The National Science Foundation awarded Northeastern State University a $287,614 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to increase the use of course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in introductory STEM courses. The university aims to implement a workshop and fellowship program to engage faculty in developing new CUREs for their courses. Specifically, the grant will fund a workshop on CURE pedagogy and models for integration, as well as CURE fellowships for selected faculty to receive mentoring as they develop, implement, and revise at least one CURE. The university expects to increase the number of STEM courses with CUREs by 200%, recruit additional undergraduate STEM majors including 20 from underrepresented backgrounds, and improve student outcomes through this evidence-based teaching practice supported by the NSF program.
