The research integrates...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $199,989 will fund Bloomfield College's interventions to improve academic performance among biology majors under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The two-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will support a week-long intensive biology summer enrichment program, peer coaching and tutoring, and course-based undergraduate research experiences for incoming first-year biology students. These services aim to ease the transition to college,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program aims to develop, test, and publish a collection of approximately 45 Core Concept Teaching Tools (CCTTs) to help biology students transfer their knowledge of core concepts across scales and sub-disciplines. The $232,710 award to the University of Colorado will support bringing together biology educators to create the CCTTs, which will include narratives describing complex biological phenomena and activities...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $299,493 provides funding from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Colorado State University. The award aims to improve evidence-based teaching practices in undergraduate biology courses through the development and testing of "Reading to Reason in Science" interventions focusing on scientific argumentation and processes. At least 1,000 undergraduates across three institutions—a public research university, private undergraduate college, and two-year college—will benefit from interventions centered around prompts highlighting scientific theories, hypotheses, reasoning, and graphical evidence. Colorado College will receive a sub-award to aid in intervention implementation and evaluation in introductory biology courses, as well as support related data collection, analysis and dissemination activities.
