President Obama announced in April 2013 that the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) would launch a STEM AmeriCorps initiative to build student interest in STEM. A RFA is currently being prepared to be released in the late fall of 2013. This project will engage in quick response research to identify an evaluation and research agenda that can begin to inform the program launch. Thus, the timeframe for informing the initial stages of STEM AmeriCorps is relatively short, and the creation of an evaluation and research agenda is very timely.The products from the RAPID proposal are: (1) a review of the evaluation and research literature on the use of volunteers and/or mentors to build students' interest in STEM; (2) to convene a workshop to identify evaluation and research priorities to guide the initiative; and (3) a summary evaluation agenda that identifies promising directions along with the strength of evidence around key issues.

奥巴马总统在2013年4月宣布，国家和社区服务公司（CNCS）将启动一个STEM美国军团倡议，以培养学生对STEM的兴趣。 目前正在准备一份外地资产安排，将于2013年秋末发布。 该项目将进行快速反应研究，以确定一个评估和研究议程，可以开始通知计划的启动。因此，为STEM美国军团的初始阶段提供信息的时间相对较短，制定评估和研究议程非常及时，RAPID提案的成果是：（1）审查关于利用志愿者和/或导师培养学生对STEM兴趣的评估和研究文献;（2）召开一次讲习班，确定评价和研究的优先事项，以指导该倡议;（3）简要评价议程，确定有希望的方向，沿着围绕关键问题的证据。
