AbstractIn partnership with the Science.gov Alliance, the principal investigator, Dr.William E. McHenry and the co-principal investigator Dr. John S. Colonias propose tocreate a web-based comprehensive one-stop science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) educational resource tool the Science Education Resource VirtualDiversity Center (SER Virtual Diversity Center). The SER Virtual Diversity Center willfeature: (1) STEM education programs by category of federal support; (2) promisingpractices and lessons learned from federal STEM education supporting agencies as well asfrom the institutions they support; (3) STEM-based educational resources for students andparents; and (4) a virtual electronic campus designed to assist institutions in sharingSTEM educational courses and degree programs using the internet.Merit. The SER Virtual Diversity Center will serve as the major STEM education contentportal for federal programs that target increasing participation from women,underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities in the STEM workforce andeventually serve as a tool for sharing information on all strategies designed to addressthe nation's STEM workforce needs. The SER Virtual Diversity Center will usetechnology-enabled processes to connect federal agencies with each other and with highereducation faculty and administrators; K-12 teachers, counselors, administrators; studentsand parents in order to achieve dramatic improvement in efficiency for those involved inincreasing minority participation in STEM -- especially federal agencies.Impact. As outlined in the BEST Report, the participation of American students in STEMfields must dramatically increase if America is to remain competitive in a global economy.With the American population becoming more diverse, students from groups that aretraditionally underrepresented in STEM fields must be encouraged to participate.Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions(HSIs), and Tribal Colleges have a record of unparalleled success with these students. TheNSF's HRD Programs, especially the Model Institutions for Excellence (MIE) and allianceprograms, are examples of the impact partnerships between the federal government andminority-serving institutions can have on increasing the capacity of those institutionsfor producing STEM professionals. Purposively, the SER Virtual Diversity Center willenable federal agency program officers to better access information across agency lines,coordinate science education initiatives, and connect agencies more directly with highereducation institutions and their faculty and school districts and their teachers,counselors, students, and parents to create STEM knowledge-based communities.The authors propose to create a one-stop SER Virtual Diversity Center through whichfederal agency program officers and others can view: (1) STEM education programs bycategory of federal support; (2) promising practices and lessons learned from federal STEMeducation supporting agencies as well as from the institutions they support; (3)STEM-based educational resources for students and parents; and (4) a virtual electroniccampus designed to assist institutions in sharing STEM educational courses and degreeprograms using the internet.

摘要与科学合作。 SER虚拟多样性中心WillFeature：（1）按联邦支持类别的STEM教育计划； （2）从联邦STEM教育支持机构中学到的有前途的实践和经验教训，以及从他们支持的机构中学到的； （3）基于STEM的学生和学者的教育资源； （4）虚拟电子校园旨在使用Internet.Merit协助机构共享教育课程和学位课程。 SER虚拟多样性中心将成为联邦计划的主要STEM教育内容，这些计划是针对妇女参与，代表性不足的少数群体以及在STEM劳动力中的残疾人的参与，并且实质上是分享有关旨在满足国家STEM劳动力需求的所有策略的工具的工具。 SER虚拟多样性中心将采用启用USETECHOLOGY的流程，以将联邦机构彼此联​​系，并与更高的教职员工和管理人员联系起来； K-12老师，辅导员，管理人员；学生和父母为了为少数参与STEM（尤其是联邦机构Impact）参与其中的人的效率急剧提高。正如最佳报告中概述的那样，如果美国要在全球经济中保持竞争力，美国学生参与干旱地区必须大幅度增加。随着美国人口变得越来越多样化，必须鼓励来自属于茎领域的群体的学生参与。这些学生的成功。 THENSF的人力资源管理计划，尤其是卓越模型机构（MIE）和AlliancePrograms，是联邦政府与占地服务机构之间伙伴关系的影响的例子，可以提高这些机构生产STEM专业人员的能力。 SER虚拟多样性中心将有目的地将联邦机构计划官员跨机构访问信息，协调科学教育计划，并更直接地将机构与高等教育机构及其教职区及其教职员工，学区及其学区及其教师，教师，辅导员，学生和父母联系起来，以创建基于STEM知识的社区。联邦支持的旁观者； （2）从联邦茎教育机构以及他们支持的机构中学到的有前途的做法和经验教训； （3）针对学生和父母的基于STEM的教育资源； （4）虚拟电子坎普斯旨在帮助机构使用Internet共享STEM教育课程和脱发图。
