这个羽毛会议是为任何人感兴趣的NSF奖学金在干（S-STEM）计划，包括现任和前任首席研究员（PI）和那些计划申请。S-STEM计划资助奖学金和学生支持活动，以支持STEM中的低收入，学术才华的学生。任何高等教育机构都可以申请S-STEM资助，该计划支持各种项目。设计和实施一个成功的S-STEM项目带来了许多挑战。本次会议的目标是促进S-STEM PI的实践社区。它将提供一个机会，讨论经验教训和编写S-STEM提案的最佳实践，导航项目实施的物流，并确保学生获得成功所需的支持。讨论的具体主题包括：（1）了解征集要求和常见的建议错误;（2）学者招聘和数据驱动的选择方法;（3）队列建设，包括为来自不同专业或班级的学生设计基于队列的活动，以及将新生融入现有队列的策略;以及（4）补救策略，包括积极干预和同伴支持。会议负责人将介绍每个主题;然后邀请与会者参加其中一个主题的分组讨论。最后，与会者将被邀请加入专门用于S-STEM最佳实践和经验教训的Slack工作区，在SIGCSE之后继续讨论S-STEM。
This Birds-of-a-Feather session is for anyone interested in the NSF Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) program, including current and former Principal Investigators (PIs) and those planning to apply. The S-STEM program funds scholarships and student support activities to support low-income, academically talented students in STEM. Any institution of higher education may apply for S-STEM funding, and a variety of projects are supported by the program. Designing and implementing a successful S-STEM project poses many challenges. The goal of this session is to catalyze a community of practice for S-STEM PIs. It will provide an opportunity to discuss lessons learned and best practices for writing S-STEM proposals, navigating the logistics of project implementation, and ensuring students have the support they need to be successful. Specific topics to be discussed include the following:(1) Understanding the solicitation requirements and common proposal mistakes;(2) Scholar recruitment and data-driven approaches for selection;(3) Cohort building including design of cohort-based activities for students from different majors or class years and strategies for integrating new students into an existing cohort; and (4) Remediation strategies including proactive interventions and peer support. The session leaders will introduce each topic; participants will then be invited to join a breakout group discussion of one of the topics. Lastly, participants will be invited to continue discussing S-STEM after SIGCSE by joining a Slack workspace dedicated to S-STEM best practices and lessons.
