Subject: LTER Educational Supplements
Dear LTER PIs,

The NSF LTER program is committed to catalyzing the enhancement of diversity in the community of scientists and educators participating in LTER activities. To that end, we are pleased to solicit supplemental requests for Research Opportunity Awards (ROA) and Research Experiences for Teachers (RET). Requests that provide opportunities for members of groups underrepresented in the sciences, including women, minorities and persons with disabilities (visible or non-visible), faculty at Minority Serving Institutions, and teachers whose schools are located in under-served communities, will be prioritized. The strongest proposals will clearly and explicitly demonstrate how a supplement will contribute to the goal of broadening participation.

The number of supplement requests that may be supported in each category depends on the number and quality of each type of proposal we receive and is contingent on the availability of funds. Typical budgets are $25,000 for ROAs and $10,000 for RETs.  A request for a higher level of support must be strongly-justified.  These will be reviewed by the LTER Working Group and submission of a proposal is not a guarantee of funding. In addition, we are unlikely to provide more than one supplement of each type per LTER site.

Please follow the Guidelines for preparing these supplements found at the links below. Please submit your proposals by the target date of January 15th. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered only as budgets allow.
