2019 – The Society for Science announced that $65,000 in grants have been given to 20 extraordinary organizations supporting STEM education and science literacy.

STEM Research Grants provide support to middle and high school teachers engaging their students in authentic scientific research. Over 6 years, $775,000 has been awarded to 367 teachers. Priority consideration is given to schools that support students from low-income communities and demographics underrepresented in STEM fields.
