![Taking Action: COVID-19 Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Challenge: An ideas challenge for institutions of higher ed](local/data/caches/images/scaled/img_00029672_300x300.png)
The National Science Foundation wants to hear what higher education institutions, including community colleges, have done during the pandemic to ensure diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in STEM programs. Selected winners will receive cash prizes totaling $200,000.
Send a three page narrative to NSF describing the evidence-based systemic actions that your college has taken or will take to mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic on the DEI of students and faculty in STEM higher education programs. The deadline is Jan. 30, 2022. Colleges do not need to have a grant from NSF to enter the challenge. Details can be found on the challenge information page.
Winners will be announced in March and invited to present their ideas at an NSF-hosted virtual event that will be open to the public.
