This $399,900 Project Grant awarded on August 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports efforts by Florida Memorial University (FMU) to improve retention and graduation rates of minority students in STEM and nuclear science disciplines. The key products and services to be delivered through this award include:
- Enhancing STEM and nuclear laboratory infrastructure and teaching competencies at FMU to improve student learning outcomes.
- Creating a professor and student-led learning community to provide academic year and summer research experiences for STEM and nuclear students.
- Implementing supplemental instruction, mentoring, and early research exposure to strengthen students' critical thinking skills.
This project aims to serve as a model for other minority-serving institutions to address the national shortage of diverse, skilled STEM professionals, particularly in nuclear science fields. FMU will implement these activities on its campus in Opa-locka, FL over the 3-year project period ending on July 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
