This $222,051 project grant from the National Science Foundation will support the Authentic Research Experiences for Teachers at Long-Term Ecological Research Sites project. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), pairs of high school teachers from schools with large populations of underrepresented students in STEM fields will conduct authentic research at three Long Term Ecological Research sites spanning Arctic, temperate forest, and coastal marine ecosystems. Over an 18-month period, teachers will work with faculty and graduate students to study the impacts of emerging environmental stressors on local biodiversity. They will compare experiences virtually and develop data products to share their research with students and other classrooms. The goals are to train teachers in global change ecology techniques and explore ways to engage historically excluded student communities in STEM. Marquette University will oversee performance from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2025.
