The project will develop and refine an intelligent online...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $199,989 will fund Bloomfield College's interventions to improve academic performance among biology majors under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The two-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will support a week-long intensive biology summer enrichment program, peer coaching and tutoring, and course-based undergraduate research experiences for incoming first-year biology students. These services aim to ease the transition to college,...
- This Project Grant award of $199,912.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a multi-faceted project aimed at improving learning outcomes and increasing passing rates in introductory biology courses at the recipient institution. The key activities include: Developing interactive 3D-printed learning materials to enhance conceptual understanding in introductory biology courses. Integrating project-based research experiences into newly created open...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $299,762, provided through the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports a postdoctoral fellowship focused on "Humanizing Biology Content to Enhance Undergraduate Learning and Intent to Persist in Science". The key objectives are to: 1) Assess the extent to which "humanized" content (integrating science and social justice issues) is prioritized in national biology education initiatives and assessments; 2)...
- This $144,771 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the University of Maine in developing adaptable online teaching resources and professional development for biology instructors. The University will build a library of peer-reviewed, active learning resources for online biology courses and offer workshops to help faculty incorporate these materials and skills into their own teaching through 2024. A subaward of $15,000 to the University...
- This $602,858 National Science Foundation project grant to Chapman University will evaluate the impact of the Promoting Active Learning and Mentoring (PALM) Network on implementing the Vision and Change (V&C) framework for undergraduate biology education. Through a mixed-methods approach including surveys and interviews, the project aims to determine the extent to which V&C principles motivated participation in PALM, characterize perceptions of V&C among instructors involved, and...
- Yale University was awarded a $599,692 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and test a revised measure of student buy-in to evidence-based teaching practices in college STEM classrooms. The grant aims to produce a more concise and conceptually aligned survey tool to measure student buy-in through three key activities. First, the project will improve an existing student buy-in framework by exploring moderating variables through...
Yale University was awarded a two-year, $462,112 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076). The grant will support Yale University's project "Seeing the Paths to Change: Evaluating Vision & Change in Undergraduate Biology Education Using a Pathway Modeling Approach" based in New Haven, Connecticut. The project aims to evaluate shifts in undergraduate biology education using pathway modeling to analyze the implementation of the American Association for the Advancement of Science report Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education. Insights from this evaluation may help optimize the implementation of evidence-based reforms to biology education and better serve the nation's future STEM workforce.
