About this grant
This grant to the STEM Next Opportunity Fund will support the out-of-school time and STEM fellowship network. The fellowships are a public-private partnership initiative geared toward advancing cross-agency partnerships to expand access to high-quality afterschool, summer learning and informal STEM learning for youth and families. This initiative will work to: 1) strengthen collaboration between the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies in the areas of afterschool and informal STEM learning; 2) advance afterschool and STEM learning in the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program; and 3) collaborate with leading researchers to identify priorities, new tools, strategies and programs that improve afterschool and STEM learning opportunities.
