Additional Information on Eligibility: *Organization Limit: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: - Proposals are invited from academic institutions in the United States and its territories, and from consortia thereof. Academic institutions, as defined by the GPG, are universities and two- and four-year colleges (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. The academic institutions must offer either associate degrees or baccalaureate degrees in science, technology, engineering and/or mathematics (STEM). Projects are expected to include multiple academic institutions and may involve business and industrial partners, professional societies, or other stakeholders. A single institution must submit the proposal and other partners may be involved as sub-awardees. (Separately submitted collaborative proposals as defined in the GPG are not allowed.)
Grant Description: The STEP Centers competition allows a group of faculty representing a cross section of institutions of higher education to identify a national challenge or opportunity in undergraduate education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and to propose a comprehensive and coordinated set of activities that will be carried out to address that challenge or opportunity within a national context. In the current competition, efforts must be related to the biological sciences, engineering, or the geological sciences.
