The Sloan Centers for Systemic Change (SCSC) supports universities that demonstrate a commitment through meaningful action toward addressing all significant barriers in STEM graduate education within their own programs and contexts with an emphasis on systemic approaches to change at the college and departmental levels. Building upon the transformative work of the Sloan University Centers of Exemplary Mentoring (UCEM) institutions, in 2023, the Foundation made 10 two-year seed grants to launch SCSC. Between 2025-2028, the Foundation will make a handful of new seed grants and will begin to make implementation awards which carry with them Sloan-funded scholarships for talented STEM doctoral students. Among other professional development opportunities, all seed awardees take part in the Equity in Graduate Education Consortium, a networked improvement community that equips participants with research, tools, and change management strategies to achieve systemic change.
