Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Kansas Women in STEM Education and Career Development
The Funding for Women in STEM Education and Career Development grant program prioritizes outcomes that address the unique challenges faced by women in Kansas. The primary target outcomes for this grant include increasing the number of women pursuing STEM education and careers, improving retention rates of women in STEM fields, and enhancing the overall STEM workforce in Kansas.
One of the key priorities is to support initiatives that promote STEM education among young girls and women in Kansas. This includes programs that provide mentorship, training, and resources to help them succeed in STEM fields. The Kansas State Department of Education's STEM initiative is a relevant state agency program that aligns with this goal. By supporting such initiatives, the grant aims to create a pipeline of talented women who can contribute to the state's STEM workforce.
Another priority outcome is to address the capacity constraints faced by organizations that support women in STEM in Kansas. Many rural areas in Kansas, such as those in the Frontier Region, lack access to resources and infrastructure that can support STEM education and career development. The grant prioritizes projects that can effectively reach and serve these underserved areas.
Measuring Success in Kansas
The success of the Funding for Women in STEM Education and Career Development grant program in Kansas will be measured by tracking key outcomes, including the number of women enrolled in STEM programs, the number of women entering the STEM workforce, and the retention rates of women in STEM fields. The grant program will also track the number of organizations and businesses that participate in STEM-related activities and the amount of funding leveraged from other sources.
To achieve these outcomes, the grant program will prioritize funding for projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the Kansas context and can effectively leverage state-specific resources and partnerships. For example, projects that partner with the Kansas Department of Commerce's workforce development initiatives or the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation (KTEC) are likely to be more effective in achieving the desired outcomes.
Applicants should be aware that the grant program is particularly interested in supporting projects that address the needs of women in STEM in rural areas of Kansas, where access to resources and opportunities may be limited. The grant program will also prioritize projects that demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, particularly in terms of supporting women from underrepresented groups in STEM fields, such as those from LGBTQ communities.
