Can aspects of science education be incorporated in to a research proposal?
Yes. As a part of the final steps toward career preparation, Fellows are encouraged to take part in educational activities as appropriate. Some examples of such activities include: preparation of Fact Sheets and similar products relevant to their research, involvement with educational committees of professional societies, visiting schools as guest scientists, working directly with teachers to enhance science teaching, and organizing a public field trip to the Fellow’s research area. These types of activities are encouraged for USGS permanent staff as well. Applicants should understand that the principal focus of projects under the Mendenhall Program is scientific research in the disciplines or subdisciplines pertinent to the Research Opportunity.
