RFA Review – Addendum II
The Regions are best envisioned as fluid and virtual rather than rigid and bounded – there will be much cross‐over among sectors, including community colleges, economic zones, universities and private colleges, etc.
Regions are encouraged to share information, collaborate, and interconnect through coordination of resources, which can also provide a gateway to other centers and initiatives. The expectations of the Regional STEM Network Center will align closely to the anticipated responsibilities of the Regional STEM Director (see Addendum III.C).
