Broadening Participation at NSF
NSF committed to B.P. strategic plan via:
1. Prepared a diverse globally engaged STEM workforce.
2. Expanding efforts to B.P. from underrepresented groups and diverse institutions in all NSF activities.
3. Integrating research with education, and building capacity.
4. Improving processes to recruit and select highly qualified panels’ reviewers.

What Do Underrepresented groups, Women and Persons with
Disabilities Bring?
Talents and skills Unique experiences Invaluable research approaches Creativity and innovation Excellence in diversity Why we do not have enough women/
URM/PWD in ENG? (lack of role model, welcoming environment, mentoring, leadership, promotion and tenure, fear of unknown, lack of family and community support, K-12 culture)
ENG focused strategies for Broadening Participation:
Directorate for Engineering 10
Create earlier diverse pipe line engaged with ENG in the Middle Schools and High Schools to provide the support needed to pursue engineering activities.
Expanding efforts to promote leadership position for faculty in their early and mid career positions.
Support graduate students and Postdoc opportunities to increase the pool of diverse faculty from underrepresented groups, women, persons with disability and veterans.
Integrating international research experiences.

Broadening Participation Research Initiation Grants in Engineering
(BRIGE)
Opportunity to increase the diversity of researchers through research support early in their careers
Encourages support of under-represented groups, engineers at minority-serving institutions, and persons with disabilities
BRIGE awardee Stephanie Luster-Teasley (L) and NC A&T students Desiree Gordon and Patrick Onochie discuss preliminary research for the development of controlled-release polymers for environmental remediation.

BRIGE Program
For undertaking exploratory investigations, acquiring preliminary data, and/or developing collaborations.
Include a plan showing how the proposed activities will increase:› Participation of engineers from underrepresented
groups, and› The number of such individuals that serve as role
models for the scientific workforce Funding for two years up to $175K Success rate is 25% for 2008, 31% for 2009, and
26% for 2010.Directorate for Engineering 13

Graduate Research Diversity Supplement
(GRDS) Supplement to ENG ongoing awards. Submitted by PI of an existing ENG award. Only one new Ph.D. student to be supported
under each grant. Funding for 2010 $2.25 M, 41k/fellow for 60
fellows. Dear Colleague Letter and FAQs available on web
site (DCL NSF 11 -13; and FAQ NSF 11-14). This year submission date was January 20th 2011.
Mentoring Plan is required.
Small Business Postdoctoral Research Diversity Fellowship
Program 50 Fellowships One year duration Fellow performs research in a small
business (current NSF S.B.I.R.Phase II awardee)
Fellow receives $65,000 from NSF/ENG/IIP funds and $10,000 from the small business
ASEE matches applications with businesses and manages the application process

Global Collaboration(via NSF Office of International Science
and Engineering)
Explore global activities and international workshops to involve women and minorities.
Inform current PIs about opportunities for supplements to support international activities.
International Planning Visits: travel to plan collaborative research with prospective foreign partners.
International Workshops: hold meetings (Abu Dhabi, Egypt, Turkey, Barcelona) to identify common priorities and approaches for collaboration on specific, well-defined research areas.
