CHIPS and Science Act Implementation

In August 2022, President Biden signed into law the 'CHIPS an d Science Act,' focusing on a long-term vision and critical funding initiative that will power American infrastructure, grow and diversify our workforce, and enhance science and technology research and development for years to come. The Chips and Science Act centers around the belief that  science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and workforce development activities are critical to developing skills needed for taking on the highly-skilled jobs of the emerging industries built on technologies of the future within the United States. To ensure more people from all backgrounds and all regions and communities around the country, especially people from marginalized, under-served, and under-resourced communities, can benefit from and participate in STEM education and training opportunities, the CHIPS and Science Act authorizes new and expanded investments in STEM education and training from K-12 to community college, undergraduate and graduate education.
