- This $172,921 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research and development to improve organic chemistry education. The University of Northern Colorado will conduct three studies and develop instructional materials to better understand how undergraduate students learn from and apply different molecular representations in organic chemistry problem solving. Specifically, the university will randomly assign problem sets using chemical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) awarded a $299,134 Project Grant to the University of South Florida (USF) to develop assessment tools for evaluating students' understanding of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. The 3-year project aims to design computer-based scoring models using machine learning text analysis to assess students' written explanations of organic chemistry concepts. The project will also provide professional development...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to engage undergraduate students at the University of San Francisco as active agents in reforming the chemistry curriculum. The $179,218 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will support the adaptation and implementation of a "Scientist Spotlights" intervention. This intervention enables diverse students to author reflective assignments exploring...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $299,636 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to The University of Iowa. This grant aims to characterize how undergraduate chemistry students engage in science practices and to develop assessment resources that instructors can use to provide feedback and evaluate student performance on these skills. The project will observe student behaviors and analyze work products in introductory, organic, and advanced chemistry...
- This $340,808 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under CFDA 47.076 STEM Education program aims to identify the foundational concepts and skills in materials chemistry research. Awarded to the Reed Institute in Portland, OR, the 3-year project will survey postdoctoral researchers to map the materials chemistry skills and concepts widely used in research. This understanding will inform the development of materials chemistry curriculum and competencies, helping to build the nation's...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,826,261 to Beyond Benign, Inc. to accelerate the training of college and university faculty in teaching students about safer and more sustainable approaches to chemical product design, known as green chemistry. The project aims to increase the adoption of green chemistry in undergraduate programs across the United States through faculty professional development and the establishment of educator support networks. This effort aligns with the National Science Foundation's mission to promote scientific progress and advance national prosperity, as green chemistry is essential for STEM students to develop skills for innovating viable, sustainable solutions. The award has an end date of August 31, 2030.
