About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking applicants for the Broadening Participation in Engineering (BPE) Program. The BPE Program aims to strengthen the future U.S. engineering workforce by enabling and encouraging the participation of all citizens in the engineering enterprise. The program will support projects across four tracks: Planning and Conference Grants, Research in Broadening Participation in Engineering, Inclusive Mentoring Hubs (IMHubs), and Centers for Equity in Engineering (CEE). The evaluation criteria will focus on the science of broadening participation and equity in engineering, as well as collaborative efforts that foster the professional development of a diverse engineering workforce and innovative approaches to building capacity through inclusivity and equity within the engineering academic experience. The application deadline and other important dates are not specified in the provided information.
The BPE Program awards typically range from $250,000 to $650,000, with project periods spanning 3-5 years. The funding will support a variety of research and development activities, including advancing scientific understanding, developing new technologies, and addressing national priorities in fields such as artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, and quantum information science. The place of performance for these projects is not explicitly stated.
Synopsis
Through the Broadening Participation in Engineering (BPE) Program, NSF seeks to strengthen the future U.S. engineering workforce by enabling and encouraging the participation of all citizens in the engineering enterprise. The BPE Program seeks to support not only research in the science of broadening participation and equity in engineering, but also collaborative endeavors which foster the professional development of a diverse and well-prepared engineering workforce as well as innovative, if not revolutionary, approaches to building capacity through inclusivity and equity within the engineering academic experience. To solicit the best ideas for these activities, both in formation and enactment, the BPE Program will support projects at various levels of readiness and complexity through the following four tracks: Planning and Conference Grants; Research in Broadening Participation in Engineering; Inclusive Mentoring Hubs (IMHubs); and Centers for Equity in Engineering (CEE). Specific details regarding these pathways can be found in the Program Description.
