Project Grant 2448349
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $499,730 will support the University of Arizona to implement and evaluate academic support interventions aimed at improving retention and academic performance for underserved students in civil engineering programs through 2026. Funded by the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), this HSI Implementation and Evaluation Project will develop and assess a comprehensive set of evidence-based activities including peer and faculty mentoring, academic...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $366,778 to The University Corporation, a non-profit organization affiliated with California State University, Northridge (CSUN), a Hispanic-Serving Institution. The project will examine how faculty communication influences the development of engineering identity among Latinx undergraduate students at CSUN, particularly during the critical "sophomore slump"...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $353,389 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Ohio State University to research and develop a model for the Rising Doctoral Institute (RDI), a program aimed at improving the transition and success of underrepresented minority students in obtaining engineering doctoral degrees. The five-year project will: (1) investigate the factors that lead to successful doctoral student transitions for underrepresented students, and...
- This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the University of Arizona, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and California State Polytechnic University Pomona in enhancing pathways for low-income, high-achieving students to earn PhDs in mathematical sciences fields. The three Hispanic-serving institutions will collaborate to develop deeper connections to tackle obstacles these students face in getting admitted to...
- This $100,000 one-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to support Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) through two key activities. First, it will provide competitive on-campus STEM employment and mentorship opportunities for undergraduate students at five HSIs. This will enhance students' academic and social engagement, as well as provide culturally-relevant mentorship to develop their STEM skills and knowledge. Second, the...
- This $113,370 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to transform introductory engineering courses at a Hispanic-serving two-year college. The goal is to enhance student success and interest in pursuing STEM degrees through a project-based learning approach. The award will fund the development of quasi-independent, low-cost classroom materials and curricula that provide early-career engineering students with significant...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program award of $654,558 to The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) will fund a 5-year project focused on understanding and modeling the career decision-making of undergraduate engineering students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The project will employ a longitudinal, mixed-methods approach to investigate how factors like financial stress and a "scarcity mindset" impact the career choices of economically...
- The National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program has awarded a $499,989 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to implement the "HSI IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION PROJECT: INTEGRATED NETWORKING, SCHOLARSHIP, AND PEER MENTORING OF FRESHMEN ENGINEERS FOR INCREASED ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND GRADUATION RATES." This 5-year project aims to provide academic and social support to UCSB engineering and computer science freshmen with "effectors...
- This four-year, $2.27 million project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to transform STEM education for Latinx students at two-year Hispanic Serving Institutions. Led by Arizona State University, the grant will establish STEM planning teams as communities of practice at 16 institutions to conduct college-wide STEM assessments, develop multi-year STEM plans, and implement evidence-based solutions to close achievement gaps. Project...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $800,000 aims to "demystify the transition of women, Black, Indigenous, and people of color into faculty positions" in engineering. The 5-year project, awarded to the University of Akron, will provide: (i) 1-year professional training to prepare Ph.D. students and postdoctoral participants for careers as engineering professors; (ii) training and resources for other universities to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) for $395,706 will support a study on how Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) in engineering can better support the success of Latino doctoral students. The award, granted to The Ohio State University, will employ a multi-case study methodology to longitudinally examine the experiences of Latino engineering doctoral students at two different types of engineering HSIs: the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and Arizona State University. The goal is to lay the foundation for HSIs to effectively empower Latino students to lead research and innovation through their doctoral engineering programs. This research project aims to provide critical insights into how the "servingness" of HSIs can directly impact the experiences and success of Latino engineering doctoral students.
