About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of the Army seeks to award one cooperative agreement worth up to $277 million over 10 years to establish the Army STEM Education Consortium (ASEC). The agreement aims to provide a continuum of meaningful STEM learning experiences for students and educators through effective STEM education and outreach programs. Key requirements include addressing nine fundamental elements such as consortium management, strategic communications, and program management for initiatives like GEMS and eCYBERMISSION. The lead organization must be a non-federal entity, and applications are due by March 28, 2025. Evaluation criteria will prioritize programs serving underrepresented populations and military-connected students.
The cooperative agreement includes a two-year base period worth up to $52 million, followed by four two-year option periods ranging from $53 million to $60 million each, for a total potential period of performance of 10 years. The program falls under CFDA 12.630 (Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering) and will be administered by the Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Performance will take place across the United States, its territories, and Department of Defense Education Activity locations worldwide.
