The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the College of New Jersey $175,240 on October 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and scale a networked course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) model in analytical chemistry across diverse institution types. The project operationalizes a teacher-centered systemic reform framework to diagnose institutional barriers to CURE adoption and deploys differentiated mentorship and custom-trained generative AI assistants to support faculty implementation. The CURE engages undergraduate students in authentic scientific discovery using low-cost paper-based analytical devices, strengthening scientific identity, persistence in STEM fields, and collaborative skills. The project aims to support adoption across both primarily undergraduate institutions and research-intensive universities, establishing an enduring community of practice that transfers across institution types. Work is performed in Trenton, New Jersey, with performance concluding September 30, 2029.
