This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program provides $299,906 to Florida International University to develop and implement the Deep Teaching Residency, a year-long faculty development program. The program aims to build a community of scholar-educators committed to developing and evaluating inclusive teaching practices in undergraduate STEM courses. Over two years, two cohorts of 24 STEM instructors each will participate in a preparatory summer workshop and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop a visual tool to promote inclusivity in STEM environments. The $623,267 award will fund research using an iterative design process to create a tool for countering racial microaggressions experienced by underrepresented minority students in STEM settings. The tool, called the STEM Educator Series on Student Interactions (SESSI), will be grounded in psychological...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The "ILLINOIS ADVANCE ADAPTATION (I-ADVANCE): EQUIPPING AND MOBILIZING EQUITY-MINDED LEADERS AND ADVOCATES" project aims to implement evidence-based practices that foster a climate of equity in STEM departments at the university. Key objectives include: Developing a centralized faculty workload dashboard to improve...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program ($106,679) supports the development of a model to understand instructor implementation of evidence-based teaching practices. Awarded February 1, 2023 for a three-year period concluding January 31, 2026, this collaboration between Yale University, SUNY-Binghamton, and the University of Connecticut aims to identify why some instructors continue to adopt evidence-based teaching methods after professional development...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $246,857 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to improve and broaden participation in undergraduate STEM education through faculty professional development. Specifically, the American Association of Physics Teachers, American Astronomical Society, and American Physical Society will redesign and expand their successful physics and astronomy faculty workshops to focus on developing individualized plans...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to support faculty and student learning of equity-minded and student-centered pedagogy through iterative curricular co-design. The $399,896 award to the CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation, a non-profit Hispanic-Serving Institution, will implement a professional development model that provides STEM faculty the knowledge, time, and support to design instructional innovations...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program, formerly known as Education and Human Resources, totaling $421,171 will fund the development of a model to understand instructor implementation of evidence-based teaching practices. Yale University is the primary awardee and will collaborate with the State University of New York at Binghamton and the University of Connecticut on this project awarded February 1, 2023 with a projected completion date of January 31,...
This Project Grant award of $149,986 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research synthesis study led by the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Mississippi. The study aims to identify the barriers and solutions in postsecondary STEM training settings for undergraduate students with disabilities. The research team will engage with an expert advisory board and postsecondary students with disabilities to...
This $327,745 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to transform undergraduate engineering education to create more inclusive learning environments. The project, titled "FROM CORNERSTONE TO CAPSTONE AND BEYOND: TRANSFORMING ENGINEERING TEAMING TO SUPPORT A DIVERSE AND EMPOWERED ENGINEERING COMMUNITY", will develop and validate scalable inclusive teamwork models to foster a sense of belonging for...
This federal Project Grant award for $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program is focused on developing a theory of how STEM instructors can better support students with non-apparent disabilities such as learning disabilities, ADHD, and psychiatric conditions. The award will fund research to understand the experiences and perspectives of both STEM students with disabilities and their instructors, using a journey mapping methodology. The goal is to...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop a guidebook and training resources to advance inclusive teaching strategies for undergraduate STEM instructors. The key products include:
Conducting additional quantitative analyses and creating an integrated framework of inclusive teaching development based on data from the Inclusive STEM Teaching Project.
Creating a Faculty Inclusive Teaching Survey (FITS) Guidebook with validated survey constructs, qualitative themes, instruments, and implementation guidance.
Providing training to the STEM education community on the FITS Guidebook at three levels - short-duration workshops, high-engagement workshops, and follow-up workshops to share implementation experiences.
The project will evaluate progress and impact through engagement with an advisory board and data collection. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the lead institution, with a sub-award to the University of Utah for quantitative research and guidebook development support. The project period is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026.
