This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), supports a conference that aims to address the persistent lack of integration of local ecological knowledge with Western STEM education. The $100,000 award, effective from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024, will enable WestEd, a non-profit education research and service agency, to convene a group of Indigenous academic, community, and education leaders. Over three phases, the conference will facilitate knowledge sharing, develop recommendations, and disseminate learnings to improve educator capacities in delivering culturally appropriate STEM instruction for Indigenous students. The goal is to bridge the gap between Indigenous knowledge and Western STEM literacy, ultimately broadening Indigenous participation and success in STEM fields.
