This $3,000,000 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to establish a Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) STEM Hub for Innovation in Numeracy Education (HSI-SHINE). The project will improve students' numeracy skills, train faculty at HSIs to teach these skills more effectively, and develop a national repository of numeracy resources for faculty and students at HSIs. Key activities include providing professional development for faculty in quantitative reasoning and data analysis, developing an online numeracy training platform, and establishing community-based data analysis research programs that apply quantitative skills to real-world problems. The project also plans to integrate co-requisite math instruction and create a resource repository connecting students with internships, job opportunities, and educational pathways. The five-year project, with an award period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2030, is being led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - Lehman College, a non-profit, Hispanic-Serving Institution.
