- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $142,960.00, effective January 15, 2024 through February 28, 2025, aims to build capacity in the two-year college (2YC) geoscience community to develop, write, and submit proposals to NSF programs. The award will fund a seven-day virtual workshop to mentor 2YC faculty on the grant proposal development process, focusing on NSF programs in the Division of Undergraduate Education and Directorate for Geosciences. The workshop will...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $350,000 to investigate how members of STEM teams build relationships through knowledge transfer from professional development activities. The project will allow the Principal Investigator (PI) to develop skills in qualitative research methods, including interviewing, and gain practical experience in STEM education research. The findings will be shared through professional development...
- This $634,856 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance equity-minded pedagogical change in the geosciences field. The project will leverage formative interventions to design and implement two learning environments: 1) an 8-hour short course for instructors to learn how racial exploitation and settler colonialism have shaped the history and current practices of the geosciences, and 2) a 2-day in-person workshop to provide...
- This Project Grant award of $188,180 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to conduct virtual workshops and post-workshop activities to support and mentor two-year college geoscience faculty in developing, writing, and submitting proposals for funded STEM education improvement initiatives. The project is a collaboration between three two-year colleges and seeks to: introduce participants to relevant funding opportunities, foster a...
- This Project Grant award of $222,468.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to conduct virtual workshops and post-workshop activities to support and mentor two-year college geoscience faculty in developing and submitting proposals for funded STEM education improvement initiatives. The overarching goal is to assist two-year colleges in securing grant funding to support institutional goals and contribute to the STEM education community. Key objectives...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $348,587.00 and issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports the development of advanced statistical modeling skills by the Principal Investigator (PI) to better understand factors influencing undergraduate student persistence in STEM fields. The PI will complete statistical coursework and work with a mentor team to build complex statistical models using data from the Higher Education Research...
- This $119,548 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development and delivery of introductory geoscience lessons at the University of South Carolina aimed at quantifying the relationship between instructional reform practices, student learning, and student attitudes. Specifically, the grantee will design lessons delivered at varying levels of reformed teaching methodology as measured by the Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol and Classroom Observation Protocol for...
- This federal Project Grant award of $123,502.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to advance understanding of the role departments play in transforming undergraduate STEM education. The award, with a performance period from August 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, funds a collaborative research effort led by the University of Southern Mississippi in partnership with the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado State University, and Western Michigan...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $303,700 to Western Washington University (WWU) aims to create a teaching tool to help students learn to work more effectively in teams in physics education. The project will develop a flexible set of lessons designed to improve students' socio-metacognition, which involves awareness of group thinking and dynamics. The tool will be tested and refined in partnership with instructors at multiple...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $350,066.00 and running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The grant supports a postdoctoral fellowship for Dr. Yager to conduct research and professional development activities under the mentorship of Dr. Samuel Nyarko at Indiana University in Indianapolis. The project aims to (1) design and implement teamwork intervention lessons for geoscience students that explicitly connect teamwork skills to fieldwork, lab, and classroom activities, and (2) evaluate the impact of these interventions on students' teamwork process skills learning outcomes. Through design-based implementation research (DBIR), the project will identify the design characteristics of effective teamwork interventions and assess the compatibility of the lesson content, learning outcomes, and assessments. The overarching goal is to advance research in geoscience education, as teamwork skills are essential for the STEM workforce, particularly in collaborative field-based geoscience work.
