The application period for this year's Mini-Grant Program is closed.
The program was a two-year pilot, and during this time the Lab
received several creative proposals designed to promote science,
technology, engineering and math for middle school students from
diverse communities.
Overall, however, we received fewer applications than we anticipated
from organizations competing for the available funds. As a result, the
Lab has decided to discontinue the Mini-Grant program. We thank all
those who submitted applications, and hope that those who received
funding are very successful in their missions to support STEM learning.
