This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports Bay Mills Community College, a tribal college and 1994 Land Grant Institution in Michigan, in developing and enhancing its science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program offerings and capacity.
The funding will enable Bay Mills Community College to develop four new science courses (Biology I, Biology II, Chemistry I, and Chemistry II) and explore the feasibility of establishing a Bachelor of Science in Science degree program. Additionally, the college will offer summer science camps for local middle and high school students to strengthen the STEM pipeline and prepare incoming students. These activities are designed to expand STEM curricular offerings, increase research opportunities, and provide a more robust transfer curriculum for students seeking upper-level STEM education, ultimately supporting the institution's goal of increasing STEM instructional and research capacity. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of February 15, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027.
