The Department of Defense (DoD) recently published the RFP <\/a>for the National Defense Education Program (NDEP) for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education, Outreach, and Workforce Initiative Programs, Fiscal Year 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOD seeks innovative applications on mechanisms to implement STEM education, outreach, and\/or workforce initiative programs, here onto will be referred as STEM activities.\u00a0The Department intends to award multiple grants, subject to the availability of funds.\u00a0Each individual award will be up to a maximum of $3,000,000, for a period of up to three years.\u00a0Applications for larger amounts may be considered on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal STEM Strategy states, \u201cThe pace of innovation is accelerating globally, and with it the competition for scientific and technical talent.\u00a0Now more than ever the innovation capacity of the United States\u2014and its prosperity and security\u2014depends on an effective and inclusive STEM education ecosystem\u201d.\u00a0In addition, the National Defense Strategy has called for the Department of Defense to make significant investments in science and technology modernization priority areas to meet key capability and capacity needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DoD is the largest employer of scientists and engineers in the United States. Therefore, the Department must maintain a robust pipeline of STEM talent by investing in pre-kindergarten through undergraduate STEM activities to ensure the DoD has enduring access to the best and brightest talent.\u00a0The NDEP enables the DoD to cultivate and access high-quality STEM personnel vital to national defense now and in the future.\u00a0This solicitation seeks innovative approaches to support DoD STEM education, outreach, and workforce development that aligns with DoD and Federal STEM Strategic Plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
