The project aims to: (1) identify community assets and systemic barriers to recruiting and supporting STEM teacher candidates from underrepresented populations; (2) develop strategies for preparing STEM teacher candidates to enact culturally sustaining pedagogies; and (3) advance...
This $188,167 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports research to address racial inequities in STEM teacher preparation programs. The project is a collaborative effort led by Washington State University, which will: Identify community assets and systemic barriers to recruiting and supporting STEM teacher candidates from underrepresented populations; Develop strategies for preparing STEM teacher candidates to employ...
This $712,744 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "A Student Asset-Based Approach to the Formation of Equitable Teams (SAFE Teams)" focused on promoting equity in team experiences for Black and Latinx students in engineering and computer science courses. The research team, which includes partners from the University of South Florida, Virginia...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) provides $1,188,830 to George Mason University to address racial equity in engineering education by enhancing the awareness and knowledge of engineering faculty to better support Black engineering graduate students. The 5-year project aims to disrupt cycles of microaggressions, lack of support, and systemic barriers experienced by Black students through a comprehensive program that builds faculty...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $733,633 to Arizona State University (ASU) to address racial equity in engineering education. The project aims to enhance the awareness and knowledge of engineering faculty to better support Black engineering graduate students, who often face microaggressions, lack of support, and systemic barriers that impede their academic success and well-being. Over 5 years, the project...
This $105,673 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports a collaborative research project focused on advancing racial equity in STEM teacher education. The project aims to: (1) identify community assets and systemic barriers to recruiting and supporting STEM teacher candidates from historically underrepresented populations; (2) develop strategies for preparing STEM teacher candidates to enact culturally sustaining pedagogies; and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) provides $205,534 to the West Virginia University Research Corporation to develop and test the Equity Departmental Action Team (EDAT) model, a new racial equity-focused approach to driving change within STEM departments at minority-serving institutions.
The project aims to combine existing change models to create the EDAT framework, which will focus on shifting departmental cultures to better support and center the experiences of individuals with historically marginalized racial and ethnic identities. The project will pilot the EDAT model at the University of Colorado Denver, a minority-serving institution, and simultaneously conduct research to refine the model. Findings from this work will then be disseminated through partnerships with national higher education associations. This collaborative research effort seeks to advance the scholarship on racial equity in STEM education and workforce development.
