This $555,943 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop and evaluate new educational materials that leverage diverse scientist role models to improve equity and success in undergraduate STEM education, particularly in biology. The lead awardee, Michigan State University, will design teaching resources that combine scientist success stories with data literacy activities. These materials will be tested across a network of introductory biology classrooms nationwide to understand the impact on student outcomes like career aspirations, quantitative biology interest, and science identity. The project will result in a set of freely available, evidence-based educational resources highlighting the stories of scientist role models from underrepresented groups. The award period runs from May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2028.
