Building on the team member requirements in the S-STEM solicitation, participants will apply to and participate in the workshop as two-member teams – principal investigators (PIs) and researchers (Co-PIs or Sr. Personnel). PIs who have had prior S-STEM submissions recommended for decline are especially encouraged to apply.
PI participants (STEM faculty who will be leading the project) must be faculty members from two-year or four-year institutions currently teaching in one of the eligible S-STEM disciplines:
- biological sciences (except medicine and other clinical fields);
- physical sciences, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and materials science;
- mathematical sciences;
- computer and information sciences;
- geosciences;
- engineering; or
- technology areas associated with the preceding fields (e.g., biotechnology, chemical technology, engineering technology, information technology).
Researcher participants (Co-PI or Senior Personnel) must have expertise in educational, social/behavioral, discipline-based educational, or institutional research. Prospective PIs will be asked to include their researcher team member’s information in Step 2 o f the application. (Researchers do not complete the application process). Please refer to the FAQ page if you are a researcher who is not committed to a project team.
