HR 6366 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Boosting the Rural STEM Pipeline Act
To amend the National Science Foundation Authorization Act of 2002 and the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act to repeal cost-sharing with respect to the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill removes a cost-sharing requirement from the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, which provides funding for science and math teacher preparation. Currently, institutions receiving Noyce scholarships must contribute matching funds or resources; this bill eliminates that requirement. The bill also makes technical corrections to related provisions in federal law governing research and development programs.
