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和发展飞行员，以组成STEM（SEAPD-STEM）残疾人的东南联盟，最终建立了21个大学和学院的网络，以及美国东南部和华盛顿特区的其他社区大学和高中。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。该项目基于现有的阿拉巴马州STEM中的阿拉巴马州残疾学生（AASD）（AASD）（AASD）建立。 - STEM）是一个由NSF资助的模型，其中包括一个计划，旨在建立一个更大的区域联盟，专注于从高中到博士后培训和进入教职员工职位的整个学术途径的训练SWD。该协作解决了五个目标：（1）提高STEM学科中的SWD，本科和研究生学位并进入STEM劳动力的质量和数量，（2）提高博士后研究员的质量和数量STEM领域中残疾的教师，（3）改善二级科学和数学课程中残疾学生的学习成绩，（4），以加强专上机构之间在STEM学科中的SWD和SWD教育的沟通和协作（5）评估项目活动，以了解哪些有效的工作来支持STEM SWD在科学中的入学和保留，然后通过研讨会，会议演讲，网络研讨会和经过同行评审的出版物进行广泛的传播。 该小组在飞行员中提出以下项目活动：（1）在13个合作机构，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，杰克逊州立大学，田纳西州中部大学，南部联盟州立大学，在包括阿拉巴马州立大学，奥本大学，奥本大学蒙哥马利，蒙哥马利大学，南部联盟州杰克逊州立大学，南部联盟州，包括阿拉巴马州立大学，蒙哥马利大学，南部联盟州杰克逊大学蒙哥马利大学，在其中实施桥梁模型。社区学院，特洛伊大学，塔斯基吉大学，阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学，田纳西大学，西乔治亚大学和路易斯安那州Xavier大学（2）实施SEAPD-STEM培训研讨会，（3）每个参与州，位于肯尼索州立大学，据塔加洛学院，阿拉巴马大学，汉斯特维尔大学，范德比尔特大学和路易斯安那州Xavier大学（4）收集录取，保留和毕业毕业生的基线数据，包括种族，种族，性别和性别21个学院机构，（5）为每个参与机构进行外展活动确定高中和学区，（6）添加至少一所社区大学与Seapd-STEM College合作，（7）参与其他合作伙伴包括国家和地方实验室，非营利组织，联邦机构，行业，基金会和州政府，以供参与的SEAPD-STEM学生提供额外的资金和/或实习。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。
