Dear Colleagues,
NSF is accepting applications to the Inclusion Across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science – INCLUDES grant program.
NSF INCLUDES is a comprehensive national initiative designed to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) discoveries and innovations by focusing on broadening participation in these fields at scale. NSF INCLUDES Planning Grants (Planning Grants) build capacity for the development of collaborative infrastructure to: (a) facilitate innovative partnerships, networks, and theories of action for broadening participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at scale and (b) lead to the establishment of future centers, alliances, or other large-scale networks to address a broadening participation challenge.
