- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award, provided under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to create tools that will enable college instructors to integrate computational physics methods into their undergraduate physics courses and assess their students' learning against standardized objectives. The $460,849 award, with a performance period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028, will be used by a team of researchers at five Midwestern universities to develop seven student...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award of $136,651 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) is supporting research at The Ohio State University to explore the barriers and supports encountered by undergraduate and graduate physics students and early career physicists with disabilities. The goal is to provide information to college instructors and professional mentors to make physics more accessible and inclusive for persons with disabilities pursuing physics careers. The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $295,907 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076). The project aims to integrate computation as a standard problem-solving tool throughout the undergraduate physics curriculum at the university. Key activities include establishing a departmental process to sustain changes to the...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $589,739 Project Grant to the University of Virginia under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and implement a faculty development model focusing on student-centered pedagogical practices that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in undergraduate physics and astronomy education. Working with partners from the University of Washington Bothell and University of Arizona, the University of Virginia will redesign existing physics and...
- This $285,469 National Science Foundation project grant supports Florida International University in developing culturally responsive curriculum for introductory algebra-based physics courses. Funded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the three-year "Project Empower" aims to improve physics education effectiveness and inclusion through collaborative curriculum design with undergraduate student participants. Students will help identify career-relevant physics...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,999 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to The Ohio State University, with a period of performance from June 15, 2024 to May 31, 2026. The project, titled "INCLUDES NETWORK CONNECTOR: A NETWORK TO FACILITATE TRANSFORMING INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS COURSES TO SUPPORT ALL STUDENTS", aims to create a network that will redesign introductory physics sequences to better support students with varying levels of math preparation. Key objectives include: 1) documenting and disseminating successful models of introductory physics sequences, 2) evaluating the effectiveness of redesigned physics sequences, and 3) developing curricular materials focused on quantitative literacy in physics. The project will implement similar redesigned courses at 3 additional physics departments and produce resources to support quantitative literacy integration in introductory physics.
