This Project Grant award of $106,050, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports a conference and collaborative activities to increase proposal development skills and submission rates for STEM education projects among institutions of higher education (IHEs) in the EPSCoR jurisdictions of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

The key objectives of the project are to: (1) conduct a proposal development workshop for 50 researchers from the target states to demystify NSF funding and the review process, (2) develop an online collaborative research community for attendees to support proposal development and submission, (3) identify and help dismantle barriers to NSF engagement through focus group activities, and (4) provide post-workshop support to deconstruct NSF proposal components.

The project aims to build research capacity and increase competitiveness of STEM education proposals from IHEs in these EPSCoR jurisdictions, which are underrepresented in NSF funding compared to the national average. The award is being provided to the Quality Education for Minorities Network, a non-profit organization focused on improving STEM education opportunities for underrepresented groups.
