This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program provides $100,000 in funding to the National Collegiate Inventors & Innovators Alliance, Inc. (doing business as Venturewell) to host a conference focused on reimagining science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) innovation and entrepreneurship through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The conference will bring together a diverse group of STEM innovation and entrepreneurship experts to create a vision and roadmap for building a more inclusive STEM innovation ecosystem. Through iterative design and ideation, the conference aims to redefine approaches to STEM innovation and entrepreneurship, open new pathways for inclusive innovation, and generate new definitions of entrepreneurship, disruption, and success. The anticipated outcomes include an initial framework for an inclusive STEM innovation and entrepreneurship sector, a series of co-created strategic recommendations, published action agendas, and a workplan for further exploration and implementation of additional strategies. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific progress and technological innovation.
