This three-year collaborative project entitled “REU Site: STEM Research for Social Change” is hosted through a special partnership among the University of Dayton (UD), Central State University (CSU), and St. Mary’s University. The purpose of this collaborative REU is to support interdisciplinary science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) research for positive social change, in support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This REU targets underrepresented minority and marginalized undergraduate students in science and engineering fields through faculty-mentored research across three institutions with social justice at the core of their missions. Two of these institutions are minority serving, a Historically Black College and University and a Hispanic Serving Institution and offer opportunities for networking and research collaboration for faculty members at universities with limited financial support. The project will unite STEM faculty and student researchers with social change organizations to advance societal transformation through addressing issues such as clean water and clean energy, sustainability, and generating new technologies and networks. In addition to direct benefits to society, this collaborative REU project will increase underrepresented minority STEM students' sense of belonging in STEM fields, support self-efficacy in research, and increase their persistence and retention through graduation.

Two of these institutions are minority serving, a Historically Black College and University and a Hispanic Serving Institution and offer opportunities for networking and research collaboration for faculty members at universities with limited financial support. The REU is designed to enhance the students’ science and engineering research interests and skills, personal and professional identity formation and networks, and sense of belonging in STEM. This project will demonstrate and assess an undergraduate research program model for effectively increasing the retention of marginalized students in STEM, and the rate at which they pursue graduate studies and faculty careers. The REU will sustain existing and develop new interdisciplinary research collaborations between faculty at UD, CSU, StMU, and social change organizations, which will inspire students to pursue graduate school while generating new STEM knowledge, discovery, and technologies for social change.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.

这个三年的合作项目题为“ REU网站：STEM社会变革研究”是通过代顿大学（UD），中央州立大学（CSU）和圣玛丽大学的特殊合作伙伴关系主持的。这种合作REU的目的是支持跨学科科学，技术，工程和数学研究（STEM）研究积极的社会变革，以支持联合国可持续发展目标（SDGS）。该REU通过在三个具有社会正义的机构的教师管理的研究来实现少数群体的少数群体和科学和工程领域的边缘化本科生的目标。这些机构中有两个是少数派服务，这是一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学，以及西班牙裔服务机构，为大学的教职员工提供了机会，为大学的教职员工提供了机会，并提供了有限的财务支持。该项目将通过解决清洁水和清洁能源，可持续性以及生成新技术和网络等问题来改进社会变革组织的STEM教师和学生研究人员。除了对社会的直接利益外，这个合作的REU项目还将增加代表性不足的少数族裔STEM学生在STEM领域的归属感，支持研究中的自我效能感，并通过毕业来增加其持久性和保留性。这个三年的合作项目题为“ REU网站：STEM社会变革研究”是通过代顿大学（UD），中央州立大学（CSU）和圣玛丽大学的特殊合作伙伴关系主持的。这种合作的REU的目的是支持跨学科科学，技术，工程和垫子（STEM）研究积极的社会变革，以支持联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）。该REU通过在三个具有社会正义的机构的教师管理的研究来实现少数群体的少数群体和科学和工程领域的边缘化本科生的目标。这些机构中有两个是少数派服务，这是一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学，以及西班牙裔服务机构，为大学的教职员工提供了机会，为大学的教职员工提供了机会，并提供了有限的财务支持。 REU旨在增强学生的科学和工程研究兴趣和技能，个人和专业身份形成和网络以及STEM中的归属感。该项目将展示和评估一个本科研究计划模型，以有效地增加边缘化学生在STEM中的保留，以及他们购买研究生学习和教师职业的速度。 The REU will sustain existing and develop new interdisciplinary research collaborations between faculty at UD, CSU, StMU, and social change organizations, which will inspire students to purchase graduate school while generating new STEM knowledge, discovery, and technologies for social change.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.
