SYNOPSIS
The Model Institutes for Excellence program is a three-phase program. In the first two phases NSF funded four institutions to develop and refine models for increasing graduates from underrepresented groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The third phase is to provide funding for the institutionalization of these models. This competition is restricted to the NSF-funded MIE institutions Metropolitana Universidad, Oglala Lakota College, University of Texas at El Paso, and Xavier University in New Orleans. Proposals for the third phase are limited to three years and a total of $2.5 million/institution. Proposals should discuss: - A description of the model and the metrics used to assess its success.
- A description of the success of the model in producing STEM graduates
- An explanation of how the model will be institutionalized that clearly describes how NSF funds will be replaced
- A description of how the model can be sustained. Evidence for sustainability could be partnerships with programs at the institution with similar goals or alignment with long-term strategic investments.
