This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $999,989 to Sam Houston State University (SHSU) to redesign their STEM graduate training programs. The project aims to improve retention, degree completion, and workforce readiness for STEM graduate students at SHSU, which currently has approximately 30% completion rates and 70% attrition. The project embeds structured career exploration, applied skills development, and mentoring into existing STEM graduate pathways. Key components include a post-baccalaureate career mindset program, professional development workshops, and a faculty-student mentoring network. The project leverages partnerships with industry, government, and SHSU alumni to align STEM graduate education with workforce needs. Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in improving STEM graduate student success and workforce preparation.
