Grant Overview
Data Systems for Tracking Disability Inclusion in STEM in New York City
In New York City, the challenges around disability inclusion in STEM education are particularly pronounced due to the sheer scale and diversity of its educational institutions. The city's extensive network of schools and universities serves a vast population, yet many systems lack comprehensive data tracking mechanisms to measure disability inclusion. Research indicates that less than 20% of students with disabilities in New York City are engaged in STEM coursework, highlighting a critical gap that must be addressed.
This initiative targets New York City educational administrators, policy makers, and institutions aiming to streamline data collection processes related to disability inclusion in STEM education. Without accurate data, initiatives aimed at improving access for these students can lack direction and effectiveness. The need for robust data systems is underscored by the complexity and variety of disability accommodations required across the city's diverse school environments.
Successful applicants for this funding will need to demonstrate existing data-gathering infrastructures and outline a strategic plan to enhance their capabilities in tracking disability inclusion. Additionally, they must illustrate how they intend to leverage new data to inform policy changes and improve accessibility within their institutions. Real-world implementation of these systems will require significant collaboration among stakeholders, including educators, disability advocates, and government agencies.
The expected outcomes include improved data accuracy on participation rates and a strong basis for policy recommendations tailored to enhance disability inclusion in STEM education. By developing cohesive data systems, New York City can better understand the barriers faced by students with disabilities and take proactive measures to create a more inclusive educational environment. The initiative promises to position New York as a leader in utilizing data to inform inclusive educational practices across the STEM landscape.
