pThe National Science Foundations' Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program has supported many U.S. community colleges to collaborate with industry in developing educational programs for the nation's skilled technical workforce. This project aims to broaden the diversity of institutions supported by the ATE program. Specifically, the project aims to catalyze submissions of ATE proposals from 45 two-year institutions that have not previously or not recently received ATE funding. The project will mentor and support the colleges to generate ideas for projects and to develop the infrastructure, knowledge, and expertise that are needed to submit high-quality proposals to ATE and to other NSF funding programs. By providing access to well-paying careers as skilled technicians, growth of community college STEM programs can help increase social mobility, as well as advance diversity and inclusion in the nation's STEM enterprise./p pThis project aims to encourage the participating community and technical colleges to submit proposals to the ATE program, as a source of funding to innovate and grow STEM programs in advanced technological areas. In this effort, the project will engage the college Presidents and Boards of Trustees, to leverage their influence on the efforts to pursue ATE funding. The project will support capacity building at each participating college, assisting the college to develop the infrastructure needed to submit proposals to NSF and to manage NSF awards. The project team will work with local faculty and staff to help them identify growth opportunities within their institutions and region, and to prepare proposals to support these opportunities. Through its activities, the project team expects to support innovation and growth in technology areas that might otherwise be neglected, thus supporting existing and emerging industry needs for a skilled technical workforce. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the nation's economy./p pThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria./p

p国家科学基金会的先进技术教育（ATE）计划支持许多美国社区学院与工业界合作，为国家熟练的技术劳动力开发教育计划。 该项目旨在扩大ATE计划支持的机构的多样性。 具体而言，该项目旨在促进45个两年制机构提交ATE提案，这些机构以前或最近没有收到ATE资助。 该项目将指导和支持学院为项目产生想法，并开发向ATE和其他NSF资助计划提交高质量提案所需的基础设施，知识和专业知识。通过提供作为熟练技术人员的高薪职业，社区学院STEM项目的增长可以帮助提高社会流动性，并促进国家STEM企业的多样性和包容性。p p该项目旨在鼓励参与的社区和技术学院向ATE计划提交提案，作为在先进技术领域创新和发展STEM计划的资金来源。在这项工作中，该项目将参与大学校长和董事会，利用他们的影响力，努力追求ATE资金。 该项目将支持每个参与学院的能力建设，协助学院开发向NSF提交提案和管理NSF奖项所需的基础设施。项目团队将与当地教职员工合作，帮助他们确定机构和地区内的增长机会，并准备支持这些机会的建议。 项目小组希望通过其活动，支持可能被忽视的技术领域的创新和增长，从而支持现有和新兴行业对熟练技术劳动力的需求。该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划侧重于推动国家经济的先进技术领域的技术人员教育。p p该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。/ p
