This National Science Foundation project grant of $555,911 will support Johnson County Community College in developing and sustaining Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) across multiple science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines through September 2026. The funding advances the goals of the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) by promoting innovative and evidence-based practices in undergraduate STEM education at two-year colleges.

Specifically, the college will establish CUREs as regular curricular requirements within science programs in fields like astronomy, biology, chemistry, environmental science, geology, horticulture, physics and more. Faculty teams will design, pilot and refine the CUREs while receiving professional development support. An institutional change framework will also create accountability measures and strategic partnerships to sustain the CUREs approach. Evaluation research and dissemination activities, including conferences and workshops, will share best practices for implementing CUREs at community colleges and overcoming common barriers. The project aims to establish a culture combining teaching, learning and research at the two-year institution.
