This Project Grant award of $149,986 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research synthesis study conducted by the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Mississippi. The research aims to identify barriers and solutions in postsecondary STEM settings for undergraduate students with disabilities. The goal is to increase the engagement, retention, degree completion, and career advancement of this population in STEM fields, which is critical for building a robust U.S. STEM workforce. The research team is engaging with an expert advisory board and students with disabilities to contribute to the systematic review, which will analyze published findings informed by theoretical frameworks. The results of this 3-year project will be widely disseminated to enable replication of the research synthesis.
