This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education federal Project Grant award (CFDA 47.076) to Clark Atlanta University provides $396,897 to develop and implement curricular modules that integrate data science skills into the undergraduate social work curriculum. The project aims to serve the national interest by creating course content that models how to apply data science to address human and social challenges, particularly for marginalized groups. Over the 3-year project period from October 2024 to September 2027, the team will develop modules for 3 core social work courses and redesign 3 elective courses to reach approximately 60 junior and senior social work students. The project will evaluate the impact of these data science-infused modules on student capabilities, career ambitions, and post-graduation plans. Additionally, the team will host a symposium and develop a manual to share best practices for integrating data science into social science programs at peer institutions.
