I’m proud to have worked to pass the CHIPS and Science Act to help boost STEM manufacturing and I will continue to fight to increase the nation’s STEM workforce.” “This funding will help the university keep up its work with other New York research institutions to bring good-paying jobs to Upstate New York. “Syracuse University is a national leader in training the nation’s STEM workforce, and with this funding, it will be able to continue providing underrepresented students with the training needed to get good-paying STEM jobs,” said Senator Gillibrand. “This critical NSF investment will spur collaboration between several blossoming Upstate industries and multiple world class research institutions over the next five years, helping give the next generation the skills they need to build America’s future here in Upstate NY.” I am proud to deliver this nearly $2.5 million federal investment to help Syracuse University and its six partner institutions from Rochester to the North Country increase the nation's STEM workforce, and further boost Central New York’s research leadership,” said Senator Schumer. “Syracuse is already leading our nation in bringing high-tech and semiconductor manufacturing back to our shores, and now thanks to this $2.5 million federal boost, SU will continue to lead Upstate NY community colleges and universities in connecting underrepresented students to good paying STEM careers. Schumer and Gillibrand said this investment will be integral to providing increased support and research opportunities to underrepresented students entering STEM careers or graduate-level programs and leading schools across Upstate New York to help underserved populations get connected to good paying jobs, spurred by the federal legislation like the CHIPS & Science Act, Inflation Reduction Act, and Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law. This program will help institutionalize practices to attract and retain underrepresented populations of students with STEM majors, refine practices to increase the number of students pursuing STEM careers or graduate-level STEM degrees, and measure the impact of research experience for undergraduates. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand today announced $2.5 million in National Science Foundation (NSF) funding for the Upstate Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (“USLAMP”), led by Syracuse University, to help increase access for underserved populations and diversify the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce in New York and across America. Schumer, Gillibrand: Syracuse University And Schools Across Upstate NY Can Lead The Charge To Give Tools To Next Generation Of America’s STEM Workforce Senators Say Major Investment Into Syracuse University, With Partnerships At Clarkson University, Cornell, Monroe Community College, Onondaga Community College, RPI, and RIT, Will Increase Support And Research Opportunities For Underrepresented Students To Give Them The Skills They Need To Get Connected To Good Paying Jobs With Upstate NY Seeing Historic New Investment And A Manufacturing Boom From Schumer’s CHIPS & Science Act – Like Micron’s Landmark $100 Billion Investment In CNY Memory Chip Fab – Senators Say Now Is Perfect Time To Invest In Upstate NY’s Universities That Are Molding Next Generation Of Tech Workforce
