- The National Science Foundation awarded a $699,068 Project Grant to Los Angeles Harbor College under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to develop data science education and workforce pathways. The college will create two stackable Data Analyst certificates designed to provide technician-level skills for entry-level "big data" employment. Educational pathways integrating established STEM degrees will be developed to provide students a...
- This three-year, $1,110,166 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will leverage partnerships among data scientists, researchers, data science education experts and teachers to develop secondary students' data acumen, decision making using data, and use of data tools. The project has three key goals: 1) Create data sets to engage high school students in the data life cycle, 2) Co-design curricular materials with teachers and data science...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $400,000 to Albany State University to enhance the educational framework of the biology and forensic science programs by infusing data science competencies. The key activities include: Training faculty in data science techniques to enable them to implement data science modules in existing courses and develop new upper-level courses. Engaging students in course-based and mentored...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,349,744 Project Grant to Illinois State University under the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM Education) program (CFDA 47.076). The grant will support a project to advance STEM education and career pathways for 320 high school students from four Chicago-area schools and community organizations serving underrepresented populations. The project aims to increase student knowledge and interest in STEM and ICT careers...
- This $564,686 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports Loyola University of Chicago in providing pre-service secondary science and mathematics teachers authentic STEM research experiences in biodiversity studies through a summer program. Over five years, the university aims to mentor 40 prospective teachers pursuing biology, ecology, or environmental science degrees through hands-on research and professional development opportunities...
This $1,189,505 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will establish an ecosystem of pathways to data science education and careers for youth on the South Side of Chicago. The project is a collaboration between the University of Chicago, Olive-Harvey Community College, Gary Comer Educational Campus, Chicago State University, and XChange Chicago. Over the three-year project period from October 2025 to September 2028, the partners will create four pathway entry points: high school after-school programming, high school data science courses, a community college data science certificate, and a university-level data science minor and major. The project will focus on engaging youth in the community, increasing their understanding of data science, and preparing them for data science-related careers. Assessments of student learning and program evaluations will be conducted to inform continuous improvements to the pathways.
