All grantees must track and report on the core participation indicators below. In addition, grantees are required to report on the approach-specific indicators, as applicable, based on the strategies included in their proposed project design. Not all grantees are expected to implement every recommended approach; only indicators aligned with selected project strategies will be required.
| Strategic Approach | Core Indicator | Indicator Type |
| Project Reach and Equity (required for all grantees) | Number of participants (disaggregated by age, race/ethnicity, and single-parent household status, where collected) | Output |
| Hands-on STEM learning experiences (if applicable) | Number of STEM sessions, workshops, clubs, or project-based learning experiences delivered | Output |
| Percentage of participants who report increased STEM skills, knowledge, or interest after participation | Outcome | |
| Mentorship or exposure to women in STEM (if applicable) | Number of women mentors, role models, guest speakers, or STEM partners engaged | Output |
| Percentage of participants reporting increased awareness of STEM career pathways or role models in STEM | Outcome | |
| Family or caregiver encouragement (if applicable) | Percentage of participants whose family members or caregivers attend at least one project activity, where applicable | Output |
| Intentional confidence, identity, or belonging-building experiences (if applicable) | Number of project activities intentionally designed to build STEM confidence, identity, leadership, or belonging | Output |
| Percentage of participants reporting increased confidence, sense of belonging, or identity in STEM | Outcome |
These indicators allow AAUW to understand project reach, quality of implementation, and immediate participant-level impact across all funded sites. Data may be collected through attendance records, registration data, pre- and post-surveys, and other participant feedback methods.
