THE PURPOSE OF THIS MODIFICATION IS TO INCREMENTALLY FUND THE SUBJECT COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT. THIS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT IS MODIFIED AS FOLLOWS: 1

AAAS-NSF S-STEM RESOURCE & EVALUATION CENTER -THE VISION OF NSF?S SCHOLARSHIPS IN STEM (S-STEM) PROGRAM IS THAT ALL AMERICANS, REGARDLESS OF ECONOMIC STATUS, MAY PURSUE A STEM DEGREE AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE INNOVATION ECONOMY. TO THAT END, THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE (AAAS) AND ITS PARTNERS THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH (AIR), QUALITY EDUCATION FOR MINORITIES (QEM), AND MN ASSOCIATES ARE LAUNCHING THE AAAS-NSF S-STEM RESOURCE AND EVALUATION CENTER (REC), WHICH WILL FOSTER A NETWORK OF S-STEM STAKEHOLDERS TO GENERATE AND DISSEMINATE NEW KNOWLEDGE, SUCCESSFUL PRACTICES, AND EFFECTIVE DESIGN PRINCIPLES ARISING FROM NSF S-STEM PROJECTS ACROSS THE NATION. AMONG OTHER IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES, THE REC WILL CONVENE AN ANNUAL MEETING OF AT LEAST 1,000 S-STEM SCHOLARS TO BUILD A COMMUNITY FOR THE PROGRAM'S MAIN BENEFICIARIES: TALENTED LOW-INCOME STEM STUDENTS. THIS SCHOLAR MEETING AND THE LARGER CENTER, WILL ENGAGE A NUMBER OF INDUSTRY PARTNERS, WHICH WILL SUPPORT SCHOLARS' ABILITY TO SUCCEED IN THEIR FUTURE STEM CAREERS. IN ADDITION, THE CENTER WILL CURATE AND DISSEMINATE KNOWLEDGE, PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, AND SHARE RESOURCES BOTH WITHIN THE S-STEM NETWORK AND TO THE WIDER COMMUNITY OF STEM EDUCATORS AND PROFESSIONALS INVESTED IN SUPPORTING THE SUCCESS OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS. THE PROPOSED REC WILL ALSO PRODUCE TWO PUBLIC NATIONAL REPORTS EXAMINING THE S-STEM PROGRAM'S NATIONAL IMPACT ON THE DOMESTIC WORKFORCE, INSTITUTIONAL APPROACHES TO LOW-INCOME STUDENT SUCCESS, AND THE INDIVIDUAL SCHOLARS. THE REC WILL BUILD THE CAPACITY OF S-STEM AWARDEES BY SHARING EFFECTIVE, REPLICABLE STRATEGIES FOR SUPPORTING S-STEM SCHOLARS AND WILL ALSO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF S-STEM PROJECTS BY PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO PROJECT EVALUATORS. THIS CENTER WILL CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE S-STEM SCHOLARS TO COME TOGETHER TO EXPAND THEIR ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL NETWORK, LEARN ABOUT ACADEMIC AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES, AND INCREASE THEIR ABILITY TO BECOME PROFICIENT MEMBERS OF THE STEM WORKFORCE. THE REC WILL GROUND THE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES WITHIN YOSSO?S THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF COMMUNITY CULTURAL WEALTH WHICH CONSIDERS CULTURAL CAPITAL IN COLLEGE FROM AN ASSET APPROACH. YOSSO?S MODEL EXPLORES THE TALENTS, STRENGTHS, AND EXPERIENCES THAT STUDENTS OFTEN LEVERAGE WITHIN THE COLLEGE ENVIRONMENT AND IS BROADLY GENERALIZABLE. WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK, THE CENTER WILL SPECIFICALLY ATTEND TO THE UNIQUE STRENGTHS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF S-STEM SCHOLARS SPECIFICALLY AND LOW-INCOME STUDENTS MORE BROADLY. ADVANCING OUR KNOWLEDGE OF EVIDENCE-BASED BEST PRACTICES FOR RECRUITING, RETAINING, MENTORING, AND SUPPORTING HIGH-ACHIEVING SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) STUDENTS FROM LOW-INCOME BACKGROUNDS IS OF STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE FOR THE NATION.

A COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP FOR EMERGING LEADERS IN SCIENCE AND SOCIETY; BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA - JAUNUARY 14-18, 2016

CONFERENCE: SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IN THE COURTS: THE SCIENCES' ROLE IN THE PROMOTION OF JUSTICE -IN 1923, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURT RULED THAT JUDGES HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ASSESS THE RELIABILITY OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL EVIDENCE AND EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY (FRYE V. UNITED STATES), ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR JUDGES TO DETERMINE WHAT EVIDENCE AND WHOSE TESTIMONY WILL BE PRESENTED AT TRIAL OR PROVIDED TO THE JURY FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION. SINCE THIS RULING, THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES AND CONGRESS HAVE EXPANDED UPON AND ARTICULATED FURTHER GUIDANCE FOR THIS GATEKEEPING FUNCTION (THE FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE, 1975; DAUBERT V. MERRELL DOW PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., 1993; GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. V. JOINER, 1997; AND KUMHO TIRE CO. V. CARMICHAEL, 1999). HOWEVER, THE APPLICATIONS OF THE FRYE AND DAUBERT STANDARDS REMAIN INCONSISTENT ACROSS BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS, ALLOWING FOR UNRELIABLE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY TO ENTER TRIALS, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF UNJUST OUTCOMES, SUCH AS WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS, AS WELL AS OTHER VIOLATIONS OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. SOME EXPERTS SUGGEST THAT THE ADOPTION OF THE DAUBERT STANDARD HAS ALSO CONSTRAINED ACCESS TO THE JUSTICE SYSTEM FOR LITIGANTS FROM HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS, SPECIFICALLY AFRICAN AMERICANS. THIS CONFERENCE WILL REFLECT UPON THE CURRENT BODY OF RESEARCH REGARDING THE COURTS? APPLICATION OF ADMISSIBILITY STANDARDS AND EXPLORE THE POTENTIAL CHALLENGES TO THESE STANDARDS ARISING FROM QUICKLY DEVELOPING SCIENTIFIC FIELDS SUCH AS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, CLIMATE SCIENCE, STATISTICAL MODELING, AND ADVANCES IN FORENSIC SCIENCE. EVENT SPEAKERS AND ATTENDEES WILL ASSESS CURRENT PRACTICES AND IDENTIFY PATHWAYS FOR IMPROVING THE USE OF CREDIBLE, TRUSTWORTHY SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE AND EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY BY FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS GOING FORWARD. THE CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON, DC, WILL BE AN EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A STRATEGICALLY IDENTIFIED AND DIVERSE GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM ACROSS RESEARCH DISCIPLINES, SOCIETAL SECTORS, AND GEOGRAPHY, TO SHARE AND DISCUSS RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE AND ITS IMPACTS ON SOCIETY AT LARGE. THE EVENT WILL BRING TOGETHER MEMBERS OF BOTH THE SCIENTIFIC AND LEGAL COMMUNITIES, WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, ACADEMICS, AND REPRESENTATIVES OF NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGOS) DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE UNITED STATES JUSTICE SYSTEM. THE RESEARCH THAT WILL BE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED IN THE CONFERENCE, AND THE NEEDS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH THAT WILL BE IDENTIFIED, ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO IMPROVING THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM?S ACCURATE AND EFFECTIVE USE OF SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE AND TO BUILDING PUBLIC TRUST IN THE JUDICIARY. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.
