The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,722,305 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. This grant, awarded on June 1, 2024, supports the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEOPATHS:GO: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH STUDENT EXPERIENCES ABOARD SHIPS (STEMSEAS)" project.
Through this project, Columbia University partners with Indiana University of Pennsylvania, University of California Berkeley, Morgan State University, and the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) to increase the number and diversity of students pursuing degrees and careers in the geosciences. The project aims to achieve this by providing undergraduate students from across the U.S., including those from two-year colleges and Historically Black Colleges and Universities, with short (~6-10 day) hands-on research experiences aboard oceanographic vessels. These immersive at-sea experiences expose students to geoscience professional practices and career exploration, contributing to the evidence base for effective student engagement, learning, and retention in STEM fields.
