*1) *The Howard Hughes Medical Institute's new *Inclusive Excellence: 2017
Undergraduate Science Education Grants* aims to address the
underrepresentation of persons from economically disadvantaged backgrounds
in the natural sciences (
http://www.hhmi.org/programs/undergraduate-science-education-grants). From
the Program Announcement:

The objective of this initiative is to increase institutional capacity for
inclusion of  students from all backgrounds in science. Institutions of
higher education that aspire to lead in the 21st century must effectively
engage all students, especially the increasing number of students who come
to college through  “nontraditional” pathways. Through this initiative,
HHMI will support colleges and  universities that commit to measurably
increasing their infrastructure, resources, and expertise to involve
undergraduate students in science, resulting in expanded access to
excellence for all students and especially those who belong to the “new
majority” in American higher education. Our long-term aim is for
successful  strategies pioneered by the grantee institutions to serve as
models to be adapted and adopted by other institutions.

Two important populations of the science education watershed are transfer
students, who complete portions of their introductory coursework at
community colleges or regional campuses, and first-generation students, who
are the first  in their family to attend college. Half of all of today’s
STEM baccalaureates and one-fifth of STEM PhDs attended community college
at some point in their  undergraduate education. Nearly one-fourth of all
undergraduates are first-generation students, and half of all
first-generation students begin in community college.  Ethnic “minorities,”
which will soon be the majority, and persons from economically
disadvantaged backgrounds are significantly overrepresented among transfer
and first-generation students.

Awards are $1,000,000 over 5 years. Letters of intent are due July 14, and
pre-proposals are due December 1. Institutions are limited to one
pre-proposal each.
