SMARTER selection committee has now completed the review of all applications submitted for the 2005 cycle. We received 31 applications from highly qualified teachers from the five boroughs of New York, Long Island, and New Jersey. The 10 finalists selected for the 2005 summer research program have been notified of the committee's decision by email. The finalists are requested to complete and return a signed statement indicating their intent to participate in the 2005 SMARTER program (a copy of the statement has been sent to the finalists and is available for download: HERE). This statement must be received at our office by April 29, 2005.

The following teachers participated in the 2005 SMARTER program through the support of the NY State Department of Education under a Title IIB Math Science Partnership Grant as part of a Polytechnic University/Community School District 21 grant.
