SUMMARY:Due Date for Authentic Experiences Enhanced Funding Application
DESCRIPTION:This is an opportunity to augment funding for existing programs or events for PATHS partners. Applications due by COB or 5pm on each due date. \n  \nAbout PATHS Enhanced Funding Opportunity\nPATHS is committing funds (approximately $30\,000 per year) to support PATHS Partners to enhance existing programs and/or events with authentic engineering and NASA-related resources\, experiences\, or activities for students and their teachers. We invite requests in the range of $250 to $5000 to enhance your existing activities in support of the overall goal of the PATHS coalition: to broaden participation in engineering in Massachusetts and develop multiple pathways for engineering students to succeed by enhancing the supportive culture of a broad coalition of partners. \nApplication deadlines are January 1\, April 1\, July 1\, October 1 of each year to allow for a variety of program/event planning timelines. We are looking to add funding to existing events or programs. The funding for those programs should already be secured. These funds are to be used to increase diversity\, increase participation of BIPOC participants or their teachers\, or to make engineering components more effective (better speakers\, materials\, or activities). Funding is not to be used for general operating expense\, staff planning time\, or room rentals. Funding will be given for specific enhancements. \nApplications will be reviewed by the PATHS Authentic Experiences committee based on \n\nthe effective leveraging of PATHS funds\,\nthe authenticity of the proposed NASA-related experience\,\nthe increase in BIPOC participation of the proposed enhancement\,\nthe support for success of the planned activity\, and 5) the alignment of the proposed activity with PATHS goals.\n\nExamples of authentic experiences that could be funded by PATHS include but are not limited to: \n\nFunds to add a NASA scientist speaker to an event\nMaterials to add an engineering activity to an existing STEM or non-STEM curriculum\nStipends for BIPOC participants\n\nIf you have any questions\, please email Aimee.Bonanno@umb.edu \n\nApply Here
