The Naval STEM Coordination Office (NSCO) seeks a broad range of applications for augmenting existing and/or developing innovative solutions that directly maintain and/or cultivate a diverse, world-class Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce to maintain the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps’ technological superiority. The goal of proposed efforts must provide solutions that establish, build, and/or maintain STEM educational pathways and workforce opportunities for diverse U.S. citizens directly relevant to DON science and technology areas.
NSCO invites all interested applicants, including academia, non-profits, and for-profit and/or small businesses, to join a webinar on the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), FY24 DON STEM Education and Workforce Program [N00014-24-S-F003]. The webinar is intended to provide interested applicants with an overview of the FOA and provide an opportunity to ask questions related to the FOA. Please submit questions prior to the webinar. There will be a short Q&A session during the event.
The FOA explicitly encourages projects that improve the capacity of education systems and communities to create impactful STEM educational experiences for students of all ages, specifically underserved and underrepresented students, and the naval-related workforce.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribal Colleges or Universities, Alaska Native-serving institutions, Native-Hawaiian-serving institutions, Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions, Native American-serving nontribal institutions, Minority Institutions, and covered educational institutions in 10 USC 2362 are especially encouraged to participate.
Attendance for the webinar is not mandatory and will not positively or negatively impact the overall review of any applicant submission.
