- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) a $499,425 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program. The 4-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will support the integration of interdisciplinary curriculum and collaborative teaching methods across RPI's Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering (MANE) department. Key objectives include transforming the department's teaching culture,...
- This three-year $177,272 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will establish an REU site titled "STEM Research for Social Change" at a collaborative partnership among the University of Dayton, Central State University, and St. Mary's University. The purpose is to support interdisciplinary STEM research addressing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, with a focus on engaging underrepresented minority and...
- This $1,075,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program will allow Montana State University to establish a Bridge to Doctorate activity that supports 12 underrepresented minority students, particularly American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students, in pursuing STEM doctoral degrees. The project will implement evidence-based recruitment and retention practices, provide mentorship and professional development...
- This two-year, $599,255 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund research exploring career trajectories and outcomes of marginalized groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) doctoral programs. The principal investigators at the National Opinion Research Center will employ mixed methods to analyze survey data from current and recent doctoral students at three North Carolina institutions. The project aims to...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $185,093 Project Grant to the National Consortium For Graduate Degrees For Minorities In Engineering And Science Inc. under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The Consortium will deliver internship and graduate degree support services to increase diversity in STEM fields. Specifically, it will provide 12 underrepresented minority students pursuing graduate degrees in chemistry, physics, and chemical/environmental engineering...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $353,389 Project Grant under the NSF 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 engineering doctoral programs. The 5-year project has two key goals: 1) researching the factors that lead to successful transitions into engineering doctoral programs for underrepresented students, and 2) developing sustainable RDI program models that institutions can adapt to support these students locally. The project will include hosting an RDI program in Year 1 and using quantitative and qualitative research methods to uncover best practices. The findings will inform the creation of context-appropriate RDI models for implementation at partner institutions to drive systemic change and improve outcomes for underrepresented engineering doctoral students.
