The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) received a $105,446 Project Grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853), awarded April 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2031. UTSA will implement the Neuroscience, Developmental, and Regenerative Biology Prefreshman Research Experience (NPRE) program, designed to increase retention and success of first-year STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) students through early research engagement and structured mentorship. The NPRE program delivers a two-phase initiative addressing critical transition points in undergraduate STEM education. Phase I provides an 8-week summer research experience prior to freshman year, including hands-on laboratory work, graduate and faculty mentorship, seminars, and scientific communication training. Phase II sustains student engagement during the freshman year through monthly professional development workshops, structured study hall sessions, mentorship check-ins, and paid research opportunities. Based on pilot program data, the initiative has demonstrated effectiveness with approximately 93% of participating students persisting in STEM degrees and two-thirds continuing research beyond their first summer, positioning NPRE as a scalable model for broadening participation in STEM fields and improving persistence among first-generation and underrepresented student populations.Federal Grant Award Summary
