Research
The STEM Center and associated departments at TTU apply for numerous research grants annually focused on a variety of topics, studies, and outcomes. Included in this section of the website are currently funded research programs and past programs (found in Research Archives).
Reference Key:
- NSF = National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation funds research and education in science and engineering, through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements. The Foundation accounts for about 20% of federal support to academic institutions for basic research.
- MSP = Math Science Partnership
Grants to institutions of higher education to provide research-based professional development to K-12 teachers of math and science. These Math and Science Partnership grants create a three-year relationship between a university and area school systems to enhance teaching of these critical subject areas.
- ITQ = Improving Teacher Quality
The Improving Teacher Quality State Grants Program (formerly the Eisenhower Professional Development Program) was enacted to improve teacher quality and instructional leadership through partnerships between high-need elementary and secondary schools and postsecondary education institutions. This program gives states the flexibility to implement strategies that meet specified needs to improve teacher quality and raise student learning in the core academic subjects of mathematics, science, arts, civics and government, economics, English, foreign languages, geography, and history.
