Grant Overview
Ohio's STEM workforce development is critical to the state's economic future, with projections indicating a need for 140,000 new STEM professionals by 2025. However, underrepresented groups remain significantly underrepresented in these fields, comprising just 12% of Ohio's STEM workforce. This initiative aims to increase diversity in Ohio's STEM fields by providing scholarships to underrepresented students pursuing STEM degrees. Target outcomes include a 25% increase in underrepresented students graduating with STEM degrees and a 30% increase in STEM industry employment among program participants. Ohio's major industries, including manufacturing and biosciences, rely heavily on a diverse STEM workforce to remain competitive. The state's urban centers, such as Columbus and Cleveland, are hubs for STEM innovation, but rural areas also require targeted support to develop their STEM capacity. Why STEM Diversity Matters in Ohio: A diverse STEM workforce drives innovation and economic growth in Ohio. By supporting underrepresented students, we can ensure that Ohio remains competitive in the global economy. Ohio's STEM ecosystem, which includes partnerships between industry, academia, and government, is well-positioned to drive positive change. Unlike Michigan, Ohio's funding priorities focus on supporting statewide STEM initiatives that address industry-specific needs. Measuring Success in Ohio's STEM Ecosystem: Funding will support programs that demonstrate measurable outcomes in increasing STEM diversity and promoting industry partnerships. Applicants must show a clear understanding of Ohio's STEM workforce needs and a plan for achieving the state's target outcomes. Ohio's unique blend of urban and rural areas requires tailored approaches to STEM education and workforce development.
