This program, which is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, pays teachers a stipend while they participate in research that will enhance their classroom teaching and revitalize their interest in physics and astronomy.  Participants will also receive laboratory supplies they can use to improve their classroom environment.  In addition to receiving training in research skills, participants meet together to discuss common interests in secondary physics and astronomy education.
