Scholarships + Ecosystem of Academic/Student Supports = STEM Degrees Proposals Due March 27! Webinar Outline Presentation Section Introductions S-STEM Big Picture Ideas Project Team Institutional Planning Evaluation Knowledge Generation / Research Question & Answer Section The Big Picture for S-STEM Proposals … Supported Disciplines are listed in the solicitation Workforce Motivated locally, nationally, in the present and near future H1B visa fees Institutional Scans Strengths you can build upon Attrition points you can address prior/current S-STEM & STEP awards Describe the STEM degree “pathway” the “path” from a student receiving a scholarship to entering the workforce with degree in hand (or moving to another institution for a more advanced degree). Supported Disciplines Be enrolled full time in a program leading to an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree in one of the following disciplines for each term for which a student receives a scholarship: biological sciences (except medicine and other clinical fields); physical sciences, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and materials science; mathematical sciences; computer and information sciences; geosciences; engineering; or technology areas associated with the preceding fields (e.g., biotechnology, chemical technology, engineering technology, information technology); Others (not necessarily excluded) -- make the case using … STEM content of the core of studies Likely destination in the workforce (STEM jobs) Prior NSF Support PAPPG Anything with a PI or Co-PI -- as a PI or Co-PI -- and a start date in the last 5 years S-STEM Solicitation If there have been any prior S-STEM or STEP (STEM Talent Expansion Program) awards at the institution, the proposed project should build on the experience from the prior or ongoing project. Proposals should include quantitative and qualitative outcomes of any current or former project(s) and how the experience has informed plans for the current project. This is especially true when the same or related disciplines are involved, even if there is no overlap in personnel. The Project Team The Project PI is … a STEM faculty member (who teaches students the project supports) The Project Team contains … an administrator Co-PI who can help “get things done” an
