This session will provide information about the NSF INCLUDES Program and the Workplace Equity for Persons with Disabilities in STEM and STEM Education solicitation. The NSF INCLUDES Program seeks to improve collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing the preparation, participation, and contributions of groups that have been historically excluded and/or under-served in the STEM enterprise. The Workplace Equity for Persons with Disabilities in STEM and STEM Education solicitation supports fundamental, applied, and translational research that advances knowledge and practice about diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible STEM and STEM education workplaces and postsecondary training environments for persons with disabilities.

15th Conference on Understanding Interventions 2023 

NSF INCLUDES and Workplace Equity for People with Disabilities in STEM and STEM Education (30 mins.)

### Welcome to the 2023 Understanding Interventions/NSF CREST Annual Conference
Welcome to our annual conference, a gathering where the knowledge of our scientific communities share what they have researched since we last met. If it is your first time attending, then thank you for stepping into our world! If you are a returning guest, then thank you for coming back! Whether you are attending for the first or the fourteenth, we treasure your trust in what we have to offer. We promise to make it worth your while.

As in years past, we have put together an energetic collection of seminars, deeper dives, speeches, posters, and workshops to whet your appetite for learning. 

We are delighted that you have chosen to attend the 2023 Annual Understanding Interventions (UI) Conference, in partnership with the NSF Centers for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) Program. 

### About the Conference 
This conference was established to facilitate dissemination and exchange of hypothesis-based research on interventions and initiatives that broaden participation in science and engineering research careers. The conference is designed to create a dialogue among behavioral/social science and education researchers, evaluators, and faculty in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields who participate in intervention programs. Workshops, sessions, and posters will communicate effective strategies from successful STEM intervention programs, present results from empirical research studies, and synthesize the translation of research findings into practice on STEM learning, undergraduate research, graduate education, and student retention.

Thank you again, and welcome!

Professional Development Strategies to Unleash the Highest Potential of Faculty, Postdoctoral Scholars, and Graduate Students in the MSI Environment

In this session, the PD will provide an overall description of the EEC NSF division and present some of the funding opportunities in Engineering Education, Broadening Participation, Engineering Workforce Development, and Engineering Research.

Engineering Education

**Description** 1. Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), which provides awards to strengthen STEM undergraduate education and research at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). 
 2. Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program), which supports projects that improve undergraduate STEM education and increase the rates of recruitment, retention and graduation of undergraduate STEM students at Hispanic-serving institutions.
 3. Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program, which assist universities and colleges in diversifying the nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce by increasing the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded to populations historically underrepresented in these disciplines.
