HRES 944 is a resolution directing the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2024. The briefing must detail the Department of Defense’s plans for implementing STEM education and outreach efforts, specifically building on recommendations from a 2022 report about defense-industry collaboration in STEM education. This resolution requires the Department to outline how it will develop diverse pathways into national security careers through curriculum innovation and partnerships with entities like the National Science Foundation, without creating new legal obligations.
