Mission Critical STEM Partnership with the Air Force Office of Scientific Research

Abstract

Consistent with the Department of Defense (DoD) Air Force Office of Scientific Research s (AFOSR) diversity and inclusion goals, Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) has aligned its programmatic activities to address the workforce diversity priorities of AFOSR 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 member-schools ability to attract, retain, and graduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students; and (3) identify and prepare a qualified STEM workforce.
