This Project Grant award, valued at $290,325.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research to understand the experiences and career trajectories of women in non-tenure track faculty roles in engineering. The key objectives are to investigate how women graduate students, non-tenure track faculty, and tenure-track faculty perceive and navigate their academic career paths, in order to identify mechanisms and interventions...
This Project Grant award of $613,946 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a 12-year longitudinal study on the influence of climate, social networks, and cultural models on the retention of women and racially/ethnically marginalized engineers in graduate school and the workforce. The project follows approximately 2,100 engineering graduate students, professors, and industry professionals from 11 universities to understand the factors that impact...
This $352,085 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will explore the professional development and career retention of early-career women of color in engineering. The research project will use qualitative methods and narrative inquiry to follow the stories and experiences of these women, tracing their professional journeys and identifying strategies that enable them to navigate the cultural and professional challenges in the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Engineering Education and Centers (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) provides $199,982 to Northwestern University to conduct research on how the professional identities of engineering research mentors (ERMs) impact their mentoring approaches and relationships with graduate students. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the engineering identity (EI) and research science identity (RSI) of ERMs through surveys and implicit...
This Project Grant award of $126,043.00, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to establish best practices for improving mentorship, learning, and engagement in undergraduate research experiences (UREs) in engineering. The primary goals are to: Implement, adapt, and study the outcomes of an existing toolkit of interventions and best practices that create structured reflection and mentoring activities within engineering UREs...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $300,000 supports the development and assessment of a virtual peer mentoring model to broaden participation and persistence of women in STEM. Specifically, the University of Memphis will create and test a virtual peer mentoring intervention among women students from diverse racial and personal backgrounds enrolled in residential and online STEM programs from 2022-2025. Through its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), NSF aims to improve STEM...
This Project Grant award of $139,660 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to establish practices to improve mentorship, learning, and engagement in undergraduate research experiences (UREs) in engineering. The primary goals are to implement, adapt, and study the outcomes of an existing toolkit of interventions and best practices that create structured reflection and mentoring activities within engineering UREs across five institutions....
This Project Grant award of $349,999 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports a two-year mixed-methods study investigating the impact of structured student support programs on the academic success, retention, and degree completion of undergraduate engineering students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The research project aims to identify practices that foster community, academic confidence, and positive engineering...
This Project Grant award of $654,558.00 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund a 5-year research study at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) to understand and model the career decision-making of economically disadvantaged engineering students and faculty. The study will employ a longitudinal, mixed-methods approach to investigate how factors like financial stress and scarcity impact the career choices of undergraduate engineering students...
This $1.5 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund Bridgewater State University's efforts to improve STEM undergraduate student outcomes through partnerships, mentoring, and high-impact practices.
