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 transfer partnerships across institutions. The project also plans to foster a reciprocal community of research-practitioners to support discipline-specific transfer programs and career preparation. Findings from this 10/1/2025 to 3/31/2028 project are expected to inform education policy and improve transfer program design to enhance outcomes for the nation's future STEM professionals.
