This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,991,369 to the University of California, Davis to study the impacts of a co-designed California Naturalist certification program implemented in a prison garden setting. The project aims to make lifelong environmental learning and stewardship a reality by using a design-based research approach to collaboratively adapt the existing California Naturalist program for the prison context. Key features include: 1) co-developed hands-on naturalist training with incarcerated participants, and 2) participation in authentic environmental science research. The study will investigate how these program elements influence participants' self-efficacy toward science/environmental issues and science identity. The co-design process involves four major steps, including incorporating practitioner experiences and research theory. The award has a performance period from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
