Project Grant 2225149
- This $550,701 National Science Foundation project grant supports research examining factors that influence engineering degree attainment through the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). Purdue University will conduct a mixed-methods study from 2022-2025 analyzing national longitudinal data and interviewing students and parents at three institutions. The research aims to identify economic, social, and cultural capital influences on engineering major choice and degree completion. Findings will...
- This $334,155 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to explore how family involvement in everyday activities like cooking can spark children's interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), with a focus on Latino families. The project will evaluate the effects of culturally affirming, at-home, co-cooking activities on children's STEM identity, career aspirations, and diet quality over a 5-week period....
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will provide $299,304 in funding to Rowan University from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2027. The project will research the impacts of family-related stressors on the sense of belonging for low-income engineering students, with the goal of informing practices to improve retention and graduation rates of this underrepresented population in STEM fields. The research will explore how the challenges faced...
- The University of South Carolina was awarded a $954,469 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings. The grant was awarded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to support the Institute for Measurement Methods in Rural STEM Education. The Institute will develop and validate measurement tools and methods to evaluate STEM education programs serving rural communities. It will conduct research in South Carolina from...
- This $631,404 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) in developing resources to help informal STEM educators conduct more effective and culturally responsive program evaluations. Over the 2-year project period from September 2024 to August 2026, NYSCI will collaborate with caregivers to identify meaningful evaluation metrics and develop a toolkit to empower educators to gather and apply...
- This $334,924 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project investigating the influence of household labor distribution on children's development. The project aims to examine how family experiences and division of labor impact children's thinking about fairness, as well as their aspirations for future work and family life. Through a series of behavioral and observational...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $100,055 to Trustees of Indiana University (doing business as Indiana University) to investigate the impact of parent-child interactions on spatial skills and STEM motivation among 1st and 2nd grade students. The research aims to 1) identify specific aspects of parent-child interactions that predict children's spatial skills and STEM learning/motivation, 2) establish causal relationships...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program, formerly known as Education and Human Resources, will fund research examining family engagement in early math education and developing interventions to promote such engagement, especially for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. With $300,000 in funding provided over two years from October 2022 to September 2024, the Trustees of Boston College will conduct focus groups and naturalistic observations of family...
- This two-year, $299,722 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund the New York Hall of Science to deliver exploratory research and co-design efforts with caregivers in Corona, Queens. Working with the New York City Department of Education, the awardee will conduct interviews and intersectional research to understand caregiver engagement in STEM learning from multiple cultural perspectives. They will then engage in collaborative...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will use a $335,948 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to determine if parental STEM language varies by child gender. The research effort, taking place from September 2021 through August 2023 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, will employ computational language processing techniques to analyze parental speech patterns regarding STEM topics around their children. The STEM Education program aims to...
This $349,579 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a validated instrument to measure family science habitus and science capital. Awarded on September 15, 2022 to Clemson University under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), this three-year project will create a tool to capture broader notions of how families support children's interest, engagement and aspirations in science. Specifically, the principal investigator will build their research capacity in quantitative methods while collaborating with experts to design a survey capturing underrepresented families' tacit ideas and resources related to science. The outcomes aim to change stakeholder beliefs about family involvement in STEM and engage families as partners. This award reflects the NSF's mission to ensure the vitality of the nation's STEM education enterprise through leadership and funding of research building core capacity.
