The National Science Foundation published NSF 21-033, “Advancing Quantum Education and Workforce Development” in December 2020. This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) encourages submission of proposals for projects that will motivate and prepare students for quantum industries of the future. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is interested in preparation of students for quantum information science and engineering (QISE) at all levels and in all settings, both formal and informal.

In accordance with NSF Important Notice 147: Research.gov Implementation Update issued in September 2020, NSF is taking proactive steps to incrementally move the preparation and submission of all proposals from FastLane to Research.gov.

The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research.

The webinar will bring together four leaders who will share promising practices in their sustained projects that help make STEM fields more welcoming and accessible to students with disabilities.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more important in everyday life, in business, and now in education. As we prepare for a future with AI, Digital Promise is hosting a series of three webinars to actively engage educators in how new technologies will shape education.
