IGE: TRACK 2: THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY WELLBEING ALLIANCE FOR RESEARCH MASTERS (CSU WARM) -THIS NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION INNOVATIONS IN GRADUATE EDUCATION (IGE) TRACK 2 AWARD CREATES THE WELLBEING ALLIANCE FOR RESEARCH MASTERS (WARM), A COLLABORATION BETWEEN FOUR CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY (CSU) CAMPUSES. WARM EXAMINES HOW MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING RELATE TO THE ACADEMIC SUCCESS OF STUDENTS PURSUING GRADUATE DEGREES IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM). WITH THE DECLINE IN MENTAL HEALTH ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, STEM GRADUATE PROGRAMS PRESENT SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES THAT CAN WORSEN STUDENTS? MENTAL WELLBEING. AS A RESULT, MANY STUDENTS TAKE TOO LONG TO COMPLETE THEIR GRADUATE PROGRAMS ? OR DON?T FINISH AT ALL. WARM USES AN INNOVATIVE APP THAT CAN TRACK MENTAL WELLBEING DAILY AND AUTOMATICALLY REFER STUDENTS TO HELPFUL RESOURCES WHEN A CONCERNING DECLINE OCCURS. WARM ALSO SUPPORTS GROUPS OF STUDENTS ON EACH PARTICIPATING CSU CAMPUS, WHO WORK WITH FACULTY FROM VARIOUS ACADEMIC FIELDS TO DESIGN AND DELIVER INTERVENTIONS THAT SUPPORT WELLBEING. SOME OF THESE INTERVENTIONS TEACH THE STUDENTS HOW TO BETTER COPE WITH THEIR EXPERIENCES; OTHERS REMOVE UNNECESSARY BARRIERS TO SUCCESS THAT STEM GRADUATE PROGRAMS MAY PRESENT. WELLBEING PRACTICES THAT WARM IDENTIFIES AS FOUNDATIONAL TO ACADEMIC SUCCESS ARE EASILY SHARED WITH OTHER CAMPUSES, FACILITATING THEIR ADOPTION ELSEWHERE. WARM IS GUIDED BY THREE GENERAL RESEARCH QUESTIONS. FIRST, HOW DO GRADUATE PROGRAM FEATURES RELATE TO STUDENT WELLBEING, PSYCHOSOCIAL (OR NON-COGNITIVE) VARIABLES, AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS? THE PROJECT WILL ADDRESS THIS BY AUDITING PROGRAM PRACTICES AND RELEVANT CAMPUS RESOURCES, CORRELATING THEM WITH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, AND WITH WELLBEING AND MENTAL HEALTH AS ASSESSED BY THE APP AND SURVEYS ADMINISTERED EACH SEMESTER. ANALYSES DISAGGREGATE THE RESULTS BY KEY DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES (SUCH AS GENDER AND FIRST-GENERATION STATUS) AND CONTROL FOR POTENTIAL CONFOUNDS. SECOND, HOW DOES ENGAGEMENT WITH THE APP IMPACT GRADUATE STUDENT WELLBEING, PSYCHOSOCIAL VARIABLES, AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS? THIS INVOLVES PRE/POST ANALYSES THAT EXAMINE HOW ACADEMIC SUCCESS INDICATORS AND SURVEY RESPONSES VARY AFTER STUDENTS BEGIN USING THE APP AND HOW THESE METRICS DIFFER WITH THE LEVEL OF APP UTILIZATION. THIRD, HOW DO TARGETED INTERVENTIONS AFFECT WELLBEING, PSYCHOSOCIAL VARIABLES, AND STUDENT SUCCESS OUTCOMES FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS? THE PROJECT WILL ANSWER THIS QUESTION WITH RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIALS (RCTS) THAT COMPARE INTERVENTION PARTICIPANTS WITH A CONTROL GROUP OF NON-PARTICIPANTS, OR QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS THAT CONTROL FOR SELECTION BIASES AND OTHER POTENTIAL CONFOUNDS. THE INNOVATIONS IN GRADUATE EDUCATION (IGE) PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON RESEARCH IN GRADUATE EDUCATION. THE GOALS OF IGE ARE TO PILOT, TEST AND VALIDATE INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO GRADUATE EDUCATION AND TO GENERATE THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO MOVE THESE APPROACHES INTO THE BROADER COMMUNITY. 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 PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

ROBERT NOYCE TEACHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, STANISLAUS: TEACHERS FROM THE VALLEY, FOR THE VALLEY

CATALYZING NEW PRACTICES FOR THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY TO INNOVATE EFFECTIVE TEACHING PEDAGOGIES IN LOWER-DIVISION MATHEMATICS AND CHEMISTRY COURSES

PREPARING, SUPPORTING, AND DIVERSIFYING STEM TEACHERS FOR HIGH-NEEDS SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA?S CENTRAL VALLEY BY PROMOTING SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE PEDAGOGIES -THIS PROJECT AIMS TO SERVE THE NATIONAL NEED FOR PREPARING AND RETAINING HIGH-QUALITY STEM TEACHERS WHO ARE PREPARED TO TEACH IN HIGH-NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT WHEN TEACHERS AND STUDENTS HAVE SIMILAR DEMOGRAPHICS, STUDENTS' TEST SCORES, ATTENDANCE, AND SUSPENSION RATES ARE POSITIVELY AFFECTED. MARGINALIZED SOCIAL GROUPS CONSISTENTLY BEAR DIFFERENTIAL IMPACTS, AND ALL FIELDS OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS ARE CALLED UPON FOR COMMITMENTS TO IMPROVE STEM