The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $692,479 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Wisconsin System to study the links between STEM career pathway persistence and social support networks among rural STEM university students. The two-phase, mixed-methods study aims to advance knowledge on the characteristics that make rural STEM student support networks unique, how these networks associate with STEM career persistence, and how students perceive these issues in their daily lives. Using social network analysis and social capital theory, the researchers will administer online surveys and conduct interviews with a panel of rural and non-rural STEM students across eight public universities in Wisconsin over an approximately 3-year project period from September 2025 to August 2028. The findings are expected to contribute significantly to building new theories that support STEM career development for students, particularly those from rural backgrounds.
