Description
ONR
seeks a broad range of applications for augmenting existing or developing
innovative solutions that directly maintain, or cultivate a diverse,
world-class STEM workforce in order to maintain the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps
technological superiority. While this announcement is relevant for any
stage of the STEM educational system, funding efforts will be targeted
primarily toward projects addressing the below communities or any combination
of these communities:
Secondary
education communities;
Post-Secondary
communities;
Informal
science communities;
Current
Naval STEM workforce communities.
Project
scope may range in size and complexity. Projects that are already established
with prior funding sources or have established stakeholder partnerships are
especially encouraged to consider the following scope areas:
Develop
and implement exploratory pilot projects that seek to create new educational
experiences within educational and training communities.
Develop
larger cohesive STEM education and training activities that strengthen the
capacity of regional communities and stakeholders to improve STEM education and
training.
Establish
meetings of stakeholders that must seek to connect relevant people and
organizations to explicitly develop broader projects for affecting entire
communities.
Applicants
are encouraged to understand the significant reorganization of STEM funding
across the Federal government. Any potential partnerships should
preferably be established prior to white paper submission. Applicants are
strongly encouraged to consider under-represented and under-served populations
including women and minorities in project plans.
