- This federal Project Grant award of $289,578 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEOPATHS:GO: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH STUDENT EXPERIENCES ABOARD SHIPS (STEMSEAS)" project. The goal of this 4-year project is to increase the number and diversity of students pursuing degrees and careers in the geosciences by providing undergraduate students, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, with...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to propagate an effective faculty professional development program and leadership model that supports community college STEM faculty in creating curricula to broaden participation of underrepresented groups and prepare students to address 21st century challenges related to climate change and social inequities. Over 3 years, the $499,999 award will: 1) establish a community of...
- 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 community of faculty engaged in proposal development, build expertise and confidence in grant writing, and investigate effective elements for supporting faculty in the grant development and submission process. The award will fund an experienced team of geoscience project leaders and writing consultants to develop and implement a suite of pre-workshop, workshop, and post-workshop activities. This initiative has significant potential to increase the number and range of funded geoscience education projects, expand pathways into geoscience majors and careers, enhance collaboration between two- and four-year institutions, and deepen the two-year college geoscience community's engagement with federal agencies.
