The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded North Carolina State University $399,999 on October 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to conduct a national census of interdisciplinary undergraduate science programs in U.S. higher education. The project will document the scope, characteristics, and variation of interdisciplinary science learning environments across colleges and universities by developing a comprehensive census using publicly available databases, systematic web searches, and snowball sampling, followed by verification surveys with program leaders. The work will also include interviews with representatives from interdisciplinary programs and analysis of institutional factors that support or inhibit program success. The project aims to establish a national evidence base to support future research, institutional decision-making, and strategic investments in undergraduate STEM workforce preparation, with particular focus on developing actionable, research-based recommendations to improve program design for students entering the modern workforce. Performance occurs at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2029. This Level 1 Institutional and Community Transformation Project addresses the absence of comprehensive, systematic study of interdisciplinary undergraduate science programs, responding to employer and national organization emphasis on interdisciplinary competencies including knowledge integration across fields, multidisciplinary team collaboration, and problem-solving in complex real-world contexts that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.
