This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $374,232 to Kansas City Kansas Community College (KCKCC) aims to establish a faculty network to expand undergraduate research opportunities across STEM disciplines at the community college. The key products and services to be delivered include:
-
Increasing the number of STEM courses using course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) to potentially impact over 500 students each semester.
-
Implementing professional development activities focused on curriculum development, research experience design, and assessment practices to engage and support student success.
-
Expanding the adoption of the CURE model across the broader community college and regional ecosystem through partnerships, dissemination at conferences, and campus-based programming.
The overarching goal is to create a robust research culture and programmatic assessment plan that will foster long-term sustainability of these undergraduate research opportunities, ultimately supporting the community college's mission to effectively educate and train future STEM professionals.
