EVERGREEN VALLEY COLLEGE: ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER RESOURCES FOR EXCELLENCE PLUS POWERFUL LEADERSHIP AND LEARNING FOR UNIFIED SUCCESS (ASPIRE+PLLUS)

THE PROJECT’S OVERARCHING GOALS AND MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES ARE TO MATERIALLY INCREASE HISPANIC STUDENTS’ POST-SECONDAR ENROLLMENT, RETENTION, COMPLETION AND TRANSFER THROUGH THREE MAJOR ACTIVITY THEMES

HIGHER EDUCATION EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND - MINORITY INSTITUTION

TRIO - STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES - STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES PROGRAM

FOSTERING BIOLOGY MAJOR SUCCESS AND TRANSFER IN AN URBAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THE SILICON VALLEY -THIS PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE NATIONAL NEED FOR WELL-EDUCATED SCIENTISTS, TECHNICIANS, ENGINEERS, AND MATHEMATICIANS BY SUPPORTING HIGH-ACHIEVING, LOW-INCOME STUDENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED AT EVERGREEN VALLEY COLLEGE (EVC). EVC IS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, WHICH SERVES APPROXIMATELY 10,000 STUDENTS. A PARTICULAR IMPETUS OF THE PROJECT WILL BE TO INCREASE ACCESS TO, AND PARTICIPATION IN, THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES WORKFORCE WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS. COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF BIOLOGY MAJORS AND FUTURE BIOLOGISTS, YET THEY OFTEN FACE FINANCIAL AND FAMILY DEMANDS THAT COMPETE WITH THEIR EDUCATIONAL GOALS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE FOR EVC STUDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE SILICON VALLEY, AN EXPENSIVE REGION IN THE COUNTRY. OVER ITS SIX-YEAR DURATION, THIS PROJECT WILL FUND FORTY-FIVE (45) 2-YEAR SCHOLARSHIPS TO HELP THE SCHOLARS WORK LESS AND FOCUS ON THEIR ACADEMIC PROGRESS. THROUGH A COHORT MODEL, TARGETED MENTORSHIP, INTERNSHIPS, AND ENROLLMENT IN A FIRST-YEAR BIOLOGY-FOCUSED SEMINAR, THESE BIOLOGY SCHOLARS WILL BE SUPPORTED IN THEIR PATHWAY TOWARDS COMPLETION OF AN ASSOCIATES WITH TRANSFER DEGREE, WHICH WILL GUARANTEE THEIR ADMISSION TO A CALIFORNIA PUBLIC FOUR-YEAR UNIVERSITY, THE NEXT STEP ON THEIR WAY TO A BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE CAREER. THIS PROJECT AT EVC INCLUDES PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS, BIOTECH COMPANIES, AND IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY (ISU). ISU WHICH WILL SERVE AS THE INSTITUTION LEADING PROJECT RESEARCH AND EVALUATION. TO INCREASE STEM ASSOCIATES DEGREE COMPLETION AND TRANSFER OF LOW-INCOME, HIGH-ACHIEVING COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED, THE PROJECT WILL PURSUE AN UNDERLYING PROJECT GOAL OF ADVANCING STUDENTS' STEM CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AND PATHWAY NAVIGATION FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO BACCALAUREATE COMPLETION IN BIOLOGY. THE PROJECT WILL PURSUE THIS GOAL THROUGH A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF BIOLOGY STUDENTS AND THEIR COURSEWORK IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE CONTEXT. IN PARTICULAR, THE UNDERLYING GOAL WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH MIXED-METHODS EVALUATION AND ACCOMPANYING FEEDBACK OF THE EFFICACY OF STUDENTS? EVOLVING SCIENCE IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT, ACHIEVEMENT, MOTIVATION, AND CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT. INVESTIGATORS WILL DRAW UPON THREE COMPLEMENTARY PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT IN UNDERGRADUATE SCIENCE; NAMELY, PEREZ?S EXTENSION OF THE EXPECTANCY VALUE FRAMEWORK FOR STEM MAJORS, CALDERON?S SCIENCE IDENTITY FRAMEWORK, AND STANTON-SALAZAR?S AGENTS OF SOCIALIZATION. PROJECT FINDINGS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW MOTIVATION AND SCIENCE IDENTITY EVOLVES OVER THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. AT THE SAME TIME, DIRECTIONS OF INVESTIGATION WILL ADDRESS GAPS IN THE LITERATURE AND PROVIDE PRACTICAL INSIGHT INTO HOW COMMUNITY COLLEGES SHOULD ORGANIZE PROGRAMMING IN ORDER TO FOSTER RELATIONSHIPS THAT PROMOTE ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND TRANSFER. PROJECT INVESTIGATORS WILL DISSEMINATE OUTCOMES AND FINDINGS RELATED TO PROJECT CHALLENGES AND SUCCESSES, ESPECIALLY TO OTHER COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN A SIMILAR SETTING. 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.

