This $649,751 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to create and study the effectiveness of early research experiences for two-year college chemistry and biology students at Georgia State University, Perimeter College, a predominantly Black institution. The project will develop adaptable research opportunities using common resources, provide student stipends to incentivize participation, and support participation in undergraduate research symposia. The goal is to strengthen STEM identity and interest in STEM careers among this student population. The grant recipient, Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc., will partner with an external evaluator to assess the impact of the research experiences on students' STEM interest, readiness for further research, and STEM identity development. The project results will be broadly disseminated to the two-year college STEM community.
