Resource and Evaluation Center (REC)
AAAS is excited to launch the new S-STEM REC! Established with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF: DUE-2224093), the REC supports S-STEM grant awardees and scholars, and works to increase the overall effectiveness of the NSF S-STEM portfolio. Specifically, the REC will provide:
- Context-conscious resources, knowledge, and connections to support S-STEM Network program leadership.
- Professional development and connection to career building opportunities for S-STEM scholars.
- Portfolio-wide synthesis of outcomes and broad dissemination of findings to support evidence-based decision making across the STEM ecosystem.
The REC includes five essential components: an asynchronous virtual community; a public-facing online presence; an in-person annual scholar's meeting; a technical assistance suite; and an integrated evaluation and research framework. Stay tuned for updates about REC activities, and spread the word about joining our mailing list!
The S-STEM REC is one of three awards recently announced by AAAS to create a more equitable U.S. STEMM ecosystem and advance global competitiveness.
