Abstract: Fostering the growth of a globally competitive and diverse research workforce and advancing the scientific and innovation skills of the Nation is a strategic objective of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The Nation’s global competitiveness depends critically on the readiness of the Nation’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce and NSF seeks to continue to invest in programs that directly advance this workforce. As part of this effort, NSF invests in a number of graduate student preparedness activities to ensure they PO 00000 Frm 00101 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 are well-prepared for the 21st century STEM Workforce and a supplemental funding opportunity is available to provide support for graduate students through non-academic research internships (INTERN Program) in any sector of the U.S. economy. The goal of the INTERN program is three-fold: 1. To provide graduate students with the opportunity to augment their research assistantships with nonacademic research internship activities and training opportunities that will complement their academic research training; 2. To allow graduate students to pursue activities aimed at acquiring professional development experience that will enhance their preparation for multiple career pathways after graduation; and 3. To encourage the participation of graduate students from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented and underserved in the STEM enterprise: women, persons with disabilities, African Americans/Blacks, Hispanic Americans, American Indian, and Alaska Natives. Since 2017, the NSF’s INTERN program has expanded with supports from other federal agency partners; as of March 2024, NSF has six (6) INTERN funding opportunities providing participants with direct access in exploring career pathways across various federal agencies and/or government laboratories: • Non-Academic Research Internships for Graduate Students (INTERN) Supplemental Funding Opportunity (NSF 21–013) • Research Internships for Graduate Students at Air Force Research Laboratory (NSF–AFRL INTERN) Supplemental Funding Opportunity (NSF 21–029) • Non-Academic Research Internships for Graduate Students in Geothermal Energy Supplemental Funding Opportunity (Geothermal INTERN) (NSF 23–024) • Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) Opportunity for Graduate Students Supplemental Funding to Link Geosciences and Human Health (GeoHealth INTERN) (NSF 23–112) • Graduate Research Internships in Forensic Science and Criminal Justice Contexts (NSF–NIJ INTERN) Supplemental Funding Opportunity (NSF 23–150) • Research Internships for Graduate Students at U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory and Ground Vehicle Systems Center E:\FR\FM\10SEN1.SGM 10SEN1
