The Quality Education For Minorities Network Inc. (QEM) was awarded a $676,002 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, supports a 3-year conference project aimed at strengthening the capacity of Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) to compete for funding from the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program and the National STEM Teacher Corps Pilot Program.
The project will provide technical assistance, including grant writing workshops, project planning support, and partnership development opportunities, to enable faculty researchers at MSIs to submit competitive proposals to these two NSF programs. The goal is to significantly increase the quality and quantity of proposals from MSIs, driving innovation and excellence in STEM teacher education. The project will directly serve approximately 120 faculty participants annually through the workshop activities and post-workshop mentorship. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
