The future competitiveness of the United States in an increasingly
interconnected global economy depends on the nation fostering a
workforce with strong capabilities and skills in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). STEM knowledge and
skills enable both individual opportunity and national
competitiveness, and the nation needs to develop ways of ensuring
access to high-quality education and training experiences for all
students at all levels and for all workers at all career stages.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) holds a primary
responsibility for overseeing the federal government's efforts to
foster the creation of a STEM-capable workforce. As part of its
efforts in this endeavor, NSF's Directorate on Education and Human
Resources asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine to convene a workshop that would contribute to NSF's
preparation of a theoretical and evidence-based STEM Workforce
Development R&D Core Framework. Participants discussed research
themes, identified gaps and emerging research opportunities, and
recommended refinements in the goals of the framework. This report
summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
