Grant Description

<div class="SCXW202008365 BCX9"> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW202008365 BCX9"> In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) unveiled a set of “Big Ideas,” 10 bold, long-term research and process ideas that identify areas for future investment at the frontiers of science and engineering (see <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/index.jsp">https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/index.jsp</a>).

The Big Ideas represent unique opportunities to position our Nation at the cutting edge of global science and engineering leadership by bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives to support convergence research.

As such, when responding to this solicitation, even though proposals must be submitted to the Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) / Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM (EES), once received, the proposals will be managed by a cross-disciplinary team of NSF Program Directors. The INCLUDESInitiative is a comprehensive, national effort to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) discovery and innovation, focused on NSF’s commitment to ensuring accessibility and inclusivity in STEM fields, as communicated in the <a class="Hyperlink SCXW202008365 BCX9" href="https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2022/nsf22068/nsf22068.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">NSF Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2022 - 2026</a>. The vision of the INCLUDES Initiative is to catalyze the STEM enterprise to work collaboratively for inclusive change, resulting in a STEM workforce that reflects the Nation’s population. More specifically, the INCLUDES Initiative seeks to motivate and accelerate collaborative infrastructure building to sustain systemic change to broaden participation in STEM fields at scale.Significant advancement of the INCLUDES Initiative's goalswill result in a new generation of STEM talent and leadership to secure the Nation’s future and long-term economic competitiveness. </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW202008365 BCX9"> With this solicitation, NSF offers support for five types of projects that connect and contribute to the National Network: (1) Design and Development Launch Pilots, (2) Collaborative Change Consortia, (3) Alliances, (4) Network Connectors, and (5) Conferences.

The INCLUDES National Network is a multifaceted collaboration of agencies, organizations, and individuals working collectively to broaden participation in STEM. The INCLUDES National Network serves as a testbed for designing, implementing, studying, refining, and scaling collaborative change modelsand is composed of: </div> <div class="ListContainerWrapper SCXW202008365 BCX9"> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW202008365 BCX9"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW202008365 BCX9" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="9" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"> INCLUDES funded projects </li> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW202008365 BCX9" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="9" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"> Other NSF funded projects </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="SCXW202008365 BCX9"> <div class="ListContainerWrapper SCXW202008365 BCX9"> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW202008365 BCX9"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW202008365 BCX9" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="9" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"> Subcommittee on Federal Coordination in STEM Education (FC-STEM) agencies </li> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW202008365 BCX9" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="9" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"> Scholars engaged in broadening participation research and evaluation, and </li> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW202008365 BCX9" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="9" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1"> Organizations that support the development of talent from all sectors of society to build an inclusive STEM workforce. </li> </ul> </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW202008365 BCX9"> All INCLUDES funded projects must operationalize five design elements of collaborative infrastructure - (1) shared vision, (2) partnerships, (3) goals and metrics, (4) leadership and communication, and (5) expansion, sustainability, and scale- to create systemic change that broadens participation in STEM. </div> </div>
