This NSF STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $2,230,149 to Mississippi State University will support a collaborative research hub focused on increasing the retention, graduation, and STEM career participation of rural, low-income college students.

The award will fund the development of a strategic alliance among five rural-serving institutions (RSIs) to conduct research on factors influencing the belonging, persistence, and academic/career outcomes of this student population. Key project activities include:

  1. Gathering and analyzing data from rural, low-income students participating in NSF S-STEM scholarship programs to develop a deeper understanding of their experiences.

  2. Providing capacity-building and technical support to enable STEM faculty at RSIs to research the role of belonging in rural student success.

  3. Disseminating research findings to the broader community of rural-serving institutions on effective interventions to support rural, low-income STEM students.

This project aims to address gaps in research on how to better serve this underrepresented group and contribute to building a strong, diverse STEM workforce, particularly in rural communities.
