The Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program (HSI Program) supports RAPID projects when there is severe urgency with regard to availability of, or access to, data, facilities or specialized equipment, including quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters and similar unanticipated events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This project aims to explore challenges faced by students and instructors at HSIs after moving to online formats during COVID-19. Longitudinal surveys and interviews seek to reveal how students and instructors cope with courses moving online, and how course experiences are impacted by this move. The study also aims to identify the resources and supports that are most helpful to students and instructors and to catalog resources that are still needed. The research will include examination of how findings differ for students and instructors from underrepresented and underserved communities (i.e., Latinx and Native American). Data collected will contribute knowledge regarding attitudes and coping processes during crises. Results seek to inform best practices for HSIs during recovery from this pandemic.Low perceived control over outcomes and fear of performing worse than peers affect coping skills and attitudes among undergraduates. College and minority stress, likely augmented by this pandemic, exacerbate depression, in turn reducing persistence. Moreover, resources necessary for success (e.g., internet) are not always accessible to underserved communities. One-hour online surveys and 1.5-hour semi-structured interviews will be conducted across Arizona HSIs in May-June, August-September, and October-November 2020. Surveys will include rating scales (e.g., sense of belonging). Interviews, oversampling from underrepresented populations, will include think aloud protocols and questions about resources and course experiences. This mixed methods project will contribute knowledge of attitudinal and emotional processes and reactions to institutional supports. Identified institutional and instructional practices will inform recovery from this pandemic. Preliminary results will be shared with HSIs and the broader community via the NSF HSI Hub, brief reports, webinars, and a project website. The HSI Program aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education and build capacity at HSIs. Projects supported by the HSI Program will also generate new knowledge on how to achieve these aims.This RAPID award is made by the HSI Program in the Division of Human Resource Development, Directorate of Education and Human Resources, using funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.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.

改善本科STEM教育：西班牙裔服务机构计划（HSI计划）在数据，设施或专用设备的可用性或访问方面存在严重紧迫性时支持RAPID项目，包括对自然或人为灾害以及类似意外事件的快速反应研究，如COVID-19大流行。该项目旨在探索在COVID-19期间转向在线格式后，HSI的学生和教师所面临的挑战。纵向调查和访谈旨在揭示学生和教师如何科普在线课程，以及课程体验如何受到这一举措的影响。 这项研究还旨在确定对学生和教师最有帮助的资源和支持，并对仍然需要的资源进行编目。研究将包括检查来自代表性不足和服务不足社区的学生和教师的调查结果如何不同（即，拉丁美洲和美洲原住民）。收集的数据将有助于了解危机期间的态度和应对过程。结果旨在告知HSIs在从这场大流行中恢复的最佳实践。对结果的低感知控制和对表现不如同龄人的恐惧影响了大学生的应对技能和态度。大学和少数民族的压力，可能会因这种流行病而加剧，加剧抑郁症，从而降低持久性。此外，成功所需的资源（例如，互联网）并不总是为服务不足的社区所用。一小时的在线调查和1.5小时的半结构化访谈将在2020年5月至6月，8月至9月和11月至11月在亚利桑那州的HSI进行。调查将包括评级量表（例如，归属感）。采访，从代表性不足的人群中过度抽样，将包括大声思考协议和有关资源和课程经验的问题。这一混合方法项目将有助于了解态度和情感过程以及对机构支助的反应。已确定的机构和教学做法将有助于从这一流行病中恢复过来。初步结果将通过NSF HSI Hub，简要报告，网络研讨会和项目网站与HSI和更广泛的社区分享。HSI计划旨在加强本科STEM教育，并建立HSI的能力。由HSI计划支持的项目也将产生关于如何实现这些目标的新知识。这个RAPID奖是由HSI计划在人力资源开发部，教育和人力资源局，使用冠状病毒援助，救济，经济安全（CARES）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
