The University of Rhode Island received a $1.49 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), awarded July 1, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2031. This Level 2 Institutional and Community Transformation project delivers faculty professional development and curriculum modernization services to improve general and inorganic chemistry laboratory instruction nationwide. The project recruits 60 chemistry faculty members from two- and four-year institutions and provides multi-year cohort training through in-person and virtual meetings to help them develop and revise laboratory experiments that emphasize authentic research experiences and cross-cutting STEM skills. The primary products delivered include redesigned chemistry laboratory curricula that integrate evidence-based teaching practices, faculty-developed laboratory experiments applicable to both general and inorganic chemistry contexts, and enhanced faculty understanding of professional development methodologies. The project contributes to NSF's national interest in preparing the next generation of scientists by equipping faculty with tools and expertise to modernize outdated laboratory experiences, thereby strengthening student learning outcomes and workforce readiness in STEM fields.Federal Grant Award Summary
