- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education aims to develop and evaluate an empirically-defensible model for increasing STEM persistence and graduation rates among underrepresented students at Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the $500,000 award made to Our Lady of the Lake University on January 1, 2023 will support redesigning the institution's College Algebra course into three...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve fundamental data analytical skills for STEM students, with a focus on enhancing learning for students from groups historically underrepresented in STEM. The $346,385 award, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2028, will utilize a theme-based approach to deliver personalized learning experiences in introductory statistics courses at...
- This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education, under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076), supports a meta-analysis of prior research on personalized adaptive learning (PAL) in undergraduate mathematics courses. The University of Central Florida will conduct a comprehensive literature review and synthesize findings across single studies using quantitative statistics to compute an...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Award under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $453,614 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to enhance fundamental data analytical skills for STEM students, with a focus on improving accessibility and equity for Hispanic-serving institutions. The 4-year project, beginning October 1, 2024, will utilize a theme-based approach to deliver personalized learning experiences in introductory statistics courses. The goal is...
- This $999,957 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative effort between the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) and South Texas College (STC) to enhance student success and persistence in calculus courses at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). The project aims to improve pass and persistence rates in Calculus I and II, shorten the time to complete the calculus sequence, and increase student...
- This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to advance the cognitive science of active learning in STEM courses. Over a two-year period, the fellow will conduct three controlled experiments manipulating dosage schedules and order of active learning and lecture components. The research aims to pinpoint instructional features that maximize equity,...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $352,772 to San Diego State University Research Foundation to investigate relations between mathematics instructor approaches to teaching college calculus and the expectations of engineering faculty across 2-year and 4-year institutions in California. The research aims to characterize calculus instruction methods and content through analysis of course materials, as well as assess...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to implement and study a peer learning program to increase student success in calculus and statistics courses across two- and four-year institutions. The $499,925 award to the University Enterprises, Inc. (UEI) at Sacramento State Sponsored Research will create and administer new concurrent peer assisted learning courses, faculty and student professional development, and added transfer student resources. This project seeks to reduce fail rates, improve grades, retention, and feelings of belonging for students in these high-fail STEM courses. Student performance and retention will be analyzed using statistical methods, and surveys will examine student belongingness. The project will operate from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028.
