The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Seminole State College of Florida $440,217 on October 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to build undergraduate research skills and data science capacity at the two-year college. The project trains STEM faculty to mentor students working with real-world large datasets and establishes a community of practice for at least 30 faculty members in research ethics, data analysis, and secure data handling. The college will introduce 200 recent high school graduates to research through its Summer Bridge Program and recruit 100 college students into undergraduate research courses with STEM-focused pathways. Students will develop projects and presentations using large-scale datasets to advance understanding of data science, research design, and problem-solving. The project strengthens institutional partnerships and disseminates faculty teaching approaches, research results, and mentoring strategies to counterparts at other colleges in Florida and across the country to expand data-literate workforce development. Performance of work occurs in Sanford, Florida, with a period of performance from the award date through September 30, 2029.
