This $244,605 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund a 3-year research project at the University of New Hampshire to map the narrative processes that shape rural youth's understanding of living and working in rural communities. The project aims to deepen understanding of how messages from peers, families, schools, and community institutions influence rural adolescents' postsecondary expectations, aspirations, and decision-making. Using mixed-methods survey research and participatory data collection with rural youth, the study will analyze narrative patterns and meaning-making processes to generate insights that can help rural educators, employers, and community leaders develop more coordinated, youth-centered strategies to expand rural opportunity and support long-term regional economic and social vitality.
