本研究探讨了科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的多样性举措的资助实践和挑战。在9所大型研究密集型大学对代表48个独特STEM干预项目的55名干预项目管理人员进行了采访。这些采访审查了STEM干预措施的设计、结构、实施和资金挑战，揭示了机构资金优先事项往往与国家增加STEM多样性的努力背道而驰。由于机构面临预算削减和外部资金减少，STEM干预措施的机构支持反映了大学对STEM领域多样化的承诺（或缺乏）。许多项目都在努力应对随着时间的推移资金的变化、人员配备和服务交付不足以及长期项目可持续性。
This study examines the funding practices and challenges of diversity initiatives found in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Interviews with 55 intervention program administrators, representing 48 unique STEM intervention programs, were conducted at nine large research-intensive universities. The interviews, which examined the design, structure, implementation, and funding challenges of STEM interventions, revealed that institutional funding priorities often run counter to national efforts to increase diversity within STEM. As institutions face budget cuts and reduced external funding, institutional support of STEM interventions reflects the university's commitment (or lack thereof) to diversifying the STEM fields. Many programs struggled with changes in funding over time, inadequate staffing and service delivery, and long-term program sustainability.
