Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network, a non-profit organization, has been instrumental in serving as a catalyst to improve the education of under-represented groups, particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). As an agent for change, QEM continues to develop effective strategies for broadening STEM participation, and focuses on issues and barriers that impede underrepresented groups from receiving a high quality education. This project supports internship placements for students at the National Science Foundation as a mechanism to: increase students understanding of science policy; develop the potential of future STEM leaders; promote STEM participation, including students from low-income communities; and encourage advanced studies in STEM disciplines. This human capacity building endeavor will help train a diverse, engaged, and globally competitive STEM workforce prepared to meet future challenges through discovery and innovation.

少数群体优质教育网是一个非营利组织，在促进改善代表性不足群体的教育，特别是科学、技术、工程和数学教育方面发挥了重要作用。作为变革的推动者，QEM继续制定扩大STEM参与的有效战略，并专注于阻碍代表性不足的群体接受高质量教育的问题和障碍。该项目支持学生在国家科学基金会实习，作为一种机制：增加学生对科学政策的理解;开发未来STEM领导者的潜力;促进STEM参与，包括来自低收入社区的学生;并鼓励STEM学科的高级研究。 这一人力资源能力建设奋进将有助于培养一支多元化、参与度高、具有全球竞争力的STEM劳动力队伍，为通过发现和创新应对未来挑战做好准备。
