Evaluation, partnership design, public and policy engagement, workforce and STEM education. STEMsaic designs with expertise across the science:society interface. We help your team do this work before, during, and after the grants are won.
Free. A complete Team Guide and its eight tools, yours in the first email.
Every project is a mosaic: many specialized pieces, partners, and possibilities that create the overall picture of impact. The integration of these pieces is the work that needs to occur.
STEMsaic helps the mosaic of design:build partnership work to match your goals and resources at all stages of a project.
Your evaluation and infrastructure built as embedded and working tools in your project, not plans on a shelf.
Your team, coached and connected to implement and build fundable proposals together.
Your funded work, turned into evidence of impact through participatory evaluation, data, and story.
Your public, policy, and workforce engagement, informed by research and practice to be built for impact.
The four STEM Partnership Lab themes all run inside the same larger community. There are multiple interactives, resources, decks, and topical STEM Partnership development team guides paired with webinars and videos that move through the academic calendar.
Everything is designed based on practical experiences of academic life and providing the pathways that you need to do this work the way you want to. STEMsaic is leading and supporting more than a dozen design and evaluation projects, including four NSF EPIIC awardee campuses and the NOAA Sea Grant study of Great Lakes microplastics, where STEMsaic's founder, Travis Tangen, is a Co-PI. The STEMsaic Team Guides paired with the live and on-demand webinars can be the professional supports and facilitation guides to work with your team and integrate with existing campus expertise and resources.
Whichever of the four STEM Partnership Labs you sign up for will have the shared material tailored and pointed at your specific purpose. Here are the four STEM Partnership Lab themes.
Your programs are working. You have many partners who are making connections, a funding line with an end date, and a sense of the next proposal, but not all the details you need to write the next proposal. This space shares possibilities for proposal development and may even play a role in facilitating introductions. STEM Partnership programs could be in the form of industry partners and workforce, community programs with science, and science education in and out of the classroom. Any of these across STEM disciplines that are seeking or in the process of developing grant proposals would be a good fit for the lab space.
From $75 a month or $750 a year a seat.
Are you part of a multi-partner collaborative project, or does your campus already have a research development or broader impacts core supporting this work? Bring these pieces together and integrate the STEM Partnership Lab resources for individual and small group faculty work. STEMsaic's STEM Partnership Labs are designed to plug into the workshops, cohorts and programs you already run. This combination of synced and asynchronous activities can help with the demanding staff and faculty schedules of all involved.
