This $268,138 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of the first immersive, online virtual field trip (VFT) that capitalizes on paleontological fieldwork. The primary goals are to: 1) increase exposure to geosciences in high schools and early-college classrooms by incorporating geoscience lessons into existing courses; 2) enhance educational content for traditional courses like geography, math, physics,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $349,710 Project Grant to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support the collaborative proposal "GEOPATHS:IN Recruiting Through Location-Based Curriculum and Field and Laboratory Research Experience for High School Students, Teachers and Undergraduates." The two-year grant project, running from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, will provide location-based geosciences...
This $729,036 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to determine if virtual field experiences (VFEs) can enhance students' ability to learn science skills and encourage them to pursue science careers. The project will compare learning and attitudinal outcomes of introductory biology and ecology students following the use of virtual or in-person field experiences at three Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). This work is critical...
This $254,636 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to determine if virtual field experiences (VFEs) can effectively train students in scientific observation skills and influence their attitudes toward pursuing science careers. The project, led by Sonoma State University, a Hispanic Serving Institution, will compare learning and attitudinal outcomes between students who participate in virtual versus in-person field experiences in...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $391,582 Project Grant to the University of Lynchburg under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to implement the Immersive Connections in Geosciences project from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The project aims to increase the number of geoscience majors and minors at the University of Lynchburg, with an emphasis on low-income students and those from historically underrepresented groups in the field. Key products and...
This $521,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to increase diversity in the geosciences by supporting high school teachers in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) to build their science programs. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Designing and implementing a series of experiences for high school science teachers to engage with local geoscience community partners and their...
This $185,061 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to investigate the use of web-based virtual field trips to improve student learning and spatial communication abilities. The 54-month project, led by the University of Missouri in collaboration with Arizona State University, will develop an "iVISIT" virtual field trip platform to deliver multi-user, synchronous, situated learning experiences. The project seeks to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $177,674 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA# 47.050) to enhance the discoverability and use of paleontological specimen data. The 2-year project aims to: (1) connect existing open science cyberinfrastructure resources to better integrate data from fossil and biological collections; (2) democratize access to digitized paleontological data for research; and (3) expand...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $249,718 project grant titled "RCN-UBE Undergraduate Virtual Experiences as a Recruitment Tool for Underrepresented Students in STEM - The Virtual Field (TheVirtualField.org)" under the Biological Sciences CFDA program. This funding will enable the development of virtual field learning experiences to broaden access to transformative field station and marine lab programs for undergraduate STEM students, particularly those from...
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...
