Project Grant 2514340
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) $319,373 STEM Education Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (CFDA 47.076) award supports research to characterize the experiences of disabled graduate students and investigate how they negotiate their science and disability identities to persist in STEM programs. The two-year project will include a systematic literature review to develop a theoretical framework for understanding identity negotiations, followed by interviews with disabled graduate students...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $299,762, provided through the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports a postdoctoral fellowship focused on "Humanizing Biology Content to Enhance Undergraduate Learning and Intent to Persist in Science". The key objectives are to: 1) Assess the extent to which "humanized" content (integrating science and social justice issues) is prioritized in national biology education initiatives and assessments; 2)...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, provides $1,249,664 to support three postdoctoral research fellowships focused on access and accessibility in STEM education at Utah State University. The project aims to develop the research knowledge, skills, and practices of the postdoctoral fellows in order to advance their preparation for tenure-track faculty positions. The model provides the fellows with a highly...
- This federal Project Grant award for $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program is focused on developing a theory of how STEM instructors can better support students with non-apparent disabilities such as learning disabilities, ADHD, and psychiatric conditions. The award will fund research to understand the experiences and perspectives of both STEM students with disabilities and their instructors, using a journey mapping methodology. The goal is to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $500,000 to the University of Houston to implement an undergraduate research training program in biology and biochemistry. The project will engage cohorts of financially disadvantaged students, including those from underrepresented populations, in a two-semester capstone course to develop scientific and workforce skills, followed by research placements with mentors. The primary goals are...
- This Project Grant award of $199,912.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a multi-faceted project aimed at improving learning outcomes and increasing passing rates in introductory biology courses at the recipient institution. The key activities include: Developing interactive 3D-printed learning materials to enhance conceptual understanding in introductory biology courses. Integrating project-based research experiences into newly created open...
- This $599,868 National Science Foundation award under the STEM Education Postdoctoral Research Fellowship program will support research and training to create more inclusive undergraduate research experiences for low socioeconomic students in life sciences. Over a two-year period from September 2022 through August 2024, the awardee Arizona State University will conduct interviews and a nationwide survey to identify factors impacting low-SES student researchers. This research aims to understand...
- This National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 STEM Education) Project Grant award of $499,997 to the San Diego State University Research Foundation will support a 4-year effort to diversify participation and career pursuits in ecology and evolutionary biology. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating evidence-based instructional reforms in gateway biology courses at the classroom level, such as expanding active learning and misconception-focused approaches with...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $1,000,000.00 to the University of California, Merced over a 4-year period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2029. The project aims to 1) understand challenges that may harm the success of undergraduates in the Department of Life and Environmental Sciences (LES) in engaging in field research, and 2) devise sustainable solutions to remove barriers and promote success for all...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to advance the understanding of how universities can improve support for science faculty in providing accommodations for students with disabilities. The $391,581 award to Arizona State University will fund a nationwide interview study and development of survey instruments to identify factors that impact science faculty motivation and experiences in administering student...
This federal Project Grant award of $340,192.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Texas at Austin. The research project aims to advance accessibility in biology fieldwork through participatory design with students, including those with disabilities. The key objectives are to: 1) identify barriers to participation in ecological fieldwork by having students engage in participatory design activities to review, revise, and implement standard field protocols, and 2) use the insights gained to create tools based on students' lived experiences that will help educators increase the participation of all students in field-based science. This research has the potential to increase workforce participation and retention in the biological sciences. The project will also provide valuable training to a STEM education researcher.
