  2. Mission of EHR • To achieve excellence in U.S science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education at all levels and in all settings (both formal and informal) in order to support the development of a diverse and well-prepared workforce of scientists, technicians, engineers, mathematicians and educators and a well-informed citizenry that have access to the ideas and tools of science and engineering.

  3. Goals of the EHR Portfolio • Prepare the next generation of STEM professionals and attract more Americans to STEM careers. • Increase the technological and scientific literacy of all Americans.

  4. Goals of the EHR Portfolio • 3. Broaden participation (diversity) and achievement in STEM. • 4. Attend to critical workforce needs by attracting new people to STEM careers and by supporting the development and retooling of STEM workforce.

  5. Division of Human Resource Development • HRD program focus on increasing the presence of minorities, women and girls, and persons with disabilities in science and engineering

  6. HRD Programs - Broadening Participation • Minorities and Minority Serving Institutions: • Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate Program (AGEP) • Centers for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) • Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU-UP) • The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program (LSAMP) • Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP)

  7. Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) • DUE programs aim to strengthen and ensure the vitality of undergraduate STEM education for: • science, mathematics, or engineering majors; • students in science and engineering technology programs; • future teachers at the elementary and secondary school levels; and • non-science majors seeking scientific and technical literacy.

  8. DUE Programs • STEM Talent Expansion Program (STEP) • Seeks to increase the number of students (U.S. citizens or permanent residents) and receiving associate or baccalaureate degrees in established or emerging fields within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). • http://www.ehr.nsf.gov/ehr/DUE/programs/step/

  9. DUE Programs • Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement Program (CCLI) • Supports: • The development of new educational materials (EMD track) • The adaptation and implementation of existing educational materials (A&I track) • Large-scale faculty professional development (ND track) • The new development, adaptation or dissemination of tools for assessment of student achievement (ASA track) • http://www.ehr.nsf.gov/ehr/DUE/programs/ccli/

  10. Looking for Potential Partners? • Go to DUE’s Project Information Resource System (PIRS) at: • https://www.ehr.nsf.gov/pirs_prs_web/search/ • Search to get up to date information about DUE project activities and results.
