NSF announces name changes to education directorate and to the human resource division

Previously known as the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), the renaming of the directorate is designed, "to more accurately reflect and communicate the values and totality of the agency’s work with STEM education including supporting the missing millions — Americans from every background, in each state, who have the potential to participate in STEM."

The directorate will now be known as the Directorate for STEM Education, or EDU, and the division will be known as the Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM, or EES. The Directorate for STEM Education will support STEM education at all educational levels and in a variety of settings.
