Description
This opportunity is part of the NSF Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Initiative, which aims to enhance U.S. leadership in science and engineering by developing STEM talent across all sectors and groups. The program supports large-scale networks ("Alliances") that build collaborative infrastructure to implement, study, and scale up systemic strategies for broadening participation in STEM fields at a national level. This supplemental funding mechanism is specifically for existing INCLUDES Alliance grantees, enabling them to scale and sustain systemic change activities, continue engagement with the INCLUDES National Network, and further the mission of catalyzing inclusive change to create a STEM workforce reflective of the nation’s diversity.
