SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This is a request to revise and extend the expiration date of this 
currently approved information collection.
    The NIST Summer Institute and the NIST RET are competitive 
financial assistance (cooperative agreement) programs designed to 
support middle school science teachers to participate in hands-on 
workshops, lectures, tours, visits, or in scientific research with 
scientists and engineers in NIST laboratories in Gaithersburg, 
Maryland. The workshops provide teachers with instructional information 
and ideas to use in their teaching, and emphasize the measurement 
science done at NIST. The Program provides a world-class opportunity 
for those teaching our nation's next generation of scientists to learn 
more about the subjects they teach and the research in those subjects 
at NIST, and to offer a platform from which teachers can inspire their 
students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and 
mathematics (STEM).
    To receive funding, nominated teachers must submit applications 
through their U.S. public school districts or U.S. accredited private 
educational institutions for potential selection to participate in the 
NIST Summer Institute or the NIST RET This request is for the 
information collection requirements associated with applying for 
funding. The information is used to perform the requisite reviews of 
the application to determine if an award should be granted.

II. Method of Collection

    Applications may be submitted electronically via http://www.grants.gov.
