2. 2 Why Naval STEM? >50% of DoN’s current S&T workforce will be retirement eligible by 2020 Reductions in the STEM talent base will negatively impact DoN’s technological superiority DoN must rely on U.S. citizens for classified technical work China US Japan S Korea UK First university degrees in natural sciences and engineering, selected countries We must grow our future STEM leaders Joseph.cohn@navy.mil

3. 3 Strategic Themes Diversity Engage more under-represented populations Best Practices Partner with nationally recognized, best practice organizations, universities, and industry Collaboration Support the valuable implementation role of SYSCOMS and local organizations; leverage resources for maximum impact Naval Relevance Ensure programs are relevant to the Naval services; especially efforts supported with non-Navy funds Metrics Ensure that appropriate and consistent metrics, which assess both progress and impact, are in place across the Naval STEM Portfolio Go Viral Invest in programs and social networking tools that have the potential for rapid growth and geographic expansion

4. 4 STEM Roadmap Meeting SECNAV Goals Naval STEM Strategy Released – June 2011 Double investment in STEM by 2015 Focus on high-engagement, long duration programs Focus on expanding participation of underrepresented populations Integrate Naval Relevance / Needs into programs Develop simple, practical and meaningful metrics

6. 6 www.STEM2Stern.org Data for all Navy STEM programs collected in a single, centralized location On-line database active since 2009 Capture all data in single location Stakeholders update program details regularly Annual data calls for program information and participant demographics Creates Navy-relevant STEM community on-line to share best practices and success stories

7. 7 Help Us Achieve Our Future  ONR Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) 13-007 requests innovative ideas to extend and enhance ONR’s current STEM portfolio to: –Inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers, including women and persons from populations under-represented in STEM. –Engage students in STEM-related hands-on learning activities using Naval- relevant content. –Educate students to be well prepared for employment in STEM disciplines in the Navy or in supporting organizations  Successful proposals will: –Provide “game changing” solutions –Include active participation by DoN personnel, and/or collaborations with DoN Activities, Commands, or Labs –Contain a strategy for self – sufficiency Joseph.cohn@navy.mil “Efforts that emphasize developing and implementing new techniques, methodologies or technologies and making these available to large numbers of users/practitioners are highly encouraged. Efforts that focus on significantly scaling proven models and approaches and adding Naval relevant content and participation also are highly encouraged.”

10. 10 The Navy’s Vision “…The need is clear – large numbers of Naval STEM professionals will be retiring over the next few years, and fewer American students are graduating with the preparation and interest needed to pursue STEM careers... ” – SECNAV 2011 Joseph.cohn@navy.mil
