The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded San Diego State University Foundation $500,000 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program to develop course-based undergraduate research experiences integrating research-grade ecophysiological instrumentation into undergraduate biology courses. Students will use scientific instruments employed in ecological research to investigate photosynthesis and carbon cycling from chloroplasts to ecosystems. The project embeds authentic research experiences into existing undergraduate courses rather than limiting hands-on work to traditional laboratory settings, expanding access to research participation. Students will collect and analyze physiological and ecosystem data, gaining experience in experimental design, R programming, data analysis, and scientific communication. The project will assess student learning, engagement, and research self-efficacy using evidence-based evaluation methods and disseminate findings through publications, professional meetings, and university outreach. Work is performed in San Diego, California. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
