Brief Description:

Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) is a comprehensive national initiative designed to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). discoveries and innovations focused on NSF's commitment to diversity, inclusion and broadening participation in these fields. NSF INCLUDES aims to address the various complex equity and inclusion-related challenges and opportunities that characterize the nation's cultural and linguistic diversity, with a special emphasis on women, members of racial and ethnic groups, persons with disabilities, and person with low socio-economic status.
For FY 16, the NSF seeks proposals for Design and Development Launch Pilots to catalyze the formation of NSF INCLUDES Alliances.
Harvard University, as one institution, may submit one preliminary proposal,as the lead, to the NSF for consideration of this opportunity.
