The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,258,941 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) to create a culture of STEM research at a two-year college. The project aims to develop and implement an array of early undergraduate research experiences for diverse STEM students at CCBC, prior to transferring to a four-year university. Key objectives include creating STEM research courses, providing student research stipends and conference participation, and assessing the impact of these early research experiences on student success, retention, and transfer outcomes. This study will capture qualitative and quantitative data to better understand how sustained research participation affects STEM student trajectories at two-year institutions.
