Project Grant 2216019
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program ($106,679) supports the development of a model to understand instructor implementation of evidence-based teaching practices. Awarded February 1, 2023 for a three-year period concluding January 31, 2026, this collaboration between Yale University, SUNY-Binghamton, and the University of Connecticut aims to identify why some instructors continue to adopt evidence-based teaching methods after professional development...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant, awarded to the University of Nebraska at Omaha, aims to develop survey tools to measure faculty use of evidence-based teaching practices and identify perceived barriers to their adoption. The $294,957 award will fund the creation and validation of two new instruments: the Student-Observed Instructional Practices (S-IMPACT) survey for students, and the Observed Barriers to Successful Teaching Questionnaire for...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program, formerly known as Education and Human Resources, totaling $421,171 will fund the development of a model to understand instructor implementation of evidence-based teaching practices. Yale University is the primary awardee and will collaborate with the State University of New York at Binghamton and the University of Connecticut on this project awarded February 1, 2023 with a projected completion date of January 31,...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $310,985 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Minnesota. The grant aims to identify classroom practices that enable a greater number of students to thrive in introductory STEM courses, with a focus on narrowing performance gaps. The project has three key objectives: 1) Develop an explanatory model of achievement gaps by measuring critical elements for closing...
- Federal Grant Award Summary Yale University received a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028. This Level 1 Engaged Student Learning project investigates the pedagogical mechanisms and instructional practices that make Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) effective in promoting student engagement and persistence in...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $280,806 will fund Vanderbilt University to deliver products and services aimed at improving equity in STEM education through 2026. Under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), which supports development and implementation of promising STEM education practices, the university will pursue three specific aims. The first is to assess impacts of incorporating Learning Assistants on sense of belonging, self-efficacy, and identity across...
- This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to advance the cognitive science of active learning in STEM courses. Over a two-year period, the fellow will conduct three controlled experiments manipulating dosage schedules and order of active learning and lecture components. The research aims to pinpoint instructional features that maximize equity,...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $172,947 will fund the development of open response assessments to evaluate undergraduate student engagement in mathematical sensemaking across biology, chemistry, and physics disciplines. Awarded under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the funding will support two aims over a four year period from March 2023 through February 2027. The first aim is to apply an evidence-centered design process to develop open-ended assessment items...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) a $399,953 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The grant aims to "EMPOWER ENGINEERING STUDENTS TO BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE AND SELF-REGULATED LEARNERS" through the integration of learning skills training into engineering courses. The 3-year project will develop and implement evidence-based pedagogical approaches to help engineering students adopt effective learning...
Yale University was awarded a $599,692 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and test a revised measure of student buy-in to evidence-based teaching practices in college STEM classrooms. The grant aims to produce a more concise and conceptually aligned survey tool to measure student buy-in through three key activities. First, the project will improve an existing student buy-in framework by exploring moderating variables through literature review and expert consultation. Second, the measure will be revised to increase applicability by shortening length and improving understandability and reliability. Third, a pilot study will distribute the revised framework and measures in classrooms using evidence-based teaching to test the tools. Upon completion, the project is expected to provide a statistically robust yet simplified student buy-in measure to facilitate broader use in evaluating strategies to improve STEM student outcomes.
