, originality and innovational elements as judged by a Committee appointed by the Foundation. Every state is given the opportunity to assess their needs and create a professional development program for their school leaders. Every state may submit one application representing a broad, statewide coalition.
