- This $399,997 federal project grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and research improved teaching strategies to support student engagement in science civic participation. The project, awarded to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, will incorporate experiential learning and civic engagement activities into a large-enrollment introductory science literacy course. The research will examine the impact of these...
- This $350,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The award supports an Individual Investigator Development (IID) project to advance knowledge on the impact of supportive validation on the major and career self-efficacy of first-year college students in STEM fields. The project will allow the Principal Investigator (PI) to develop foundational skills and gain practical experience in designing and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $246,857 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to improve and broaden participation in undergraduate STEM education through faculty professional development. Specifically, the American Association of Physics Teachers, American Astronomical Society, and American Physical Society will redesign and expand their successful physics and astronomy faculty workshops to focus on developing individualized plans...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $589,739 Project Grant to the University of Virginia under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and implement a faculty development model focusing on student-centered pedagogical practices that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in undergraduate physics and astronomy education. Working with partners from the University of Washington Bothell and University of Arizona, the University of Virginia will redesign existing physics and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $350,000 to investigate how members of STEM teams build relationships through knowledge transfer from professional development activities. The project will allow the Principal Investigator (PI) to develop skills in qualitative research methods, including interviewing, and gain practical experience in STEM education research. The findings will be shared through professional development...
- The American Institutes For Research In The Behavioral Sciences (AIR) was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The three-year grant will fund AIR's project "IMPROVING UNDERGRADUATES? MOTIVATION AND RETENTION IN STEM THROUGH CLASSROOM INTERVENTIONS: A META-ANALYSIS" from July 2021 through June 2024. Through meta-analysis of existing research, AIR will identify effective...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $350,000 to the University of Oregon to investigate student motivation and engagement in introductory general education astronomy courses. The 3-year project, commencing on September 1, 2025, will focus on developing the principal investigator's skills in designing and implementing STEM education research using mixed methods approaches, such as latent cluster analysis and qualitative coding. The project aims to deepen the investigator's theoretical knowledge in expectancy-value theory and self-determination theory, while gaining practical experience in areas like interview protocol design and qualitative data analysis. This award reflects NSF's mission to build the U.S. STEM education research workforce and advance knowledge to improve STEM education and workforce outcomes.
