The National Science Foundation awarded the University of New Mexico $1.887 million on October 1, 2025, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and deliver six regional workshops promoting evidence-based teaching practices for graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants in biology. The project develops and implements a structured, cohort-based professional development program targeting administrators, STEM faculty, and staff (termed Scholars) at participating institutions. Over four years, the initiative will reach over fifty institutions through six regional workshops, each hosting scholar teams from at least ten unique institutions. Scholars will then design or refine teaching assistant professional development (TA-TPD) activities at their home institutions. The project employs mixed-methods research to evaluate workshop efficacy and connection between project activities and anticipated outcomes, guided by change theory for teaching. Work is performed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a period of performance from October 1, 2025, to October 31, 2027. University of California Irvine designs and develops a three-day workshop for scholars, facilitates summer workshops and quarterly meetings, coordinates education research activities, and assists with interpretation of findings. Georgia State University Research Foundation hosts the Year 2 workshop, co-designs workshop curriculum, facilitates five workshops over five years, leads quarterly virtual learning communities, and assists in data collection and dissemination. Oregon State University develops workshop curriculum, facilitates five workshops, oversees creation of an online teaching repository of resources and curricula, mentors scholar groups, and contributes to data collection and dissemination. New Mexico State University designs and develops workshop content, facilitates summer workshops and quarterly meetings, advises a graduate research assistant dissertation on the research project, coordinates education research activities, and assists with data analysis and interpretation.
