NEB Educator Laboratory Materials Support Application

 
New England Biolabs Inc. (NEB) Educator Laboratory Materials Support Application
(Support Application)
 
 
Purpose
To support science educators passionate about bringing hands-on biology experiences into their classrooms, who otherwise have limited access to basic laboratory equipment, supplies, reagents, and instructional materials (individually and collectively, Laboratory Materials), with a focus on assisting diverse and/or underserved communities.
 
 
Description
NEB STEM and Mentorship DE&I team (STEM DE&I Committee) offers the following Support options:
  • Financial support of $1500 or $5000 to purchase Laboratory Materials (each Financial Support); or
  • A miniPCR® Lab in a Box Kit™ #4 from Genes in Space valued at $4990 (Lab in a Box) + 1 hour of training on this equipment + 10% off the cost of the first Learning Lab order. The Lab in a Box Kit™ #4 is a portable kit for teaching molecular biology distributed by Genes in Space/miniPCR®. For more information about the kit, visit this webpage. For information about miniPCR Learning Lab, visit https://www.minipcr.com/products/minipcr-learning-labs/  
to eligible science educators selected by the STEM DE&I Committee at its sole discretion (Recipient(s)), who demonstrate a need for Laboratory Materials to be used in their molecular biology course(s).
 
 
Laboratory Materials
Each applicant choosing the Financial Support will provide a list of needed Laboratory Materials up to the corresponding value of the requested Financial Support to the STEM DE&I Committee. If awarded, the STEM DE&I Committee will then purchase the Laboratory Materials, on Recipient’s behalf, up to the maximum value of the allocated Financial Support, and will deliver, at NEB’s expense, the Laboratory Materials to the Recipient’s school to be used by the Recipient for teaching in Recipient’s biology course(s).
 
For applicants choosing the Lab in a Box, the Lab in a Box will be purchased on Recipient’s behalf and will be delivered to the Recipient’s school.
 
 
Eligibility
Applicants must be a middle school or high school science educator teaching in an accredited school located in the United States (US), the District of Columbia (DC), or Puerto Rico (PR) during the current or upcoming school year in which the application is submitted. An applicant may only submit one application during any calendar year. Only one application per school will be considered.
