The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Providence College $145,418 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to design and implement course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in astronomy. Providence College will develop, validate, and deliver a CURE model adapted from biology and chemistry to prepare undergraduates for collaborative astronomical research. The project identifies student skills necessary for participation in scientific research collaborations, creates assessment tools for those competencies, and delivers the CURE at two undergraduate-focused institutions whose faculty participate in an established astronomy research collaboration. The work emphasizes students' computational literacy, understanding of themselves as scientists, and development of skills applicable to collaborative research—a central feature of modern astronomy and science practice. The project runs through September 30, 2029, with performance at Providence, Rhode Island. The award will also evaluate medium- to long-term pedagogical impacts of the CURE model, particularly on cognitive competencies and affective skills in collaborative research contexts.
