Efforts to Broaden Participation (ERC Diversity
Policy Requirements)

• Operate with strategic plans that include goals,
  milestones, actions, and impacts to increase
  their diversity at all levels so as to exceed
  national engineering-wide averages
• Form sustained partnerships with affiliated deans
  and department chairs to enable this enhancement
  
• Develop outreach connections with predominantly
  female and underrepresented-minority institutions
  as core or affiliate partners
• Develop outreach connections with at least one
  LSAMP and one or more AGEP, TCUP, CREST, etc.
  (long-term REUs and graduate bridge fellowships)
  and
• Operate a diversity-oriented Research Experiences
  for Undergraduates (REU) program as well as a
  pre-college program focused on diversity
  involving teachers and students (e.g. Research
  Experiences for Teachers (RET) program)
