NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) will be holding a community workshop in October 2022 with the goal of co-creating the NASA SMD Bridge Program. The NASA SMD Bridge Program is a new initiative to improve diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within the NASA workforce and within the U.S. science and engineering communities. The program aims to increase engagement and partnering between NASA Centers and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), Community Colleges, and other PhD-granting Universities. The current program design focus is on paid research and engineering student positions at participating institutions to support the transition from science and engineering undergraduate studies into graduate schools and employment by NASA or the private aerospace industry.
The NASA SMD Bridge Program Workshop will be fully virtual and is scheduled to take place from October 17-22, 2022. For more information, see the workshop website and frequently asked questions (FAQ) website. Please submit an indication of interest through July 25, 2022, to attend the workshop here. Registration, which is free, will be available shortly thereafter.
Questions about SMD Bridge Program Workshop may be addressed to Dr. Padi Boyd, SMD Bridge Program Director, at patricia.t.boyd@nasa.gov. Recipients of this invitation to pre-register may share it widely to members of your communities. Any and all members of the U.S. STEM or STEM education communities are welcome to express interest to attend and participate.
