Dear Colleague:

The Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) seeks new proposal submissions to continue its support for science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and computer science education innovations, research, capacity, and workforce development in and with rural and remote communities. Through this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), EDU acknowledges the multidimensionality of rural America and welcomes proposals that meet the specific needs and that leverage the wide-ranging assets and opportunities of rural and remote communities, such as the Delta Region, Appalachia, and Tribal and EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) jurisdictions.

The recent Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering (CEOSE) 2024 report to Congress, Making Visible the Invisible: STEM Talent of Rural America, highlights the immense value of rural education to ensure workforce participation, national security, and social mobility and economic growth through innovation. This highlight aligns with NSF’s core values and policies, where geographic representation
