This National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) Track 2 award of $954,032 provides funding for the California State University Wellbeing Alliance for Research Masters (CSU WARM) project. The goal of CSU WARM is to examine how mental health and wellbeing relate to the academic success of students pursuing graduate degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
The project involves several key components: 1) Developing and deploying a mobile app to track graduate students' mental wellbeing daily and provide referrals to support resources when needed, 2) Establishing student-led graduate councils at each of the four participating CSU campuses to design and implement interventions to support student wellbeing, and 3) Conducting research to understand how graduate program features, use of the wellbeing app, and targeted interventions impact student wellbeing, non-cognitive factors, and academic outcomes. Sub-awards are planned for the California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. and The University Corporation at California State University, Northridge to support implementation and data collection at their respective campuses. The project aims to generate insights that can be shared broadly to improve wellbeing and success for STEM graduate students.
