One practice for the whole arc of your work.

Design, build, coaching, evaluation, and engagement, woven together so your team gets help that fits exactly where you are.

Most of this work arrives alongside an office already doing it: research development, sponsored programs, broader impacts, engagement. I am the extra pair of hands on the specific piece nobody has time to build, adding capacity to what your institution already runs.

Evaluation

For PIs, centers, NSF/agency cohorts

Participatory, funded-project reporting that turns activity into credible evidence of impact.

What you get
A participatory evaluation plan built with your team, not handed down
Funder-ready reporting aligned to NSF and agency expectations
Cross-site frameworks that make a cohort comparable

Use the contact form to describe the project, the reporting you owe, and when it is due.

Partnership & Program Design

For institutions and consortia

Designing the science:society interface so specialized pieces resolve into one clear picture.

What you get
A mapped interface: roles, structures, and the seams between them, from $970
Program architecture that aligns partners, not only their calendars
A design others can staff, fund, and sustain without you

Use the contact form to describe the partnership, who is in it, and what you need it to do.

Grant Development Together

For faculty teams and centers

Building competitive proposals as partners, not vendors, from concept to submission.

What you get
Concept shaping and competitive positioning from day one
Broader-impacts and partnership design baked into the proposal
A co-developed submission, with me in the room as a partner

Use the contact form to name the solicitation you are chasing and the deadline you are working against.

Put your whole team on this.

Community seats and STEM Partnership Lab seats both scale to a full team. No separate engagement needed.

Community group seats: $149.25/seat/year, minimum 3.
Get seats on the Group tab →
STEM Partnership Lab seats: $450/seat/year or $45/month.
Get seats on the Individual tab →

A Lab seat works across all four: STEM Partnership Grant Development, STEM Partnership Professional Development, NSF CAREER Broader Impacts Planning, and NSF CAREER Broader Impacts Implementation.

Group, Team, and Cohort Lab Purchases

If you are part of a collaborative project or your campus already has a research development or broader impacts core doing this well, bring these pieces together and use the STEM Partnership Lab parts for individual and small group faculty work. This is one more resource in your kit. 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.

Next step

Tell me what you are trying to build.

Describe the work the way you would describe it to a colleague: an outside evaluator for a broader impacts section, a map of who is actually in a partnership, a co-investigator rather than a subcontractor. No product name required. The form asks which areas your work touches, gives you room to write the situation in your own words, and asks what deadline you are working against.

I read every one. What comes back depends on the week and on what is already on the bench, so nothing here promises a reply by a certain date, a connection, or a meeting. When the fit is there, you hear from me directly.
