THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Higher Education, STEM Education, Hispanic Students/Youth, Education Equity
Deadline: June 4, 2024
“The goals of the NSF HSI Program are to:
- Enhance the quality of undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at HSIs.
- Increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of students pursuing associate’s or baccalaureate degrees in STEM at HSIs.
Meeting these goals requires institutions to understand and embrace their students’ strengths, challenges, and lived experiences. While this can happen in many ways and across many parts of an institution, the Hispanic Serving Institutions: Enriching Learning, Programs, and Student Experiences (HSI:ELPSE) solicitation is specifically focused on studying and improving the student experience in the following settings:
- STEM courses, particularly for students pursuing STEM degrees;
- Certificate, minor, and/or degree programs;
- Academic departments or divisions; and
- Schools and colleges that represent a part of the entire institution (e.g., a School of Engineering or a College of Natural Sciences).
Institutions are encouraged to consider how their mission and designation as an HSI could reimagine and/or strengthen courses, degree programs, departments, or divisions. The HSI:ELPSE solicitation welcomes projects that look to implement, test and refine promising practices and/or conduct research related to broadening participation or improving recruitment, retention, graduation and other positive outcomes for undergraduates in STEM. This solicitation includes the following tracks: (1) Implementation and Evaluation Projects (IEP): Levels 1 and 2 | (2) Educational Instrumentation (EI).”
