STEM CORE supports faculty through guiding them through the proposal process, developing broader impacts portions of their proposals, helping connect with education faculty and external evaluators, and integrating STEM educational constructs into research proposals. We can also help coordinate partnerships and projects within institutional priorities and connect you with established resources. STEM CORE can provide letters of support for community (TTU, Lubbock or K-12 specific) connections. STEM CORE can also help implement/facilitate your broader impacts portions of your proposals, if written into the budget, and discussed prior to submission. For more information, check out our Research Grant Toolbox.

STEM CORE offers workshops on STEM outreach, STEM mentorship, grant writing/development, and community engagement. Sessions are offered throughout the year and are open to faculty and staff, graduate students and undergraduates. If you need something specific for your department, please reach out via our Grants Assistance Form and we will work to get something scheduled. For more information, check out our Research Grant Toolbox.

Faculty can share research positions, internships, and assistantships with open positions through the Undergraduate Lab Position Openings page to reach a broader audience.

Members gain access to workshops, partnership opportunities, promotion of lab openings, and collaboration support for grants and outreach. Membership is free and open to any TTU faculty or staff member. Check out our About Membership Page to learn more.

Associate Directors are faculty appointed to represent STEM-engaged colleges through their engagement with STEM CORE. ADs report out on college needs, opportunities and aligned activities, as well as introduce STEM CORE resources and connections within their colleges. If you have questions, reach out to your Associate Director today!

Meeting space can be reserved through any member of the STEM CORE team. Feel free to email us at stem-core@ttu.edu with the specific dates, times and a preferred location (if you know it) for your request.

STEM CORE is always looking for faculty and staff who are interested in getting involved in STEM Outreach. If you are interested, please see the Outreach Interest Form.

If you are interested in STEM mentorship, we encourage you to register for the President's STEM Mentoring Academy. If your students are also interested, we encourage them to apply to the STEM CORE CREW Program.
