This National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education Project Grant award to Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) CFDA 47.076 program provides $1,039,185.00 over 5 years starting October 1, 2023. The project aims to develop and investigate a model for engaging place-bound, diverse students in undergraduate research experiences that combine course-based activities and traditional apprenticeship opportunities. The research will focus on advancing knowledge about the urban heat island effect in Albuquerque, with findings contributing to the National Integrated Heat Health Information System. The project has three key objectives: 1) strengthen STEM persistence, 2) develop students' content knowledge and research skills, and 3) create an operational framework for a year-long course-based undergraduate research experience. A mixed methods study will investigate the project's outputs, outcomes, implementation, and fidelity to the logic model.
