The "Building an Alliance for New Careers in STEM (KC-BANCS): A Collaborative Model for the Inclusion of Youth and Veterans with Disabilities" is a project that will increase the participation and success of high school and college students with disabilities within the Kansas City region in STEM education pathways. The result will be an increase in veterans and other students who complete associate and undergraduate degrees and ultimately enter the STEM workforce. The KC-BANKS Alliance's lead institution, the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), will partner with two associate degree granting institutions: Metropolitan Community College (MCC) and Kansas City Kansas CC (KCCC). The project will work with Project Lead the Way and Project UpLink to access secondary students from 42 Kansas City high schools. Additionally, collaborations with Veterans Upward Bound and local Veteran Services Offices will provide partnering for veteran student recruitment. The following objectives will be addressed by the KC-BANCS Alliance:1) To increase the number of students and veterans with disabilities who enter STEM post-secondary academic programs (pre-college pipeline experiences);2) To increase the number of students and veterans with disabilities who complete two-year and four year degrees in STEM fields (support and retention in post-secondary experiences);3) To increase the number of STEM students with disabilities who enter the workforce in STEM related careers; and 4) To develop an Alliance Partnership Model that engages STEM educators, community organizations, and youth/veterans with disabilities as equal partners and collaborators.An evaluation team from the Resource Development Institute (RDI) will work with the KC-BANCS Alliance team to conduct formative and summative evaluation. During the initial phase of the project the RDI team will work with KC-BANKS and contact people at UMKC and each of the partnering organizations to identify key personnel who can supply data on students with disabilities currently attending the educational institutions. RDI evaluators will work with these designated personnel to establish procedures by which each institution will supply disaggregated baseline data on the number of students with disabilities to include type of disability, race/ethnicity, gender, and STEM major for those students with disabilities; as well as data on those completing STEM associate, baccalaureate and graduate degrees.

“建立STEM新职业联盟：残疾青年和退伍军人融入的合作模式”是一个项目，将增加堪萨斯城地区残疾高中生和大学生在STEM教育途径中的参与和成功。其结果将是增加退伍军人和其他学生谁完成副学士和本科学位，并最终进入干劳动力。 KC-BANKS联盟的牵头机构密苏里大学堪萨斯市分校（UMKC）将与两所副学士学位授予机构合作：大都会社区学院（MCC）和堪萨斯城堪萨斯CC（KCCC）。 该项目将与“带路项目”和“上行项目”合作，访问来自42所堪萨斯城高中的中学生。 此外，与Veterans Upward Bound和当地退伍军人服务办公室的合作将为退伍军人学生招聘提供合作伙伴关系。 KC-BANCS联盟将实现以下目标：1）增加进入STEM中学后学术课程的残疾学生和退伍军人的数量（大学预科课程经验）;2）增加在STEM领域完成两年制和四年制学位的残疾学生和退伍军人的数量（支持和保留中学后的经验）; 3）增加STEM残疾学生进入STEM相关职业的人数;以及4）制定一个联盟伙伴关系模式，让STEM教育工作者，社区组织，和残疾青年/退伍军人作为平等的伙伴和合作者。来自资源开发研究所（RDI）的评估小组将与KC-BANCS联盟团队合作，进行形成性和总结性评估。在项目的初始阶段，RDI团队将与KC-BANKS合作，并与UMKC和每个合作组织的人员联系，以确定能够提供目前在教育机构就读的残疾学生数据的关键人员。 RDI评估人员将与这些指定人员合作，制定程序，使每个机构都能提供有关残疾学生人数的分类基线数据，包括残疾类型，种族/民族，性别和残疾学生的STEM专业;以及完成STEM副学士，学士学位和研究生学位的数据。
