Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to bring to your attention a recent "Dear Colleague Letter" posted by the Education and Human Resources Directorate at NSF, at
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12034/nsf12034.jsp?org=NSF
If you have questions about this posting, please contact bps-rn@nsf.gov or 703-292-8640.
NSF has recently issued this call for design proposals to develop innovative models for a Broadening Participation in STEM Resource Network (BPS-RN). We anticipate that the BPS-RN will work with NSF grantees as well as other stakeholders at all types of institutions and organizations that are working to broaden the participation of individuals that are underrepresented in STEM education and workforce (women, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities). The BPS-RN is also intended to support the NSF performance goal to "Prepare and engage a diverse STEM workforce motivated to participate at the frontiers" in the 2011-2016 NSF Strategic Plan. We expect that the design phase will result in creative ideas from a wide range of organizations and individuals for the organization and implementation of the BPS-RN.
Sincerely,
Amber Story
