The...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to develop and document more effective ways to disseminate research-informed STEM education programs and practices at the University of Colorado-Denver. The $500,000 award will fund two key initiatives over a 3-year period from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028: Expansion of the Learning Assistants (LA) program to additional STEM courses with high DFW (D, F, or Withdrawal) rates,...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,389,237 to The Regents of the University of Colorado to investigate how informal STEM educators in settings like museums, libraries, and community organizations negotiate, redesign, and repair organizational and community infrastructures to support innovations in learning with computing. The research focuses on understanding the supports that informal STEM and computing...
- This federal Project Grant award of $398,638 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to implement evidence-based instructional practices in undergraduate STEM courses to improve student outcomes, persistence, and retention, particularly for students in the Appalachian region. The project, titled "Advancing STEM Learning and Institutional Change Through Faculty Training, Resources, and Support to Adopt Evidence-Based Instructional Strategies",...
- This $350,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The award supports an Individual Investigator Development (IID) project to advance knowledge on the impact of supportive validation on the major and career self-efficacy of first-year college students in STEM fields. The project will allow the Principal Investigator (PI) to develop foundational skills and gain practical experience in designing and...
- This $1,988,720 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a collaborative research effort led by the University of Colorado at Boulder, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, and Utah State University. The project aims to scale and expand the STEM Career Connections model across three rural school districts to increase middle and high school students' skills in technology and computing required for...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to survey approximately 18,000 instructors across 660 U.S. colleges and universities to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on undergraduate science education, particularly in the fields of chemistry, mathematics, and physics. The $113,972 grant, awarded on June 1, 2025, will repeat a 2019 survey to understand any lasting changes to research-based instructional practices...
- 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 $1,999,986 National Science Foundation project grant supports institutional and community transformation efforts to implement evidence-based teaching practices across science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Funded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the five-year award beginning October 1, 2022 aims to shift faculty culture towards practices proven to benefit all students through activities like a mobile summer...
- This $251,349 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a research project to examine the strengths and limitations of a widely used framework for translating education research into effective classroom practices. The University of Denver, the awardee, will conduct a systematic review of this framework, gathering insights through literature synthesis, interviews, and stakeholder engagement. The goal is to identify...
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 University. The project has two key components: (1) a landscape study investigating methods used in successful STEM departmental change efforts to support institutionalization and sustainability, and (2) the establishment of an inclusive community network to share findings and recommended practices. This mixed methods research and development project takes a systems approach to characterizing the emerging field of departmental change and empowering a network of STEM education practitioners. The overarching goals are to describe the structures, approaches, and theoretical frameworks of STEM departmental change projects, as well as the impacts of networking change agents.