PLANNING: SEA-PHAGES-TYCS DCL: BUILDING UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH CAPACITY AT AN URBAN TWO-YEAR COLLEGE THROUGH COURSE-BASED RESEARCH EXPERIENCES -THIS PROJECT AIMS TO SERVE THE NATIONAL INTEREST BY PROVIDING EARLY RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES, INCREASING PERSISTENCE IN BIOLOGY COURSEWORK, AND PREPARING TWO-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO ENTER PATHWAYS THAT LEAD TO THE STEM WORKFORCE. EVERGREEN COLLEGE HAS BEEN SELECTED TO BE PART OF THE HOWARD HUGHES MEDICAL INSTITUTE'S (HHMI) SCIENCE EDUCATION ALLIANCE PHAGE HUNTERS ADVANCING GENOMICS AND EVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE (SEA-PHAGES) INITIATIVE, WHICH PROVIDES A NATIONWIDE COMMUNITY OF STEM FACULTY TO SUPPORT THE ADAPTATION, IMPLEMENTATION AND ASSESSMENT OF AUTHENTIC RESEARCH EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS EARLY IN THE STEM PATHWAY. THE SEA-PHAGES CURRICULUM SPANS TWO-SEMESTERS AND IMMERSES STUDENTS IN DISCOVERY-BASED RESEARCH THAT BEGINS WITH ISOLATING NOVEL BACTERIOPHAGES FROM SOIL AND CONTINUES THROUGH MICROBIOLOGICAL METHODS, GENOME ANNOTATION, AND BIOINFORMATICS ANALYSES. IN DOING SO, THE PROJECT CREATES A VALUABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR A TWO-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO ENGAGE IN A NATIONAL COMMUNITY FOCUSED ON IMPROVING INSTRUCTION AND CONTRIBUTING TO BROADER RESEARCH ON EFFECTIVE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INCREASE SUCCESS AND FACILITATE ACADEMIC PATHWAYS INTO THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE WORKFORCE IN SILICON VALLEY. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, THE SEA-PHAGES CURRICULUM IS INCORPORATED INTO THE BIOLOGY MAJOR'S SERIES WHICH ENGAGES STUDENTS IN THE DISCOVERY AND GENOMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF BACTERIOPHAGES, VIRUSES THAT INFECT AND KILL BACTERIA. ALTHOUGH BACTERIOPHAGES HAVE BEEN STUDIED FOR DECADES, THOUSANDS REMAIN UNDISCOVERED AND STUDYING THEM MAY PROVIDE IMPORTANT INSIGHTS INTO BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE. AS PART OF THIS INITIATIVE, TWO-YEAR COLLEGE FACULTY ENGAGE IN AN ON-GOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY THAT LINKS EDUCATORS NATIONWIDE THROUGH SHARED ACTIVITIES AND COLLABORATION. ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION EFFORTS FOCUS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES SUCH AS PERSISTENCE, CAREER PATHWAY SELECTION, AND CONTENT MASTERY. AN EXTERNAL ADVISORY BOARD PLANS TO COLLECT COURSE ARTIFACTS, PROJECT DELIVERABLES, AND SURVEYS THAT CAPTURE THE SUCCESS AND CHALLENGES OF THE ADAPTATION OF NEW CURRICULUM. DISSEMINATION EFFORTS FOCUS ON STUDENT PRESENTATIONS AT CONFERENCES, AS WELL AS FACULTY PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS AIMED AT INFORMING THE BROADER BIOLOGY EDUCATION COMMUNITY. ULTIMATELY, THIS PROJECT AIMS TO CONTRIBUTE TO A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TWO-YEAR COLLEGES CAN EFFECTIVELY ENGAGE STUDENTS IN RESEARCH EXPERIENCES. THE NSF IUSE: INNOVATION IN TWO-YEAR COLLEGE STEM EDUCATION (ITYC) PROGRAM SEEKS TO ACCELERATE THE IMPACT OF AND ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT EMERGING AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES IN UNDERGRADUATE STEM EDUCATION AT TWO-YEAR COLLEGES. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
