Auburn University, Alabama State University, Tuskegee University and Vanderbilt University will lead this Design and Development Launch Pilot to form the SouthEast Alliance for Persons with Disabilities in STEM (SEAPD-STEM), eventually creating a network of 21 universities and colleges, as well as additional community colleges and high schools, in the southeastern U.S. and Washington, DC. This project was created in response to the Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) program solicitation (NSF 16-544). The INCLUDES program is a comprehensive national initiative designed to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) discoveries and innovations focused on NSF's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and broadening participation in these fields. The INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilots represent bold, innovative ways for solving a broadening participation challenge in STEM. The full participation of all of America's STEM talent is critical to the advancement of science and engineering for national security, health and prosperity. Our nation is advancing knowledge and practices to address the STEM education practices for recruiting, better educating, retaining and graduating STEM secondary and postsecondary students with disabilities (SWDs) at our nation's high schools, colleges and universities. However SWDs historically underperform in STEM at the secondary and postsecondary levels. This project, NSF INCLUDES: SEAPD-STEM, has the potential to significantly advance a collaborative approach by a group of organizations to improve the success of SWDs in STEM disciplines.The project builds on the existing Alabama Alliance for Students with Disabilities in STEM (AASD-STEM), a NSF-funded model, and includes a plan to form a larger regional alliance focused on training STEM SWDs across the academic pathway from high school through postdoctoral training and entry into faculty positions. The collaboration addresses five goals: (1) To increase the quality and quantity of SWDs completing associate, undergraduate, and graduate degrees in STEM disciplines and entering the STEM workforce, (2) To increase the quality and quantity of post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty with disabilities in STEM fields, (3) To improve academic performance of students with disabilities in secondary level science and mathematics courses, (4) To enhance communication and collaboration among post-secondary institutions in addressing the education of SWDs in STEM disciplines, and (5) To assess project activities to understand what works to support the matriculation and retention of STEM SWDs in science followed by broad dissemination through workshops, conference presentations, webinars, and peer-reviewed publications. The team proposes the following project activities in the pilot: (1) Implementing a Bridge Model at 13 partner institutions, including Alabama State University, Auburn University, Auburn University Montgomery, Gallaudet University, Jackson State University, Middle Tennessee State University, Southern Union State Community College, Troy University, Tuskegee University, the University of Alabama Birmingham, the University of Tennessee, the University of West Georgia and Xavier University of Louisiana (2) Implementing SEAPD-STEM training workshops, (3) Implementing NSF INCLUDES Alliances planning workshops in each participating state, at Kennesaw State University, Tougaloo College, the University of Alabama in Hunstville, Vanderbilt University and Xavier University of Louisiana, (4) Gathering enrollment, retention, and graduation baseline data for STEM SWDs by race, ethnicity, and gender at 21 colleges and universities institutions, (5) Identifying high schools and school districts for each of the participating institutions for outreach activities, (6) Adding at least one community college to partner with SEAPD-STEM college or university, (7) Engaging additional partners including national and local labs, non-profits, federal agencies, industry, foundations, and state governments for additional funding and/or internships for participating SEAPD-STEM students. The project team will implement a plan to scale approaches and develop an alliance of institutions to maximize potential project outcomes now and in the future.

奥本大学，阿拉巴马州立大学，塔斯基吉大学和范德比尔特大学将领导这项设计与发展飞行员，以组成STEM（SEAPD-STEM）残疾人（SEAPD-STEM）的东南联盟，最终建立了21个大学和学院的网络，以及美国东南部美国东南部和华盛顿特区的其他社区和高中。该项目的创建是为了响应整个工程和科学领域人数不足的发现者（NSF Incluber）计划招标的学习者的包容（NSF 16-544）。该计划是一项全面的国家倡议，旨在提高美国在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的发现和创新方面的领导，重点是NSF对多样性，包容性的承诺以及扩大参与这些领域的承诺。 其中包括设计和开发发射飞行员代表了解决STEM中扩大参与挑战的大胆，创新的方式。 美国所有STEM人才的全部参与对于在国家安全，健康和繁荣方面的发展至关重要。 我们的国家正在促进知识和实践，以解决我们国家高中，学院和大学的招聘，更好地教育，保留和毕业的STEM中学和中学后学生（SWD）（SWDS）。但是，SWDS历史上的STEM表现不佳，在中学和中学后级别。 该项目NSF包括：SEAPD-STEM，有可能显着提高一组组织的协作方法，以改善SWD在STEM学科中的成功。该项目建立在现有的Alabama Alabama Alliance STEM中的残疾学生（AASD-STEM）（AASD-STEM）的现有阿拉巴马州联盟（AASD-STEM），由NSF资助的模型中培训的计划，并包括一项培训STEM SEW的计划，并包括培训STEM SEW的培训计划，并培训了一项计划，并培训了一项培训的计划，并包括一项培训的计划，并包括一项培训的计划，并包括一项培训的计划，并包括一项培训的计划，并包括一项培训的计划，并包括一项培训的计划，并包括一项培训的计划，并包括一项培训的计划。进入教师职位。该协作解决了五个目标：（1）提高SWD的质量和数量完成的SWD，本科和研究生学位并进入STEM学科并进入STEM劳动力，（2）提高专业后家伙的质量和质量和数量大专院校在解决SWD中的SWD教育方面的沟通和协作，以及（5）评估项目活动，以了解哪些有效的作用，以支持STEM SWD在科学中的入学和保留，然后通过研讨会，会议演讲，Webiners，Webinars，Peer-Resper-Resper-Review-Respected出版物进行广泛的传播。 该团队在试点中提出了以下项目活动：（1）在13个合作伙伴机构中实施桥梁模型，包括阿拉巴马州立大学，奥本大学，奥本大学蒙哥马利大学，加洛德大学，加洛德大学，杰克逊州立大学，田纳西州立大学，田纳西州立大学，南部联盟州立大学，南部联盟社区，特洛伊大学，特斯基格大学，塔斯基格大学，塔斯基大学，阿拉巴马大学，吉尔明马大学，埃格尔姆大学，泰诺斯大学，泰诺斯大学，纽约大学，纽约大学， Louisiana (2) Implementing SEAPD-STEM training workshops, (3) Implementing NSF INCLUDES Alliances planning workshops in each participating state, at Kennesaw State University, Tougaloo College, the University of Alabama in Hunstville, Vanderbilt University and Xavier University of Louisiana, (4) Gathering enrollment, retention, and graduation baseline data for STEM SWDs by race, ethnicity, and gender at 21 colleges and大学机构，（5）为每个参与机构的外展活动确定高中和学区，（6）至少添加一所社区学院与SEAPD-STEM学院或大学合作，（7）与其他合作伙伴合作，包括国家和地方实验室，非营利组织，非营利组织，联邦机构，工业机构，基金会，州以及州政府以及额外的SEAPS学生参加活​​动，以供额外的学生参与活动。项目团队将实施一项计划，以扩展方法并建立一个机构联盟，以最大程度地提高潜在的项目成果。
