The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University $123,882 on December 1, 2026, for collaborative research examining career entry into biomedical faculty positions under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The project investigates educational, professional, and institutional factors predicting faculty hiring outcomes; how job applicants navigate the hiring process and make career decisions; and how faculty search committees define and implement evaluation practices. Research methods include national surveys of STEM faculty job applicants, longitudinal interviews, surveys of faculty search committee members, and analyses of national faculty posting data. Quantitative and qualitative analyses will identify factors associated with hiring outcomes and explain applicant decision-making, committee practices, and institutional hiring practices. Project findings will be synthesized through an open-access data infrastructure including publicly available dashboards, reports, and research products to support informed career decision-making. Virginia Tech will perform the work at Blacksburg, Virginia, with a period of performance from December 1, 2026, through November 30, 2031. The award is classified as a Project Grant, which emphasizes fundamental STEM education research generating foundational knowledge in the field.
