WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced that the National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $1,989,847 grant to Baldwin Wallace University to establish a consortium of 15 higher education institutions to increase the number of students who complete their Bachelor of Science degrees in computer science to help meet workforce needs with a focus on underrepresented groups in computing.
“We unleash more American innovation when we nurture Ohio talent,” Brown said. “This award will help Baldwin Wallace University students prepare for careers at good-paying, skilled jobs, and continue Ohio’s leadership in innovation.”
Brown has cosponsored the Supporting Early Career Researchers Act to establish a two-year pilot program at NSF to award grants to highly qualified, early-career investigators at independent, higher education research institutions for up to two years. This will help prevent research talent loss due to job market disruptions caused by the pandemic.
NSF supports research and education in all non-medical fields of science and engineering.
