Cuesta College received a $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076). The grant aims to increase community college student engagement in undergraduate research experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields through scaffolding high impact practices.

Specifically, Cuesta College will build on prior awards to enhance and expand different types of undergraduate research experiences embedded in STEM courses and standalone opportunities. This includes course-based research, fieldwork/labs, research-specific courses, and a research-oriented STEM seminar. The college also plans to establish a faculty innovation group to develop, propagate and sustain undergraduate research experiences across disciplines. The ultimate goals are to offer a broad range of research opportunity engagements to at least 300 STEM and non-STEM students, and institutionalize the STEM seminar exploring research opportunities and career paths. Outcomes will be evaluated through 2025 to contribute to understanding the impact of undergraduate research experiences on student success and faculty learning.
