Description
The Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Education Program (GAMTTEP) is a grant program that aims to address historical disparities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, particularly among females and minorities at the elementary and secondary school level. The program seeks to support innovative curriculum development, immersive learning experiences, and community engagement initiatives. The program has a total funding amount of $1.8 million, with an estimated $300,000 available per award. The program's goals include attracting K-12 students in underrepresented groups to STEM education and careers in the transportation industry, creating a talent pipeline from GAMTTEP to other FHWA Workforce Development Programs and other transportation careers, fostering creativity and forward-thinking by incorporating modern technologies, real-world problem-solving, and hands-on experiences in the curriculum, and developing strong partnerships between Government, educational institutions, and the private sector to create a collaborative community that supports and uplifts underrepresented groups in transportation. Some key requirements for applicants include completing mandatory forms, such as the SF-424, and submitting a supplemental narrative. The program also has a cost-share requirement, but it is not required for this opportunity.
