The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded The University of Texas at El Paso $2,999,998 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to establish a research hub examining how institutional factors influence graduate aspirations, readiness, and success of low-income STEM students at research-intensive universities. The S-STEM Research Hub will conduct multi-campus research coordinated across five strands addressing the undergraduate-to-graduate continuum: advising and graduate readiness; mentoring, identity, and belonging; transfer and community college integration; institutional ecosystems; and graduate workforce preparation and career alignment. The hub will engage researchers, institutional leaders, and stakeholders to identify how research universities can reduce financial, structural, and psychosocial barriers shaping graduate pathways for academically talented, low-income students. The project recognizes evidence that low-income students postpone or forgo graduate education at higher rates than peers due to costs and other challenges, and seeks to build the knowledge base on how undergraduate S-STEM practices can be adapted and scaled to support graduate opportunity. Performance is located in El Paso, Texas. The award period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031. This is a Project Grant assistance type.
