- 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 $193,940 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to research factors that influence the retention and graduation of high-achieving, low-income students in STEM fields. The project will develop a strategic alliance among rural-serving institutions (RSIs) to collaborate on research about belonging and support for rural, low-income STEM students. Key activities include building and managing rural serving institution...
- This $1.69 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support scholarships for 105 low-income students pursuing STEM degrees over six years at four Montana institutions. The University of Montana leads this collaboration with Salish Kootenai College, Blackfeet Community College, and Montana Technological University. The project aims to increase STEM retention and graduation rates through individual mentoring, peer support networks,...
- This $375,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the "Circle of Champions" initiative at Gavilan Joint Community College District, a Hispanic Serving Institution in California. The project aims to close the academic completion gap for Latina/o STEM students by leveraging their social capital and community cultural wealth. Key activities include implementing the Circle of Champions framework to organize...
- This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve understanding of the transfer student experience in STEM education. The project, led by Mt. San Antonio Community College District, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, will conduct a mixed-methods investigation to characterize the lived experiences of community college STEM students, create a longitudinal database tracking their progress, and analyze the structures of...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $2,499,950 to Minnesota State Colleges & Universities (operating as Bemidji State University) will support a six-year program to increase STEM degree completion rates for academically talented, low-income undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need. The project aims to recruit and retain two cohorts of 55 diverse STEM scholars, graduate 80% within four years, and have at least 90% obtain...
This $2,100,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and implement a comprehensive model for transforming STEM education at a rural Hispanic-Serving Institution, Heritage University, located in Toppenish, Washington. The project has two primary objectives: 1) enhancing STEM identity in institutional leadership to transform student support networks, and 2) developing innovative experiential learning opportunities across STEM disciplines. This institutional transformation project will address academic achievement gaps in STEM fields by fostering strong STEM identities at both the institutional and student levels. Through structured dialogue, professional development, and increased leadership engagement, the project will contribute new understanding of how community-based institutions can effectively support all students while preparing them for the global STEM workforce. Additionally, the project will employ multiple research methods, including photovoice documentation, to investigate how backgrounds and experiences found in community-based institutions influence STEM identity development and to identify effective knowledge transfer approaches for students to develop STEM identities in varied educational contexts. The project's outcomes are expected to create a model for other institutions across the United States to follow.
