Efforts to Broaden Participation (ERC Diversity Policy Requirements) Operate with strategic plans that include goals, milestones, actions, and impacts to increase their diversity at all levels so as to exceed national engineering-wide averages; Form sustained partnerships with affiliated deans and department chairs to enable this enhancement; Develop outreach connections with predominantly female and underrepresented-minority institutions as core or affiliate partners; Develop outreach connections with at least one LSAMP and one or more AGEP, TCUP, CREST, etc. (long-term REUs and graduate bridge fellowships); and Operate a diversity-oriented Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program as well as a pre-college program focused on diversity involving teachers and students (e.g. Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program)

Efforts To Broaden Participation (SBIR Outreach Connections) SBIR funded Phase IIA supplements connecting grantees with CREST (predominantly minority research institutions). Awards are co-funded by SBIR/EHR. Recent SBIR participation at the EHR/HRD Annual Grantees meeting will ensure future SBIR/EHR collaborations. SBIR contractor received more funding in FY-05 to promote and assist more minority small businesses participate in NSF sponsored National SBIR conferences.