KNOWLEDGE AND TO CREATE SOLUTIONS FOR EQUITABLE ADVANCEMENT OF K-12 STUDENTS WITH STEM LITERACIES. TO FOSTER THESE IMPROVEMENTS, A FOCUS OF THE PROJECT WILL BE TO PROVIDE TEACHER PREPARATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STEM MAJORS OR STEM DEGREE HOLDERS TO BECOME EDUCATORS WITH STRONG CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AND PEDAGOGICAL EXPERTISE THAT TARGET SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE INITIATIVES. TEACHER PREPARATION AND INDUCTION WILL EMPHASIZE EMPOWERMENT, TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERSHIP, EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES, AND RESEARCH-INFORMED INSTRUCTION THROUGH PLANNED CURRICULAR AND INDUCTION-PERIOD ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS PARTICIPATION IN A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY. THIS WILL ENABLE HIGH-NEED SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL VALLEY AND OTHER AREAS NATIONWIDE TO PROVIDE THEIR STUDENTS A STRONG AND INCLUSIVE SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION. THIS, IN TURN, WILL HELP PREPARE MANY OF THESE SAME STUDENTS FOR THE STEM WORKFORCE. THIS PROJECT AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY-STANISLAUS (CSU-STANISLAUS), AN HISPANIC SERVING INSTITUTION (HSI), INCLUDES PARTNERSHIPS WITH TURLOCK UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (USD), STOCKTON USD, AND MODESTO CITY SCHOOLS. THE PROJECT WILL BE GUIDED BY SEVERAL GOALS. FIRST, OVER FIVE YEARS, THE PROJECT WILL RECRUIT AND PREPARE A DIVERSE SET OF TWENTY-FIVE (25) HIGH-QUALITY STUDENTS, WHO ARE UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS OR WHO HAVE A DEGREE, IN BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, COMPUTER SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, GEOSCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, OR PHYSICS, TO BECOME K-12 STEM TEACHERS IN HIGH-NEEDS SCHOOLS. A SPECIAL FOCUS WILL BE ON RECRUITING STUDENTS OF COLOR AND OTHER MINORITIES WHO ARE TRADITIONALLY UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE STEM ARENA. THE SCHOLARS, WHO WOULD BE SUPPORTED FOR UP TO THREE YEARS IF A CURRENT UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT, AND FOR ONE CREDENTIALING YEAR IF ALREADY HOLDING A STEM DEGREE, WOULD REPRESENT AN INCREASE OF TWENTY-FIVE STEM TEACHERS BEYOND CURRENT NUMBERS. SECOND, PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND CSU-STANISLAUS CURRICULA WILL PROVIDE THESE PROSPECTIVE STEM TEACHERS WITH HIGH-LEVEL STEM CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURALLY SUSTAINING PEDAGOGIES AS WELL AS LEADERSHIP, SOCIO-EMOTIONAL LEARNING, AND ACTIVE LEARNING SKILLS AND EXPERTISE TO PREPARE THEM FOR THEIR FUTURE CLASSROOMS IN HIGH-NEEDS SCHOOLS. THIS PROCESS WILL ALSO FEATURE PREPARATION WITH RESPECT TO NATIONAL NARRATIVES, FRAMEWORKS, AND STANDARDS CONCERNING TEACHING AND STUDENT LEARNING. A THIRD GOAL IS TO DECREASE TEACHER BURNOUT AND ATTRITION RATES BY CREATING AN INDUCTION PROCESS THAT INCLUDES A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES AIMED AT CONNECTING PRACTICING STEM TEACHERS WITH ONE ANOTHER. A FOURTH GOAL IS TO CREATE, IMPLEMENT, STUDY, SUSTAIN, AND DISSEMINATE A MODEL THAT (1) INVOLVES RESEARCH-BASED BEST PRACTICES TO PREPARE AND RETAIN PROSPECTIVE STEM TEACHERS, ESPECIALLY FROM TRADITIONALLY MARGINALIZED GROUPS, AND (2) EMPHASIZES PEDAGOGIES THAT ATTEND TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION. COMPREHENSIVE MIXED-METHODS PROJECT EVALUATION WILL PROVIDE FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT AND FEEDBACK. THROUGH PUBLICATIONS, CONFERENCES PRESENTATIONS, AND WORKSHOPS, INVESTIGATORS WILL PROACTIVELY DISSEMINATE PROJECT FINDINGS AND OUTCOMES TO OTHER CSU CAMPUSES AND NATIONWIDE. THIS TRACK 1: SCHOLARSHIPS AND STIPENDS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED THROUGH THE ROBERT NOYCE TEACHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM (NOYCE). THE NOYCE PROGRAM SUPPORTS TALENTED STEM UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS AND PROFESSIONALS TO BECOME EFFECTIVE K-12 STEM TEACHERS AND EXPERIENCED, EXEMPLARY K-12 TEACHERS TO BECOME STEM MASTER TEACHERS IN HIGH-NEEDS SCHOOL DISTRICTS. IT ALSO SUPPORTS RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTIVENESS AND RETENTION OF K-12 STEM TEACHERS IN HIGH-NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS. 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.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS/ENTITLEMENT GRANTS

