7 Dec | Dear Colleague Letter: STEM Access for Persons with Disabilities (STEM-APWD)

NSF

NSF wishes to notify the research community of a new initiative called STEM Access for Persons with Disabilities (STEM-APWD) that seeks to increase the engagement of persons with disabilities (PWD) in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields across seven directorates at NSF. This DCL invites submissions from eligible organizations² under two broad types: 1) conference proposals and 2) requests for supplemental funding to existing awards. Proposals and supplemental funding requests are sought that address intersections between disability and fundamental science and generalizable research that addresses pathways from theory to application and use.
