The University of Puerto Rico received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education on October 15, 2021 to support the program "Preparing the Next Generation of Environmental Scientists through Research-Based Coursework and Community Internships."
Funded through the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA #47.076), this three-year award will allow the University to develop new research-based coursework and offer community internships to strengthen environmental science education. The STEM Education program aims to ensure the vitality of the nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics education sectors. This award will support the University's efforts to prepare undergraduate students for careers in environmental science through hands-on learning opportunities. Coursework enhancements and internship placements will allow students to gain real-world experience working with local organizations on environmental issues. The project is expected to be completed by September 30, 2024.
