<p class="MsoNormal">The Department of Defense (DoD) National Defense Education Program (NDEP) is seeking to strategically fund science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at 2-year institutions and Community Colleges (2YI/CCs) through
a consortium approach. The DoD STEM vision is a diverse and sustainable STEM talent pool ready to serve our Nation and extend the Department’s competitive edge. This NOFO aims to enhance the STEM workforce through regional consortia which will develop and
encourage STEM ecosystems between 2YI/CCs and 4-Year Institutions (4YIs), industry, local education agencies, and others in STEM education. Each regional DoD STEM Community College Consortium should collaboratively work with members of their geographical area
to promote partnerships that enhance STEM education at 2YI/CCs, while aligning to the DoD STEM mission to “inspire, cultivate, and develop exceptional STEM talent through a continuum of opportunities to enrich our current and future DoD workforce poised to
tackle evolving defense technological challenges”. These collaborations should foster the development of 2YI/CC STEM ecosystems that have the ability to implement far-reaching sustainable programs, specifically those that promote the completion of certificate
training programs aligned to DoD priority areas; increase transitions from 2YI/CC programs to STEM degrees from 4YIs; and meet the vision, roles, and goals outlined in the DoD STEM Strategic Plan.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Responses to this funding opportunity should focus on either or both of the below goals:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">(1) Promote and support the completion of technical training and certificate programs that strengthen the DoD and Defense Industrial Base (DIB) science, technology, and manufacturing workforce.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">(2) Develop, support, and increase the transition of students, especially those from underserved and underrepresented populations to include veterans and their spouses, from 2-year institutions and/or Community College
STEM programs to STEM degrees at 4-year institutions.<o:p></o:p></p>

technologies that are designed to solve particular rehabilitation problems or to remove environmental barriers for people with disabilities. RERCs also demonstrate and evaluate such technologies, facilitate service delivery system changes, stimulate the production
and distribution of new technologies and equipment in the private sector, and provide training opportunities. In this field-initiated area of "Strategies, Techniques, and Interventions," NIDILRR seeks to fund research and development that leads to rehabilitation
technologies, practices, and services that improve the health, and the physical, cognitive, sensory, and communication abilities of people with a wide range of disabling conditions. Rehabilitation engineering in this area should result in new or improved

to advance scientific discoveries and new research using a variety of approaches that harness the national talent ecosystem of experienced faculty. Recognizing that a successful faculty research career is neither linear nor continuous, this BRITE solicitation
seeks proposals that enable experienced researchers and scholars (tenured or equivalent) to forge new directions or to enter new fields by capitalizing or branching out of their established knowledge domains. All BRITE proposals are expected to address fundamental
research that creates new knowledge in one or more CMMI program areas. BRITE proposals must identify key research outcomes and describe the research plans for the period of funding sought. Although collaborative proposals are not permitted and will be returned
without review, the PI can include a collaborator in a limited role as senior personnel. The solicitation includes four funding tracks: Synergy, Pivot, Relaunch, and Fellow in support of experienced scientists and engineers (tenured or equivalent).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

address important biomedical problems for which insufficient or no solutions exist.The use of engineering principles is encouraged to establish these tools and technologies as robust, well-characterized solutions that fulfill an unmet need. A key change compared
with prior Bioengineering Research Partnership FOAs is that BPI applications must include at least one academic and one industrial organization. The purpose of the BPI FOA will be to encourage applications to: 1) establish a robust engineering solution to
a problem in biomedical research or the the practice of medicin; 2) develop a strategic alliance of multi-disciplinary partners based on a well-defined leadership plan; and 3) realize a specific endpoint within 5-10 years based on a detailed plan with a timeline
and quantitative milestones. The areas of research encouraged in this initiative must be consistent with the missions of the IC’s participating in the BPI funding opportunity. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop
meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The FOA is expected to be published in February 2022 with an expected application due date in May 2022. This FOA will utilize the U01activity code.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
