The Innovation Generation grants program features three funding areas:

1) Innovation Generation Grants will support targeted STEM education programs for U.S. pre-school through 12th grade students and teachers, with grants ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 each (Deadline: March 1, 2010.)

2) Innovation Generation Collaborative Grants will support medium- to large-scale STEM education collaborations between two or more nonprofit organizations, schools, and/or school districts, with joint requests ranging from $150,000 to $500,000 each. (Deadline: April 1, 2010.)

3) Innovation Generation University Grants will support hands-on competitions, seminars, and design competitions for undergraduate- and graduate-level students at select universities, with maximum grants of $50,000 each. (Deadline: March 1, 2010 for invited applicants only.)

This year's total program funding has been increased to total $7.5 million. Funding priority will be placed on programs that focus on girls and minorities that are currently underrepresented in the STEM disciplines, and take place in communities with Motorola employees. At least 25 percent of total grant dollars will support new programming that has been operating for less than two years and is not simply an expansion of an existing program. At least 15 percent of total grant dollars will support environment-focused programming.
