OSTP leads interagency science and technology policy coordination efforts, assists the Office of Management and Budget with an annual review and analysis of Federal research and development in budgets, and serves as a source of scientific and technological analysis and judgment for the President with respect to major policies, plans, and programs of the Federal Government. More information is available at [http://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp](http://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp).  \nAbout the National Science and Technology Council  \nThe National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) is the principal means by which the Executive Branch coordinates science and technology policy across the diverse entities that make up the Federal research and development enterprise. A primary objective of the NSTC is to ensure science and technology policy decisions and programs are consistent with the President's stated goals. The NSTC prepares research and development strategies that are coordinated across Federal agencies aimed at accomplishing multiple national goals. The work of the NSTC is organized under committees that oversee subcommittees and working groups focused on different aspects of science and technology. More information is available at [http://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/nstc](http://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/nstc).  \nAbout the Committee on STEM Education  \nThe Committee on STEM Education (CoSTEM) was established pursuant to the requirements of Section 101 of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 (42 U.S.C. §6621) . In accordance with the Act, the Committee reviews science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education programs, investments, and activities, and the respective assessments of each, in Federal agencies to ensure that they are effective; coordinates, with the Office of Management and Budget, STEM education programs, investments, and activities throughout the Federal agencies; and develops and implements through the participating agencies a STEM education strategic plan, to be updated every five years.  \nAbout the Federal Coordination in STEM Education Subcommittee (FCSTEM) and Interagency Working Groups  \nThe Federal Coordination in STEM Education (FC-STEM) is a subcommittee of the Committee on STEM Education (CoSTEM) . FC-STEM advises and assists CoSTEM and serves as a forum to facilitate the formulation and implementation of the strategic plan. Six Interagency Working Groups (IWGs) support FC-STEM as it implements the Strategic Plan and brings together members who represent the Federal government’s foremost experts in STEM education. Four of the IWGs are concentrating their efforts on one of each of the four pathways outlined in the Federal STEM Education Strategic Plan. These pathways include Strategic Partnerships, Convergence, Computational Literacy, and Transparency & Accountability. The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) chartered a fifth IWG, the  \nInteragency Working Group on Inclusion in STEM (IWGIS), in response to Section 308 of the 2017 American Innovation and Competitiveness Act and focuses on broadening participation in STEM. A sixth IWG was formed in response to the 2020 Supporting Veterans in STEM Careers Act to improve ","cbCaivrEUP7R5Rxv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivrEUP7R5Rxv","pdf",1394287,32,"English","# About the Office of Science and Technology Policy\n# About the National Science and Technology Council\n# About the Committee on STEM Education\n# About the Federal Coordination in STEM Education Subcommittee and Interagency Working Groups\n# About the Interagency Working Group on Convergence\n# About this Document","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the report on convergence education?\",\"answer\":\"The report establishes a definition and overarching guidance for convergence education.
