The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Creighton University $399,454 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and empirically evaluate a transferable framework for sustainable, student-led open-source software development within service-learning contexts. The project will develop a sustainability-centered approach enabling students to create technology products for community partners through iterative development, structured handoffs, and long-term stewardship across courses and semesters. The work examines how academic open-source software projects can be decomposed into modular, cross-disciplinary service-learning components and integrated across courses, research internships, student teams, and semesters to support student learning, stakeholder trust, and project longevity. The initiative investigates how embedding sustainability as a core learning objective influences student learning outcomes, professional competencies, software longevity, project governance, and community partner trust, with particular focus on serving nonprofits and smaller organizations with limited capacity. Performance of work occurs in Omaha, Nebraska, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The award is classified as a Project Grant, assistance type designation for Level I Engaged Student Learning projects under NSF's IUSE program.
