The United States depends on a large and diverse workforce in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. In 2012, it was forecast that the US would need an additional 1 million STEM college graduates over a decade to remain globally competitive. Yet, the majority of students who enter college with intentions to major in a STEM discipline do not actually complete a STEM degree. Improving the retention of undergraduate students in STEM is thus a critical national priority. This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) project will address this need by hosting the Research in Interdisciplinary STEM Education (RISE) program at Washington State University. Over the course of three years, RISE will immerse diverse cohorts of 10 undergraduate students each summer in authentic research focused on STEM workforce development. While most undergraduate STEM education reform efforts have focused on teaching and learning at the undergraduate level, it is also important to understand the connections to K-12 and informal education settings, and to view STEM learning as a lifelong, life-wide phenomenon. The RISE scholars will advance STEM inclusion and diversity by investigating critical research questions related to STEM pathways, informal STEM education, and authentic STEM disciplinary practices. The RISE REU program will recruit undergraduate students from primarily non-PhD-granting institutions, with a particular focus on recruiting students from groups that are underrepresented in STEM fields. RISE scholars will participate in extensive mentoring by faculty, graduate students, and peers; a series of professional skills workshops; and cohort-building activities to increase a sense of belonging and STEM identity. RISE participants will gain understandings of the importance of collaboration in STEM, the role of educational research in improving STEM education, and STEM career pathways. A comprehensive longitudinal evaluation plan will examine changes in the RISE scholars' understanding of, appreciation for, and pursuit of career possibilities in STEM and STEM education research. Ultimately, the REU RISE project is expected to contribute to a more vibrant and inclusive STEM workforce while advancing research in STEM education.The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in areas of research funded by NSF. This REU project is supported by NSF's Education & Human Resources Directorate Core Research (ECR) Program and its Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) Program.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.

美国取决于科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的庞大而多样化的劳动力。在2012年，预计美国将需要十年来还需要100万STEM大学毕业生才能保持全球竞争。然而，大多数以专业在STEM纪律中进入大学的学生实际上并没有完成STEM学位。因此，改善本科生在STEM中的保留是至关重要的国家优先事项。本科生（REU）项目的这一研究经验将通过在华盛顿州立大学举办跨学科STEM教育（RISE）计划的研究来满足这一需求。在三年的过程中，Rise将在每年夏天的10个本科生中浸入各种各样的人群中，专注于STEM劳动力发展。尽管大多数本科STEM教育改革的工作都集中在本科层面的教学和学习上，但了解与K-12和非正式教育环境的联系，并将STEM学习视为终身，终身范围的现象也很重要。崛起学者将通过调查与STEM途径，非正式STEM教育和真实的STEM学科实践有关的关键研究问题来提高STEM包容性和多样性。 RISE REU计划将招募主要是非PHD授予机构的本科生，特别着眼于从STEM领域中人数不足的团体中招募学生。崛起学者将参加教职员工，研究生和同龄人的广泛指导；一系列专业技能讲习班；和队列建设活动，以增加归属感和茎的身份感。崛起的参与者将了解协作在STEM中的重要性，教育研究在改善STEM教育方面的作用以及STEM职业道路的作用。一项全面的纵向评估计划将研究崛起学者对STEM和STEM教育研究中职业可能性的理解，欣赏和追求的变化。最终，预计REU RISE项目有助于在进行STEM教育研究的同时，有助于更加充满活力和包容性的STEM劳动力。本科生（REU）计划的研究经验支持本科生在NSF资助的研究领域的本科生参与。 NSF的教育与人力资源局核心研究（ECR）计划及其改善的本科STEM教育（IUSE）计划的支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和知识分子来评估的。更广泛的影响审查标准。
