ANNOUNCEMENT
Pathways to Broadening Participation in Response to the CEOSE 2011-2012 CEOSE Recommendation
The 2011-2012 CEOSE (Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering) report requested that NSF launch a bold new initiativefor broadening participation (BP) with the goal of eventually having the participation of NSF-supported scientists and engineers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields mirror the population of the Nation. The NSF BP Working Group examined CEOSE’s request and developed an array of options to augment the Foundation’s on-going efforts in broadening participation in STEM.
BIENNIAL REPORTS TO CONGRESS
Every two years, the Committee shall prepare and transmit to the Director a report on its activities during the previous two years and proposed activities for the next two years. The Director shall transmit to Congress the report, unaltered, together with such comments as the Director deems appropriate.
