This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to improve accessibility and inclusion in undergraduate physics education. The $229,866 project led by the University of Connecticut, in collaboration with Michigan State University, will develop professional development workshops for both physics faculty and disabled STEM students. The workshops will focus on 1) promoting accessibility and inclusive teaching practices in physics courses, and 2) facilitating partnerships between faculty and disabled students to support their career readiness and navigation of STEM fields. The project will investigate the impact of this professional development model, with the potential to serve as a replicable approach for other STEM disciplines. The award period is from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
