STEM Academy to Prepare, Retain, Excel, and Progress: Planning Grant Summary The Maricopa County Community College District received a $199,788 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) for the period October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2028. This planning grant funds the STEM Academy initiative, which investigates evidence-based practices and interventions designed to improve success and persistence rates among part-time STEM students at South Mountain Community College (SMCC). The project delivers comprehensive research and planning services centered on identifying factors that influence part-time STEM student success. Deliverables include the recruitment and longitudinal tracking of part-time STEM students throughout their matriculation (two to three years), implementation of high-touch and high-impact practices such as summer bridge programs, undergraduate research opportunities, and peer mentoring, and administration of pre- and post-surveys to measure impacts on student persistence, retention, and STEM identity. Upon completion, the project will produce a profile of successful part-time STEM students, evidence-based best practices for nationwide adoption, and preliminary findings to inform a larger research study addressing the persistent achievement gap between part-time and full-time STEM students.
