Frontiers in Physiology Fellowship: $8500 Summer Research — Science teachers of grades 6-12 are invited to apply for this year-long immersion in the world of cutting-edge physiology research. Teamed with a local scientist, Fellows do hands-on research for seven-eight weeks during the summer as well as explore and practice teaching methods that integrate inquiry, equity and the Internet into their classrooms. The Fellowship concludes with a trip to a scientific conference in 2008 in San Diego, CA. Awardees receive a stipend of up to $8500 over the year that includes travel and a materials mini-grant. Applications are due January 11, 2007.
