NSF Advancing Informal STEM Learning proposals due Jan. 8

  • Proposal deadline: Wednesday, Jan. 8

The National Science Foundation Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) Program is committed to funding research and practice, with continued focus on investigating a range of informal STEM learning (ISL) experiences and environments that make lifelong learning a reality. This program seeks proposals that center engagement, broadening participation and belonging, and furthering the well-being of individuals and communities who have been and continue to be excluded, underserved, or underrepresented in STEM along several dimensions.

The current solicitation encourages proposals from institutions and organizations that serve public audiences and specifically focus on public engagement with and the understanding of STEM, including:

  • Community STEM
  • Public participation in scientific research (PPSR)
  • Science communication
  • Intergenerational STEM engagement
  • STEM media

Learn more about the AISL program and proposal instructions. Please contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education if you are interested in submitting an application to this funding opportunity or will be a subaward on another institution’s proposal. Given the January 8 deadline, the proposal document review period will begin mid-December.
