Research Experiences for Teachers

Two teachers in the research lab

The Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) at the University of Notre Dame is a summer research program for teachers in the Michiana region. The projects will be directed by faculty members from several academic departments in the Colleges of Engineering and Science at the University of Notre Dame. Information about active RET programs at Notre Dame is hosted on Research Engagement’s website.

Participating teachers will be encouraged to create new curricular modules for use in their classrooms. Program lengths vary from four to eight weeks, and participants receive a stipend and three non-degree graduate credit hours. Stipend amounts are determined by the length of the program and the number of hours required in the lab or classroom per week.
