Opportunity Information: Apply for N68335 20 0001
The FY21 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education Programs (Opportunity Number N68335 20 0001) is a competitive grant opportunity run through the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) education outreach program, administered by the Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Lakehurst, New Jersey. It is a discretionary grant (CFDA 12.330) aimed at strengthening STEM education by increasing both participation and performance among students in grades 4 through 12.
The opportunity is narrowly targeted in two main ways: who can apply and where the impact must occur. Eligibility is limited to schools that already have a formal education partnership agreement in place with NAWCAD Lakehurst or have a partnership agreement pending. The program focus is regional, supporting STEM efforts serving students in Ocean, Monmouth, Mercer, and Burlington Counties in New Jersey. In other words, this is not a broadly open national STEM grant; it is intended to deepen and expand STEM programming through established (or soon-to-be-established) school partnerships tied to the Lakehurst command.
Funding under this FOA is intended to cover practical, program-facing costs that directly enable STEM learning experiences and educator development. One major category supports the development and execution of virtual STEM learning and activities, including virtual STEM camps and similar initiatives. Another category supports teacher participation in STEM education programs or conferences, explicitly including allowable travel-related expenses such as transportation, lodging, per diem, and conference registration fees. A third category supports participation in robotics competitions during the 2020/2021 school years, including registration fees and associated competition costs; the FOA names examples such as FIRST, SeaPerch, and VEX, while indicating comparable robotics competitions may also be considered. A fourth category allows support for other STEM education outreach initiatives that connect schools with national or regional organizations, with examples including MathCounts, the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), and Camp Invention. Across these categories, the common thread is that funding is meant to make concrete STEM opportunities possible for students and to build teacher capacity through high-quality professional learning tied to STEM.
Key administrative details provided in the announcement include an original closing date of November 4, 2020, and a creation date of October 20, 2020. The listing identifies the funding instrument as a grant and the activity category as education. Specific values for award ceiling and expected number of awards are not stated in the provided source data, suggesting applicants would need to consult the full FOA package or related guidance for any limits, typical award sizes, or anticipated award volume.
Overall, this FOA is best understood as a partnership-based STEM investment program: it leverages relationships between NAWCAD Lakehurst and local schools to fund virtual STEM programming, teacher professional development, robotics competition participation, and collaborations with established STEM organizations, all with the goal of improving STEM engagement and outcomes for grades 4-12 students in four New Jersey counties.Apply for N68335 20 0001
