has been madepublicly available via annual progress reports, we provide insight into how Federal STEMeducation efforts have made progress towards its three goals of improved STEM literacy,increased diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and STEM workforce development. Additionally,we consider what this analysis means in the context of the greater STEM community. With theSTEM Education Strategic Plan’s tenure coming to an end, this paper concludes by encouragingdiscussion regarding the future of Federal STEM education initiatives informed by the last fiveyears’ progress and potential shortcomings.1 Introduction“Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are the foundation for discovery andinnovation.” This is the first line

AMR is when microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites, no longer respondto the medications that are intended to kill them [1]. In 2019 alone, 1.27 million people globallydied as a direct result of antibiotic-resistant infections, and it has been
