Opportunity Information: Apply for PD 16 7680
The Broadening Participation in Engineering (BPE) Program aims to create a more diverse and well-prepared engineering workforce by supporting projects that enhance the engineering interests and opportunities for underrepresented groups across all educational levels. This initiative emphasizes collaborations among various stakeholders including schools, colleges, engineering institutions, industry, and government to ensure the outcomes are scalable and sustainable.
For FY 2016, BPE focuses on funding innovative research and demonstration projects that address the challenges of low participation and insufficient preparation within underrepresented demographics in engineering fields. The projects can explore issues like the lack of access to meaningful STEM education, support systems, and the impact of structural inequalities in education and workforce systems.
Additionally, BPE shows particular interest in projects targeting diversity among engineering faculty, especially concerning racial and ethnic minorities. Proposals should be grounded in existing research and provide data to justify targeting specific groups, with clear objectives and strategies for enhancing representation.
Projects must also include assessment and evaluation measures to track their effectiveness and contribute to knowledge in the field. Before submitting proposals, potential principal investigators (PIs) are advised to consult with the BPE program director to confirm alignment with program goals and to meet submission deadlines for full consideration.Apply for PD 16 7680
