They are similar to the demonstration program proposed in this report because they target PhDs or graduate students in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology, explicitly support standards-based K-12 science and mathematics instruction, and are predicated on some kind of partnership between higher education and school districts. The MCPS/NIH program had not been evaluated at the time of this report.

have two goals: · to prepare PhD graduates in science, mathematics, engineering or technology with the necessary skills to assume leadership roles in science education in the nation's diverse academic institutions, and · to provide opportunities for outstanding PhD graduates to develop expertise in a facet of science education research that would qualify them for the new range of academic positions that will come with the 21st century. The fellowships, which were first awarded in fiscal 1997, are given to academic institutions.
