The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded a $954,605 project grant to Texas Southern University to support the Flexible Internships-Research-Education (FIRE) Model from October 2021 through September 2027.
The FIRE Model aims to improve access to career development and education opportunities for talented, low-income students through collaborative research. The project directly supports the goals of the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), which provides leadership and ensures the vitality of the nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics education enterprise.
Specifically, the FIRE Model will develop flexible internship opportunities, research experiences, and educational programming to help underserved students pursue STEM careers and postsecondary education. The project is being conducted at Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas.
