Summary

• It has been an exciting period of growth for
  QuarkNet nationally and locally.
• We have worked extensively with 11 teachers and
  15 high school students.
• The program should grow, now that the word is
  out.
• We are now in need of sustaining resources to
  manage the local program properly.

24
Sustaining the Effort

• NSF/DOE Funding
• QuarkNet out-year funding
• RET (research experiences for teachers)
• Experimental construction funds, DØ and CMS
• Endowment or Corporate Sponsorship
• AEP, Siemens, ?
• Other initiatives
• Nanotechnology Center proposal to NSF by the
  College of Engineering
• New Particle Physics initiatives.
