FY20 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for the Department of Navy (DoN) Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM), Education and Workforce Program administered by the Office of Naval Research (ONR)
ONR seeks a broad range of applications for augmenting existing or developing innovative solutions that directly maintain, or cultivate a diverse, world-class STEM workforce in order to maintain the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps’ technological superiority.
The goal of any proposed effort must provide solutions that will establish and maintain pathways of diverse U. S. citizens who are interested in uniformed or civilian DoN STEM workforce opportunities.As the capacity of the DoN Science and Technology (S&T) workforce is interconnected with the basic research enterprise and STEM education system, ONR recognizes the need to support efforts that can jointly improve STEM student outcomes and align educational efforts with Naval S&T current and future workforce needs.
This announcement explicitly encourages projects that improve the capacity of education systems and communities to create impactful STEM educational experiences for students and workers.
Submissions are encouraged to consider including active learning approaches and incorporating 21st century skill development.
