- The National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program has awarded a $499,989 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to implement the "HSI IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION PROJECT: INTEGRATED NETWORKING, SCHOLARSHIP, AND PEER MENTORING OF FRESHMEN ENGINEERS FOR INCREASED ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND GRADUATION RATES." This 5-year project aims to provide academic and social support to UCSB engineering and computer science freshmen with "effectors...
- This $100,000 one-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to support Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) through two key activities. First, it will provide competitive on-campus STEM employment and mentorship opportunities for undergraduate students at five HSIs. This will enhance students' academic and social engagement, as well as provide culturally-relevant mentorship to develop their STEM skills and knowledge. Second, the...
- This $113,370 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to transform introductory engineering courses at a Hispanic-serving two-year college. The goal is to enhance student success and interest in pursuing STEM degrees through a project-based learning approach. The award will fund the development of quasi-independent, low-cost classroom materials and curricula that provide early-career engineering students with significant...
- This $1,393,594 National Science Foundation Project Grant will support the University of Texas at San Antonio in promoting psychological well-being and resilience to increase retention of high-achieving STEM students from underrepresented groups. Over six years, the project will provide scholarships of up to four years each to 27 students pursuing bachelor's degrees in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics/astronomy. Scholarship recipients will participate in a...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve undergraduate student success in introductory STEM courses. The $498,212 award will train 50 graduate teaching assistants over 3 years at the University of Arizona on student-centered and asset-based teaching strategies. These strategies are expected to reduce failure and withdrawal rates, increase student confidence and sense of community, and ultimately improve persistence...
- This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the University of Arizona, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and California State Polytechnic University Pomona in enhancing pathways for low-income, high-achieving students to earn PhDs in mathematical sciences fields. The three Hispanic-serving institutions will collaborate to develop deeper connections to tackle obstacles these students face in getting admitted to...
- This $1.5 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund Bridgewater State University's efforts to improve STEM undergraduate student outcomes through partnerships, mentoring, and high-impact practices. Over six years, the university will provide scholarships and additional supports to three cohorts of 35 low-income, high-achieving undergraduates pursuing STEM degrees. Students will receive mentoring from faculty, diverse STEM...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $349,962 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), a Hispanic-Serving Institution, to build the principal investigator's expertise in STEM education research study design, research methods, and data analysis techniques. The project aims to support a pilot STEM education research project to investigate remedial math training for civil engineering undergraduate students, with...
- This $2,100,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and implement a comprehensive model for transforming STEM education at a rural Hispanic-Serving Institution, Heritage University, located in Toppenish, Washington. The project has two primary objectives: 1) enhancing STEM identity in institutional leadership to transform student support networks, and 2) developing innovative experiential learning opportunities...
- This $399,481 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve the success and persistence of undergraduate students taking pre-calculus courses at a Hispanic Serving Institution. The project will implement an intervention program that includes exposure to campus resources, attribution retraining, and use of a pedagogical tool called an "exam wrapper" to promote self-reflection. The goal is to increase student...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $499,468 to the University of Texas at Arlington to test two approaches for helping first-generation Hispanic undergraduate students build creative problem-solving skills and a stronger sense of belonging in STEM fields. The project will compare the impact of a semester-long faculty mentorship program versus a creativity skills curriculum on student outcomes such as self-efficacy, STEM interests and goals, and performance on a research proposal task. The study aims to guide colleges in designing programs that expand the nation's STEM talent pool and open rewarding careers to first-generation students. The research team will recruit 60 participants and randomly assign them to one of three groups: a mentorship condition, a creativity training condition, or a control group. Outcomes will be measured before and after the 15-week interventions.
