Experiential Learning for Emerging and Novel Technologies (ExLENT) (Opportunity Kick-off)
Research Development Opportunity Kick-off events are introductions to specific funding opportunities that provide an overview of requirements, advice and lessons learned from experienced faculty, and a chance to network with other ASU faculty.
Topic: Experiential Learning for Emerging and Novel Technologies (ExLENT) (Opportunity Kick-off)
Through the ExLENT program, “the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) and the newly established Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP) seek to support experiential learning opportunities for individuals from diverse professional and educational backgrounds that will increase access to, and interest in, career pathways in emerging technology fields (e.g., advanced manufacturing, advanced wireless, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum information science, semiconductors, and microelectronics).”
“Key goals of the program are to (1) expand access to career-enhancing experiential learning opportunities for a broader, more diverse population, including adult learners interested in re-skilling and/or upskilling (e.g., those who face or who have faced significant barriers to accessing a formal STEM education); (2) promote cross sector partnerships between organizations in emerging technology fields and those with expertise in workforce development; and (3) develop a workforce aligned with regional economies based on emerging technologies across the Nation, in alignment with the mission of the TIP Directorate.”
Participating programs in STEM Education (EDU) and Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP) will accept ExLENT proposals. Deadline for submission is March 2, 2023 (Pivots and Beginning) and September 14, 2023 (all tracks). Awards are $1M over three years.
