Arizona State University was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on March 1, 2021 to complete a project titled "Exploring the Effect of Shared Identities Between Instructors and Students in the Undergraduate Biology Classroom" by February 29, 2024. The grant was awarded under the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA #47.076), which supports the development of STEM education programs at institutions of higher education. Through this funding, Arizona State University will explore how shared identities such as gender, race or ethnicity between instructors and students impact the undergraduate biology learning experience. The university will examine factors such as student performance, retention in STEM fields, and the classroom environment. Insights from this research could inform the development of inclusive teaching practices and help broaden participation in the STEM workforce.
