NSF Racial Equity in STEM Education proposals due Oct. 11

• Proposal deadline: Tuesday, Oct. 11

The National Science Foundation’s Racial Equity in STEM Education program supports projects focused on advancing racial equity in STEM education and workforce development that are led or co-developed by individuals and communities most impacted by the inequities caused by systemic racism.

Collectively, proposals funded by this program description will:

• Advance the science and promotion of racial equity in STEM
• Substantively contribute to removing systemic barriers that impact STEM education, the STEM workforce, and scientific advancement
• Institutionalize effective and inclusive environments for STEM learning, STEM research, and STEM professionals
• Diversify project leadership (PIs and co-PIs), institutions, ideas, and approaches that NSF funds
• Expand the array of epistemologies, perspectives, and experiences in STEM

Prospective PIs are encouraged to review the call and related resources and email a one-page concept paper in advance of submitting a proposal. The Office of Research and Graduate Education pre-award team looks forward to working with interested faculty to prepare and submit a proposal. Please contact us as soon as you decide to apply.
