SUMMARY: The Networking and Information Technology Research and 
Development Program is announcing a Science, Technology, Engineering, 
and Math (STEM) Portal that provides a one-stop resource for Federal 
cyberlearning, computational literacy, and information technology 
training opportunities at all education levels to champion a diverse, 
inclusive, and well-trained workforce capable of future innovations. 
The resource provides details on programs targeting all levels of 
education and experience.

DATES: The guidance portal is accessible by the public on May 6, 2021.

ADDRESSES: NITRD's STEM Portal is available at https://www.nitrd.gov/STEM4ALL/.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Adrian Baranyuk, [email protected], or 
202-459-9687.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Increasing the availability of STEM 
opportunities is a priority in the Biden-Harris Administration. 
Computational literacy is critical for America to maintain leadership 
in science and technology. NITRD and its participating agencies are 
prioritizing STEM education at all levels, to champion a diverse, 
inclusive, and well-trained workforce capable of future innovation. 
This portal was developed to cultivate STEM engagement and training; it 
provides the entry into an exciting and dynamic career.
    This STEM Portal provides programs targeted to all levels of 
experience so there is something for everyone interested in technology 
careers and advanced training. It gives in one location a searchable 
database of opportunities at Federal agencies for internships, 
scholarships, and other training programs. Each listing includes the 
description, link, and contact information for the program. The search 
filters provide flexibility to target the opportunities of interest. 
The pull-down menu for Education Level Eligibility provides 
opportunities for community college students, undergraduates and 
graduates, postdoctoral fellows, early career researchers, K-12 
Educators, and K-12 students.
