<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",serif;color:black">I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you of an important update regarding the Call for Proposals (CFP) for the OSRHE Full STEM Ahead program. Unlike
previous years when the CFP was released in early fall semester and projects were implemented in the spring semester, this year we have adjusted the timeline. The CFP will now be available late fall/early spring, with projects starting in the fall semester
of the 2026-2027 school year. This adjustment provides you with additional time to plan, establish partnerships, and allows grant recipients greater time between award notification and implementing projects. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
