This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the "Collaborative Research: AGEP ACA: Critical STEM Faculty Alliance (C-STEM Alliance)" project at Northwestern University, New York University, and the University of Pennsylvania. The $129,100 award, effective August 15, 2024, aims to develop an infrastructural technology system that provides more opportunities and lowers systemic risks for historically underrepresented groups in STEM fields. The project will collect data to identify inequities affecting underrepresented minority doctoral students, postdoctoral scholars, and early career faculty, and implement institutional self-assessments to understand demographic and socio-technical representation in STEM curricula and research. The goal is to help these researchers build strong professional networks, advance their careers, and collaborate with experts in academia, industry, and government to improve technology's impact on underserved communities.
