About NGCP
There are many projects devoted to increasing the number of girls interested in STEM across the country, but, often, individuals working on one girl-serving STEM project are unaware of similar projects nearby. A large part of the NGCP is the creation of a Program Directory of these girl-serving projects and others interested in increasing gender equity in STEM. The Program Directory allows organizations and individuals to network, share resources, and collaborate on STEM-related projects for girls.
There are currently 19 regional collaboratives covering 28 states across the U.S. based on the NGCP model. In addition to bringing together programs to network and share resources, each local collaborative provides mini-grants, a small amount of seed funding for joint projects relating to either informal learning or evaluation and assessment. The NGCP also disseminates these research-based promising practices to help further advance the work of girl-serving STEM programs.
The National Girls Collaborative Project is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation, Research on Gender in Science and Engineering Award HRD-0631766.
AAUW NGCP Liaisons
AAUW members across the country are acting as liaisons for the National Girls Collaborative Project. These liaisons help the people involved in the NGCP to make connections — to one another, to resources on gender equity in STEM, and to AAUW.
