This federal Project Grant award, totaling $1,000,000.00 and awarded on September 15, 2023, is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) through the Hispanic-Serving Institutions Education Grants Program (CFDA 10.223).

The grant aims to develop and implement a program at three Hispanic-Serving Institutions in California - California State University, Los Angeles; San Diego State University; and California State University, Bakersfield. The program will use an asset-based framework to foster students' science identity, incorporate evidence-based science pedagogy to promote engagement and motivation, equip students with reactive molecular dynamic simulations skills to enhance their understanding of chemical reactions, and emphasize practical application skills to solve contextualized problems in the food and agricultural science field. The program will provide training to a total of 72 undergraduate students and enhance the leadership skills of 10 graduate student mentors by incorporating reactive molecular dynamic simulation into their own research. The overarching goal is to enhance the quality of food and agricultural science education at these Hispanic-Serving Institutions and better prepare students for success in advanced degree programs and careers within the food and agricultural science sector.
