  2. Overview • Role of Diversity and Inclusiveness • Strategic and Tactical Thinking • Areas of Opportunity • Auxiliary Services • Bottom Line National Science Foundation

  3. The Role of Diversity • If we don’t have a diverse workforce, we limit the set of life experiences that an engineering team will have and, consequently, we limit the creativity that could be brought to bear.” • William Wulf, President, National Academy of Engineering • Diverse participation encourages creativity, stability and resilience. Enlisting a broad range of minds and backgrounds … yields products and services that benefit a broad range of consumers. Broad participation benefits business too. • National Center for Women in Information Technology National Science Foundation

  4. Strategic and Tactical Thinking • Comprehensive vs Cherry Picking • Collaboration… Co-investment… Leveraging • Capacity-Building Infrastructure Programs at NSF National Science Foundation

  5. EHR Invests in Building Capacity • Building educational capacity • LSAMP • AGEP • Building research capacity • HBCU-UP • TCUP • CREST • EPSCoR National Science Foundation

  6. Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) • Increase the number of minority students who enroll and complete degrees in baccalaureate STEM programs • Provides research experiences, academic support services, mentoring • Bridge to the Doctorate (initiated in 2003) • Connecting new LSAMP graduates to doctoral degree programs

  7. Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) • Increase significantly the number of underrepresented students pursuing advanced studies and receiving STEM Ph.D. degrees • Increase significantly the number of minorities entering the professoriate as role models and mentors

  8. Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP)andTribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) Improve the quality of STEM education Increase participation and success in undergraduate programs Increase access to undergraduate research opportunities

  9. Centers for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) • Build the research competitiveness of minority-serving institutions • Increase the recruitment and retention of individuals from diverse backgrounds in STEM study and STEM careers

  10. Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) • Joint program of the NSF and several U.S. states and territories • Promotes the development of the states' science and technology resources through partnerships with universities, industry, and government, and the Federal R&D enterprise

  11. Capacity-Building InfrastructureWho has it? • LSAMP: 34 Alliances, >450 institutions • AGEP: 22 Alliances, >100 institutions • HBCU-UP: 38 active awards to HBCUs • TCUP: 18 active awards at Tribal Colleges and Universities • CREST: 14 active sites at minority-serving institutions
