Synopsis
Through the Broadening Participation in Engineering (BPE) Program, NSF seeks to strengthen the future U.S. engineering workforce by enabling and encouraging the participation of all citizens in the engineering enterprise. The BPE Program seeks to support not only research in the science of broadening participation and equity in engineering, but also collaborative endeavors which foster the professional development of a diverse and well-prepared engineering workforce as well as innovative, if not revolutionary, approaches to building capacity through inclusivity and equity within the engineering academic experience.
To solicit the best ideas for these activities, both in formation and enactment, the BPE Program will support projects at various levels of readiness and complexity through the following four tracks: Planning and Conference Grants; Research in Broadening Participation in Engineering; Inclusive Mentoring Hubs (IMHubs); and Centers for Equity in Engineering (CEE). Specific details regarding these pathways can

Dear Colleagues:
The rapid environmental changes currently underway create unprecedented challenges for nearly all life on earth, underscoring an imminent need for understanding organismal resilience in the face of those challenges. The Division of Integrative Organismal Systems’ (IOS) Organismal Response to Climate Change (ORCC) solicitation supports interdisciplinary research on mechanisms of organismal response to climate change that are contextualized through both an eco-evolutionary lens and a plan for use-inspired applications to better predict and mitigate the effects of a rapidly changing climate on earth’s living systems. Critical to those efforts are microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, and viruses. Whether free-living, or through partnerships with a diversity of hosts (e.g. other microorganisms, plants, or animals), microorganisms are ubiquitous, diverse, and functionally significant, persisting in spaces that undergo extreme
