This $799,997 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), supports the "HSI Implementation and Evaluation Project: Broadening STEM Participation through Authentic Learning Experience" at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). The project aims to improve the diversity and availability of the STEM educational pipeline by studying how a sense of belonging in STEM and motivation to solve real-world, culturally-connected problems can enhance the professional STEM identity and career intentions of underrepresented minority students at the HSI. The project will develop a sustainable undergraduate STEM education program, create opportunities for interdisciplinary and project-based learning, and disseminate findings through publications, presentations, and career connections with employers in the assistive technology field. This award, effective from August 2024 to May 2025, reflects NSF's mission to support research and education initiatives that broaden participation and build capacity at HSIs.
