AFOSR Mission Critical STEAM Program

Abstract

Consistent with the Department of Defense Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) diversity and inclusion goals, Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) has aligned its programmatic activities to address workforce diversity priorities by contributing to the agency in three critical areas: research, higher education, and industry. Specifically, TMCF has devised a cost effective recruitment and capacity-building strategy that will (1) increase the research capacity of underrepresented groups; (2) improve TMCF's member-schools' ability to attract, retain and graduate science, technology, engineering, agriculture and mathematics (STEAM) students; and (3) identify and prepare a qualified STEAM and STEM workforce.
