The award provides $399,465 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to develop curricula for undergraduate research methods courses and design workshops to enhance teaching and mentoring practices for graduate...
- This $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the University of California Santa Cruz's implementation and evaluation of curricular undergraduate research experiences in the life sciences. The university will establish four new faculty-led course-based undergraduate research laboratories engaging up to 100 undergraduates, including those from underrepresented groups, in authentic research projects in molecular, cellular,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $399,683 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to the CAL Poly Corporation, the auxiliary organization of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The grant, titled "BEYOND SUCCESS: TRANSFORMING LEARNING BY HELPING STUDENTS TO THRIVE," aims to develop and test competency-based interventions to help engineering and computing students at the university...
- This federal Project Grant award for $332,182 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will investigate the impact of invitational teamwork on self-efficacy and workforce development for students in the Cal Poly Pomona Civil Engineering senior design course. The project aims to bridge the gap between industry expectations and academic preparation by enhancing the learning experience and professional skill development of engineering students through an...
- This $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to increase summer undergraduate research and internship opportunities for students attending a Hispanic-Serving two-year college. The project combines research experiences, academic coaching, STEM learning communities, and professional skill development to promote student success, retention in STEM majors, degree completion, and transfer to a four-year university. Key...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,258,941 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) to create a culture of STEM research at a two-year college. The project aims to develop and implement an array of early undergraduate research experiences for diverse STEM students at CCBC, prior to transferring to a four-year university. Key objectives include creating STEM research courses, providing student research...
This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research at Cal Poly Corporation to characterize undergraduate STEM research experiences and student outcomes. The three-year award aims to develop and validate a multi-dimensional measure of the work design structure of academic-year undergraduate research experiences. Researchers will adapt an established work design survey from organizational psychology for the STEM research context through subject matter expert interviews. A bilingual interview process will ensure the instrument functions reliably across linguistically diverse groups. Researchers will then use the new measure along with a self-reported survey of critical student outcomes to assess relationships between experience design and motivation, attitudes, and behaviors. Results will be disseminated through conferences, journals, and an informational website to provide insights on designing successful undergraduate research experiences to accelerate outcomes for diverse student populations.
