About TAPDINTO-STEM

TAPDINTO-STEM is a national collaborative effort involving 29 colleges and universities in 16 states, Washington, D.C., and the Mariana Islands.

Persons with disabilities are one of the most significantly underrepresented groups in STEM education and employment, comprising a disproportionately smaller percentage of STEM degrees and jobs compared to their percentages in the U.S. population. The NSF INCLUDES Alliance: The Alliance of Students with Disabilities for Inclusion, Networking, and Transition Opportunities in STEM (TAPDINTO-STEM), will employ a collective impact approach with dozens of partnering organizations to increase the number of students with disabilities (SWDs) who complete associate, baccalaureate and graduate STEM degrees and enter the STEM workforce.

      • 2 colleges and universities focused on students with disabilities
      • 3 community colleges
      • 8 minority-serving institutions (MSI)
      • 3 major national organizations
