This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop a model to enhance faculty mentoring of undergraduate students in research at Towson University. The $749,947 award, effective June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027, will establish a mentoring ecosystem where post-course-based research experience undergraduates interact with faculty and each other to build scientific identities and prepare for research-related careers. Through community of practice activities, the project will assess the impact on student and faculty scientist identities, faculty mentoring development, and students' pursuit of STEM careers. Effective mentoring practices will be disseminated beyond Towson University to benefit students in research programs at other institutions.
