项目摘要

This project will contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by supporting the retention and graduation of high-achieving, low-income students with demonstrated financial need at Elmhurst College. Over its five-year duration, this project will fund two-year scholarships to 60 transfer students who are pursuing bachelor's degrees in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, computer science, information systems, mathematics, or physics. To retain these students, the project will provide student supports, including a cohort-based summer undergraduate research experience before their first semester, an integrated STEM transfer student orientation, peer and faculty mentoring, and career exploration seminars. The summer research experience aims to equalize research experiences for groups of students who are traditionally less likely to participate in undergraduate research. These interventions are expected to increase the students' sense of belonging to the STEM learning community, enabling students to overcome "transfer shock" and thrive academically. Because of Elmhurst College's location and the changing demographics of its student population, this project has the potential to increase the pipeline of talented, diverse STEM professionals entering the Chicago-area workforce. The overall goal of this project is to increase STEM degree completion of low-income, high-achieving undergraduates with demonstrated financial need. The project has three specific aims: 1) Recruit 60 academically-talented transfer students with financial need who are majoring in STEM; 2) Retain at least 54 (90%) of these Scholars in STEM major programs; and 3) Increase their 4-year graduation rates to 85%. To minimize transfer shock and increase the Scholars' sense of belonging, the project will provide each Scholar cohort with a summer course-based undergraduate research experience that also has an integrated STEM transfer student orientation. It will also provide Scholars with peer mentoring and career exploration (STEMinars), and other support services designed to increase transfer students' sense of belonging in STEM courses and majors. The PIs will assess whether the project interventions (Research Experience, Peer Mentors, and STEMinar) collectively and individually lead to gains in belonging, academic outcomes, and STEM career outcomes for transfer students. The PIs expect that the core interventions will increase Scholar's sense of belonging, which in turn will result in increased retention and graduation rates. Thus, the results of this project have the potential to advance understanding of the extent to which increasing transfer students' sense of belonging leads to stronger persistence in STEM disciplines. The project will be evaluated using a mixed-methods protocol utilizing existing data, survey data, and focus group data. The results of this project will be presented nationally and published in peer-reviewed journals. This project is funded by NSF's Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program, which seeks to increase the number of low-income academically talented students with demonstrated financial need who earn degrees in STEM fields. It also aims to improve the education of future STEM workers, and to generate knowledge about academic success, retention, transfer, graduation, and academic/career pathways of low-income students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该项目将为国家对受过良好教育的科学家、数学家、工程师和技术人员的需求做出贡献,支持埃尔姆赫斯特学院有经济需求的高成就、低收入学生的留校和毕业。在五年的时间里,这个项目将为60名正在攻读生物、生物化学、化学、计算机科学、信息系统、数学或物理学士学位的转校生提供两年的奖学金。为了留住这些学生,该项目将提供学生支持,包括在他们第一学期之前进行基于队列的夏季本科生研究体验,综合STEM转学学生定向,同行和教职员工指导,以及职业探索研讨会。暑期研究体验旨在为传统上不太可能参与本科生研究的学生群体提供同等的研究体验。这些干预措施有望增加学生对STEM学习社区的归属感,使学生能够克服“迁移冲击”,在学业上茁壮成长。由于Elmhurst学院的地理位置及其不断变化的学生人口结构,该项目有可能增加进入芝加哥地区劳动力队伍的有才华的、多样化的STEM专业人员的管道。该项目的总体目标是增加低收入、高成就、有经济需求的本科生的STEM学位毕业率。该项目有三个具体目标:1)招收60名有经济需要的STEM专业的学业有天赋的转校生;2)保留至少54名(90%)STEM专业的学生;3)将他们的4年毕业率提高到85%。为了将转学冲击降至最低,并增加奖学金获得者的归属感,该项目将为每位奖学金获得者提供以暑期课程为基础的本科生研究体验,同时也具有综合STEM转学学生导向。它还将为学者提供同行指导和职业探索(STEMinars),以及其他旨在增加转学学生在STEM课程和专业中的归属感的支持服务。PIS将评估项目干预(研究经验、同伴导师和STEMinar)是否集体和个别地导致转校生在归属感、学业成绩和STEM职业生涯结果方面取得进步。私人投资主任预期,核心干预措施将增加学者的归属感,这反过来将导致更高的留校率和毕业率。因此,这一项目的结果有可能促进对转学学生归属感的增加在多大程度上导致STEM学科更强的坚持的理解。将利用现有数据、调查数据和重点小组数据,使用混合方法协议对该项目进行评估。该项目的成果将在全国范围内公布,并在同行评议的期刊上发表。该项目由NSF的科学、技术、工程和数学奖学金项目资助,该项目旨在增加在STEM领域获得学位的低收入学术天才学生的数量。它还旨在改善未来STEM工作者的教育,并产生关于低收入学生的学业成功、留住、转移、毕业和学术/职业道路的知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