PURPOSE: THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM PROVIDES ANNUAL GRANTS ON A FORMULA BASIS TO STATES, CITIES, AND COUNTIES TO DEVELOP VIABLE URBAN COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING DECENT HOUSING AND A SUITABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, AND BY EXPANDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, PRINCIPALLY FOR LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS. THE PROGRAM IS AUTHORIZED UNDER TITLE 1 OF THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974, PUBLIC LAW 93-383, AS AMENDED 42 U.S.C. 5301 ET SEQ. THE CDBG PROGRAM COVERS FOUR DISTINCT PROGRAMS, EACH WITH THEIR OWN SET OF GOVERNING REGULATIONS: CDBG ENTITLEMENT, CDBG NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES IN HAWAII, CDBG INSULAR AREAS, AND STATE CDBG. IN THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM, HUD AWARDS GRANTS TO ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY GRANTEES TO CARRY OUT A WIDE RANGE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITIES DEVELOP THEIR OWN PROGRAMS AND FUNDING PRIORITIES. IN THE CDBG NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES IN HAWAII PROGRAM, THREE COUNTIES QUALIFY: HAWAII, KAUAI, AND MAUI. THE FY 2004 APPROPRIATIONS ACT REQUIRED THE GOVERNOR OF HAWAII TO DECIDE IF THE STATE WISHED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM BY JULY 31, 2004. THE STATE MADE THE DECISION NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. AS A RESULT OF THIS DECISION HUD'S HONOLULU FIELD OFFICE ADMINISTERS THE NON-ENTITLED GRANTS IN HAWAII. FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED USING A FORMULA BASED ON POPULATION, POVERTY, AND HOUSING OVERCROWDING, WITH THE POVERTY FACTOR CARRYING A DOUBLE WEIGHT. FOR THE CDBG INSULAR AREAS PROGRAM, HUD ANNUALLY ALLOCATES CDBG GRANTS TO FOUR DESIGNATED AREAS: AMERICAN SAMOA; GUAM; NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS; AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. THE FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED IN PROPORTION TO THE POPULATIONS OF THE ELIGIBLE TERRITORIES. THE PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED BY HUD'S FIELD OFFICES IN PUERTO RICO AND HAWAII. UNDER THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, STATES PASS THROUGH CDBG GRANTS TO UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT. ANNUALLY, EACH STATE DEVELOPS FUNDING PRIORITIES AND CRITERIA FOR SELECTING PROJECTS. SINCE STATES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW, AND TO RESPOND TO, THE NEEDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONGRESS AMENDED THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 (HCD ACT) IN 1981 TO GIVE EACH STATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS FOR NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS. NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS INCLUDE THOSE UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHICH DO NOT RECEIVE CDBG FUNDS DIRECTLY FROM HUD. GENERALLY, NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS ARE CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 50,000 (EXCEPT CITIES THAT ARE DESIGNATED PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS), AND COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 200,000. CURRENT CDBG AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS LIST OF HUD COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (CPD) AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/ALLOCATIONS-AWARDS/; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: CDBG FUNDS MAY BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY; RELOCATION AND DEMOLITION; REHABILITATION OF RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES; CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS, SUCH AS WATER AND SEWER FACILITIES, STREETS, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, AND THE CONVERSION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS FOR ELIGIBLE PURPOSES; PUBLIC SERVICES, WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS; ACTIVITIES RELATING TO ENERGY CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES; PROVISION OF ASSISTANCE TO PROFIT-MOTIVATED BUSINESSES TO CARRY OUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB CREATION/RETENTION ACTIVITIES. EACH ACTIVITY MUST MEET ONE OF THE FOLLOWING NATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROGRAM: BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS, PREVENTION OR ELIMINATION OF SLUMS OR BLIGHT, OR ADDRESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS HAVING A PARTICULAR URGENCY BECAUSE EXISTING CONDITIONS POSE A SERIOUS AND IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE