As called for in the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010, the National Science and Technology Council's (NSTC) Committee on STEM Education (CoSTEM) released, in May of 2013, the Federal Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education 5- Year Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan). As required by the Act, this report includes an update on Strategic Plan implementation activities, an update on efforts being taken to increase efficiency and coherence across the Federal STEM education portfolio, and a discussion of methods to disseminate information about Federally-supported STEM education research and resources. This report also includes tables containing estimated and actual Federal STEM Education funding by agency and program (FY2015-2017). These data build on historical reporting of Federal STEM-education investments that appear in the Strategic Plan and in the Federal Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education Portfolio released by CoSTEM in December 2011. The following is appended: "2015 Quarterly Updates on STEM Education CAP Goal."
