- The National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) awarded a $349,974 project grant to the University of Tulsa to develop the principal investigator's skills in qualitative research methods for STEM education research. The goal is to investigate differences in science identity development between STEM undergraduate students engaged in research opportunities, laboratory-based student work, and non-laboratory student work. The project will utilize qualitative analysis,...
- This $349,602 federal project grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports research at Clark Atlanta University to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating scientific literacy curricula, peer mentoring, and supplemental instruction for first-year biology majors. The goal is to enhance retention, graduation rates, and gateway course pass rates for this student population. The 3-year project employs a randomized controlled trial design,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant award of $2,500,000 to Fayetteville State University (FSU) under CFDA 47.076 STEM Education aims to increase the number of low-income, academically talented students who earn degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The six-year project will provide scholarships of up to $15,000 per year to 40 unique full-time students pursuing associate and/or baccalaureate degrees in chemistry and materials science at FSU...
- This five-year, $750,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support Ball State University's Pathways to STEM Degrees Through Integrated Academic Support, Career Enhancement, and Personal Development program. The program aims to increase degree completion among low-income, high-achieving undergraduate students pursuing bachelor's degrees in chemistry and biology through integrated academic support, career development, and personal...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $2,499,950 to Minnesota State Colleges & Universities (operating as Bemidji State University) will support a six-year program to increase STEM degree completion rates for academically talented, low-income undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need. The project aims to recruit and retain two cohorts of 55 diverse STEM scholars, graduate 80% within four years, and have at least 90% obtain...
- This $1,993,085 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support scholarships, mentoring, undergraduate research experiences, and other activities to increase STEM degree completion for 20 high-achieving, low-income undergraduate students at St. John Fisher University. The project aims to boost persistence and success in STEM fields by addressing psychosocial factors like self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and personal...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $500,000 to the University of Houston to implement an undergraduate research training program in biology and biochemistry. The project will engage cohorts of financially disadvantaged students, including those from underrepresented populations, in a two-semester capstone course to develop scientific and workforce skills, followed by research placements with mentors. The primary goals are...
This three-year, $299,997 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Fisk University under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The university will design synthetic polyglycidol-based polymeric networks to influence cellular behavior. Researchers will tune the chemical composition and network topology of polyglycidol hydrogels to present multiple biophysical and biochemical cues. This will regulate mesenchymal stem cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. Undergraduate students, including those from underrepresented minority groups in STEM, will gain integrated research training. The interdisciplinary project aims to establish structure-property-activity relationships between polymer network biochemical and biophysical properties and cellular responses. It advances the design of cell scaffolds for fundamental understanding of synergistic effects on cellular processes. The facile modification of polyether networks represents a significant step toward influencing cells with synthetic materials.
