MLSC Opens New Round of the Education and Workforce Development Grant Program During Massachusetts STEM Week 2026 - MLSC MLSC Opens New Round of the Education and Workforce Development Grant Program During Massachusetts STEM Week 2026 At the heart of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center’s (MLSC) mission is a commitment to fostering a passion for STEM and inspiring the next generation of innovators.
By empowering learners across Massachusetts from an early age, we are not only expanding access to science but also igniting a lifelong curiosity about the possibilities that lie ahead and the impact they can make. We believe that when young minds are encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, and imagine what’s possible, there is no limit to what they can achieve. Because in Massachusetts, we believe curiosity changes the world.
Centered around the theme “STEM Starts Now,” Massachusetts STEM Week celebrates the idea that STEM exploration and discovery can take place at any stage of life. From early childhood education to adult learning, the initiative encourages individuals of all ages to engage with STEM while highlighting the educational opportunities and career pathways available throughout the Commonwealth.
In tandem with STEM Week, the MLSC is launching the next round of the Education and Workforce Development Grant Program, an initiative which seeks to develop, enhance, and expand life sciences education programs serving learners throughout the Commonwealth to ensure that the industry has a robust workforce pipeline.
The grant program offers three distinct tracks: Secondary Education Grants (Grades 6-12) : Funding for public schools, districts, and non-profit organizations to support applied learning that provides students with skills relevant for life sciences careers and increases awareness of career opportunities.
Grants are intended for purchasing life sciences equipment, materials, supplies, technology, and providing teachers with professional development.
Out-of-School Time (OST) Education (Grades 6-12) : Funding for public schools/districts and non-profit organizations to implement new or expanded educational programming offered beyond the traditional school day, focused on life sciences and predominately serving underrepresented and/or low-income youth.
Post-Secondary Education and Training Grants : Funding for academic institutions and non-profit organizations offering life sciences industry-aligned certificate and degree programs. Grants are intended for the purchase and installation of equipment, materials, supplies, technology, and lab renovation that will enable training programs to effectively prepare students for high-demand career opportunities in the life sciences.

The U.S. Government Policy for Stopping High-Risk Life Sciences Research, released July 28, 2026 under EO 14292 and implemented at NIH through NOT-OD-26-101, replaces mitigation with prohibition. It bans dangerous gain-of-function research outright, gates potential DGOF behind government-wide review, and creates International Research of Concern — a research-security regime wearing biosafety clothing. Penalties run to five-year debarment and False Claims Act exposure.
