primer [3], there are between 105 and 252 STEMeducation programs or activities at 13 to 15 federal agencies; the key agencies involved in theeffort are Department of Education, National Science Foundation, and Health and HumanServices.Given that the interests are broad and federal efforts are spread across multiple agencies, there isa concern with perceived duplication of effort and a lack of coordination in the federal effort.Therefore, efforts to improve accountability and coordination have gained prominence in recentyears. The data currently available about STEM education paints a “complicated” picture [3].According to many indicators [3], overall graduate enrollments in science and engineering (S&E)grew 35% over the last decade; S&E
