This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to advance understanding of the career choice processes for STEM scholars from underrepresented groups. The $291,780 award to the University of Wisconsin - Madison will fund a longitudinal qualitative study to explore the factors that inform the decision-making of STEM scholars, particularly around perceptions of value alignment between their personal values and academia. The project...
This $599,868 National Science Foundation award under the STEM Education Postdoctoral Research Fellowship program will support research and training to create more inclusive undergraduate research experiences for low socioeconomic students in life sciences. Over a two-year period from September 2022 through August 2024, the awardee Arizona State University will conduct interviews and a nationwide survey to identify factors impacting low-SES student researchers. This research aims to understand...
This $670,106 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to investigate STEM faculty's expectations for the assimilation of racially marginalized and minoritized (RMM) students into the normative science culture. The key objectives are to define and validate a measure of faculty science assimilation beliefs, and to examine the prevalence and influence of these beliefs among a nationwide sample of STEM faculty. The project...
This $290,325 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research to enhance understanding of the experiences and career trajectories of women in non-tenure track faculty roles in engineering. The research aims to identify key mechanisms that influence women's career decisions in academia and the factors that support their transitions from non-tenure track to tenure-track roles. The project will involve interviews with...
This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports research to understand how socioeconomic heterogeneity within the U.S. scientific workforce impacts scientific discovery and innovation. The project aims to (i) create a unique individual-level dataset linking researcher socioeconomic backgrounds to scholarly topics, (ii) make an anonymized version of this dataset publicly available, (iii)...
This $1,568,526 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to identify and address systemic barriers in promotion and tenure processes that disadvantage underrepresented minority (URM) faculty, particularly URM women, in STEM disciplines. The 5-year project, led by a consortium of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), has two key objectives: 1) determine the theoretical...
This two-year, $599,255 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund research exploring career trajectories and outcomes of marginalized groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) doctoral programs. The principal investigators at the National Opinion Research Center will employ mixed methods to analyze survey data from current and recent doctoral students at three North Carolina institutions. The project aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $151,662 to the University of Washington to investigate how academic institutions can partner with local communities to address systemic barriers and inequities in recruiting and supporting students from underrepresented groups into STEM teacher preparation programs. The project aims to (1) identify community assets and barriers, (2) develop strategies for preparing STEM teacher...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a $299,181 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to the University of Colorado to study the mechanisms that lead to a lack of diversity in computer science (CS) research subfields. The three-part study includes in-depth interviews, textual analysis of subfield discourse, and a large-scale survey to quantify participation of domestic racial minorities in CS subfields. The goal is to develop a...

This $160,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports an early career scientist's postdoctoral research at the University of Washington. The research aims to investigate how to increase representation of underrepresented groups in tenure-track science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) faculty positions. Specifically, the project will examine how the defaults or default beliefs about desirable attributes in faculty recruitment impact the motivation of diverse applicants to pursue these positions. The research will employ correlational and experimental methods to: 1) assess whether job ad defaults reduce application rates and increase perceptions of partiality, 2) determine if faculty endorse heterogeneous versus inclusive job ads based on beliefs about applicant quality, and 3) test an intervention to increase faculty endorsement of inclusive job ads. This work is intended to provide evidence on the importance of broadening the defaults considered for faculty success to enhance representation in STEM tenure-track positions. No sub-awards are planned under this award, which has a project period from September 2024 to April 2025.
