The National Science Foundation awarded a $481,587 three-year Project Grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation to support the Broadening Participation and Resiliency in Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at Georgia Institute of Technology. The funding supports the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program.
Under the award, Georgia Tech will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates program providing holistic summer research opportunities to a diverse population of undergraduates in physics. The program aims to address leaky STEM pipelines and support the next generation of physicists through high-quality inclusive research experiences, skills development activities, and establishing a supportive alumni network. Specifically, the award will fund research placements, seminars, workshops, engagement of participants after the summer, and collaboration with Atlanta University Center Consortium institutions to support students from those underrepresented backgrounds. The program is expected to improve representation and success of underrepresented groups in graduate physics and STEM more broadly.
