  Selection Criteria

The selection of a participant is based on criteria set by the individual laboratory implementing the DOE ACTS Program.  The number of teachers selected for a given program is dependent on the funds available for that lab to implement the program.  Teachers are encouraged to reapply if they are not initially selected for a specific program.
