This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) to the California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. supports a collaborative research project examining cognitive and linguistic barriers to improving diversity in STEM fields. The $721,526 award over 3 years from September 2023 to August 2026 will fund 5 large-scale studies to investigate how generalization and generic language development affect science learning, communication, and perceptions of social inequities. The project aims to elucidate barriers to diversifying STEM and identify feasible ways to counteract them, while also providing mentoring and training in research methods to a diverse group of undergraduate and graduate students at minority-serving institutions. This interdisciplinary effort bridges psychology, philosophy, and linguistics to better understand how cognitive and communicative factors can hinder progress in expanding participation in STEM fields.
