NSF STEM SURVEY - The National Science Foundation (NSF), The American Institute for Research (AIR) and the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) are working together to examine how to better leverage NSF resources to broaden participation in STEM. To disseminate research findings and to make people more aware of the importance of broadening minority participation in STEM education, they are launching Broadening STEM.org. The site will feature data, interactive tools, research and commentary on STEM talent development in the United States. You are invited to share your experiences and express your passion for STEM. To be considered for participation, you are asked to provide some basic information at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/stemus. In addition to responding to the survey, you are invited to send photographs, publications and your resume or curriculum vita via email to NSFBPSTEM@air.org
