The Rochester Institute of Technology was awarded a $398,271 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). Over three years, the grant will support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site that will engage ten college students per summer in mentored STEM education research projects. Participants will gain knowledge and skills in research practices, communication, and future career options to improve STEM learning and inclusion. Specifically, students will conduct cutting-edge research intended to contribute to the field of STEM student success and will develop professional competencies to prepare for STEM careers or Ph.D. programs. Outcomes include recruiting and retaining a diverse group of undergraduates in STEM and introducing future educators to evidence-based teaching practices. Project results and participant data will be reported annually to the NSF.
