The research will...
The National Science Foundation awarded Widener University a $499,811 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The grant aims to broaden undergraduate participation in ecology and evolution research through CUREs (Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences) using digitized natural history collections data. Widener will partner with George Washington University and the Delaware Museum of Nature and Science on the project. George Washington University will provide training opportunities, support materials for integrating CUREs, and connect network members online. The Delaware Museum of Nature and Science will provide critical collections expertise and help administer the grant budget. Both sub-awardees will participate in recruitment workshops and conferences to share the work. If successful, this project could enhance understanding of major biological problems through increased scientific knowledge and a strengthened national research enterprise.
