NSF INCLUDES Initiative — Expanding Access to STEM for Underrepresented Communities

About This Opportunity

This NSF initiative funds organizations and institutions working to increase participation of underrepresented groups — including women, people with disabilities, and racial minorities — in STEM education and careers. Grants support collaborative projects that create systemic change in how STEM opportunities are accessed across communities. Local nonprofits, schools, and universities in Omaha and Council Bluffs can apply for funding to develop inclusive STEM programs. This is an institutional grant, not a direct award to individual students.

Who Can Apply

Open to nonprofits, educational institutions, and organizations. Projects must focus on broadening participation of underrepresented groups in STEM.
