Funded by: The National Science Foundation, Award Number: 1027418, Creating a Web Presence for the I3 Track.
The conference was designed to capture and distill best practices and lessons learned from institutions that have demonstrated capacity to create and sustain innovative programs, and offer participants time to learn about those best practices, network with others, and explore future funding opportunities. Collectively, National Science Foundation I3 projects have developed programs that have influenced the student STEM experience, broadened participation, and addressed critical junctures. This conference provided an opportunity to share innovations that have had an impact and have been sustained. In addition to I3 projects, the conference also provided an opportunity to hear from other exemplary programs across the country.
