Background Information: The
National Science Foundation (NSF)
plays a critical role in establishing U.S.
leadership in science and engineering
(S&E), creating innovations that drive
the nation’s economy and educating the
next generation of scientists and
engineers. The NSF 10 Big Ideas support
this role through ideas such as the
Future of Work at the Human
Technology Frontier, Harnessing the
Data Revolution, and others, that foster

interdisciplinary science and
engineering research and the requisite
interdisciplinary education and
workforce development.
A program that exemplified the
integration of interdisciplinary training
for undergraduates was the
Interdisciplinary Training for
Undergraduates in Biological and
Mathematical Sciences (UBM), a
program aimed to enhance
undergraduate education and training at
the intersection of the biological and
mathematical sciences to better prepare
undergraduate students to pursue
careers in fields that integrated the
mathematical and biological sciences
https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2008/
nsf08510/nsf08510.htm. Since the end
of the UBM program, there has been an
increasing amount of digital data that
necessitates education and training in
not just mathematics but also in
computer science. We note here, for
instance, the Data Science Corps
program, https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/
2021/nsf21523/nsf21523.htm, one of the
components of the HDR ecosystem
enabling education and workforce
development by building capacity for
harnessing the data revolution in the
service of science and society.
NSF is interested in developing a new
program that starts with the core of the
UBM program and expands into
computer science as well as well as
emerging areas in biology and
mathematics. This is in recognition of
the explosion of knowledge in
instrumentation, computational
abilities, information systems,
mathematical tools, and biological
systems from the nano to the macro
regimes. NSF is interested in input from
a variety of stakeholders on the
interdisciplinary areas proposed for this
program. We envision stakeholders to be
faculty from both 2-yr and 4-yr
institutions as well as industry, NGOs,
and others.
Response(s) to the question(s) below
should focus on effective models with
specific efforts in at least one of the
following:
• Multiple entry and exit points along
a career pathway.
• Use of technologies including
virtual to enhance training
• Cohort development in crossdisciplinary research and/or course
experiences.
• Workforce needs in converging
areas considering the breadth from the
skilled technical workforce to Ph.D.

Questions To Address
Respondents can answer any of the
questions #1–#8; responses to all
questions are not required.
1. What are the biggest needs and
challenges faced by institutions working
to develop interdisciplinary courses/
programs in the converging areas of
biology, mathematics, and computer
science?
2. What are the biggest needs and
challenges faced by industries in these
rapidly evolving and converging areas of
STEM?
3. What topics might be included in
an NSF program solicitation aimed at
supporting these rapidly evolving
converging areas?
4. Should a new program include the
opportunity for research experiences for
undergraduates in these converging
areas? If so, what areas might be
specifically targeted? Where (early,
later, throughout) should these
experiences be incorporated in a
student’s educational pathway and
why? Is there a place for industry-based
internships as well as institutional
research experiences?
5. What are effective ways to promote
interdisciplinary work within a broad
range of institutions and disciplinary
faculty? What might be challenges that
a solicitation might address?
6. Whether you are currently part of
a consortium-based model or would be
interested in participating in one,
describe the benefits and drawbacks of
such a partnership. What type of
consortium structure maximized the
creation of effective and lasting
relationships within distinct
disciplinary areas of institutions and
between institutions in regard to
promoting interdisciplinary STEM
education? What would the role of the
management entity look like, and what
partners would be involved?
7. What efforts might support STEM
participation by a diverse set of
students, especially those from groups
underrepresented in STEM, through the
creation of accessible, inclusive STEM
learning opportunities and promoting
STEM careers in these converging areas?
8. What are effective ways in
assessing program impact relative to
topics mentioned above?
Requirement: All qualified,
experienced, and capable sources are
welcome to respond to this RFI. Largescale and small-scale examples of
programs are of equal interest. Your
capabilities should cover any and all
areas of focus delineated above. There is
no target years of relevant experience
provided a program has evidence-based
effectiveness and proven results.
