This federal Project Grant award of $349,994 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a research project titled "Identifying Factors that Impact Success and Persistence in Computer Science Education - The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP)". The project aims to create and advance theory-driven models and innovations that promote student success and retention in STEM fields at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It establishes a collaborative network of HBCU computing departments to investigate how institutional and departmental factors influence undergraduate computing students' persistence and career aspirations. The study employs a mixed-methods research design to collect and analyze data through surveys, document reviews, and interviews. The findings will contribute to a best practices catalog to inform institutional strategies for enhancing computing education and strengthen retention efforts in undergraduate STEM programs. The project is led by Morehouse College Inc., a private HBCU in Atlanta, Georgia, and involves data collection partnerships with several other HBCU institutions.
