The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $239,925 Project Grant under its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa. The grant, titled "Integrating Project-and-Place-Based Research Experiences to Increase Persistence in STEM Undergraduate Students (PERSIST 2)," aims to improve the development of research skills and positive attitudes toward science in undergraduate biology and chemistry majors through active learning experiences.

The project will expand on the previous NSF-funded PERSIST program by: (1) offering the enhanced curriculum to all incoming biology and chemistry majors at Morningside University, (2) introducing a new service-learning short course, (3) engaging a broader group of STEM faculty, (4) training and mentoring a postdoctoral teaching fellow, and (5) disseminating project innovations through publications, presentations, and workshops. The goal is to create a widely applicable model of STEM undergraduate engagement in project-based and service learning to improve success for all students.