HEALTH OR WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY FOR WHICH OTHER FUNDING IS NOT AVAILABLE. GENERALLY, THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACTIVITIES ARE INELIGIBLE: ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, OR RECONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS FOR THE GENERAL CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT; POLITICAL ACTIVITIES; CERTAIN INCOME PAYMENTS; CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOUSING (WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS). UNDER THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, STATES MAY USE $100,000 PLUS UP TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE PERCENT OF ITS CDBG ALLOCATION. AMOUNTS EXPENDED ON ADMINISTRATION IN EXCESS OF $100,000 MUST BE MATCHED. STATES MAY EXPEND UP TO THREE PERCENT OF THEIR CDBG ALLOCATION ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, THE TOTAL A STATE SPENDS ON BOTH ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE EXPENSES MAY NOT EXCEED $100,000 PLUS THREE PERCENT OF THE STATE'S ALLOCATION. CPD HAS DEVELOPED PROFILES THAT DISPLAY GRANTEE-REPORTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR SELECTED HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, AND PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES. PROFILES FOR GRANTEES WILL VARY, AS GRANTEES HAVE FLEXIBILITY IN DETERMINING THE HOUSING, ECONOMIC, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THEY CARRY OUT WITH CDBG FUNDS. THE MOST RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS CAN BE VIEWED WITHIN THE NATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORTS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/PROGRAMS/CDBG/CDBG-ACCOMPLISHMENT-REPORTS/; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE CDBG PROGRAM REINFORCES SEVERAL IMPORTANT VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: PROGRAM FLEXIBILITY TO EMPOWER PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TAILORED TO THEIR OWN NEEDS AND PRIORITIES; AN EMPHASIS ON CONSOLIDATED PLANNING THAT EXPANDS AND STRENGTHENS PARTNERSHIPS AMONG ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN ENHANCING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES AND SET-ASIDE FOR GRANTEES TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF THESE PARTNERS. EACH CDBG GRANTEE’S EXPECTED OUTCOMES ARE DESCRIBED AS GOALS IN THEIR CONSOLIDATED PLAN. THE MOST RECENT CONSOLIDATED PLANS CAN BE VIEWED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/REPORTS/#CONSOLIDATED-PLANS-ANNUAL-ACTION-PLANS-AND-CAPERS; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: OVER A 1, 2, OR 3-YEAR PERIOD, AS SELECTED BY THE GRANTEE, NOT LESS THAN 70 PERCENT OF CDBG FUNDS MUST BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES THAT BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS. HUD DOES NOT PROVIDE CDBG ASSISTANCE DIRECTLY TO INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, NONPROFIT OR ORGANIZATIONS OR OTHER NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM, SHOULD CONTACT THEIR LOCAL MUNICIPAL OR COUNTY OFFICIALS TO FIND OUT HOW THE PROGRAM OPERATES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS MAY DIFFER FROM ONE GRANTEE TO ANOTHER. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANTEE ADMINISTERS THE CDBG PROGRAM AND DETERMINES WHICH LOCAL PROJECTS RECEIVE FUNDING. ELIGIBLE GRANTEES ARE AS FOLLOWS: PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS (MSAS); OTHER METROPOLITAN CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 50,000; QUALIFIED URBAN COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 200,000 (EXCLUDING THE POPULATION OF ENTITLED CITIES); STATES AND INSULAR AREAS. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA IS FUNDED UNDER THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM. THE STATE OF HAWAII DOES NOT PARTICIPATE, AND HUD ALLOCATES THE STATE'S SHARE OF FUNDS TO THE THREE HAWAII NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES. THE STATES ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS IN THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM. SINCE STATES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW, AND TO RESPOND TO, THE NEEDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONGRESS AMENDED THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 (HCD ACT) IN 1981 TO GIVE EACH STATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS FOR NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF AWARD.

**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2011, THE FOOD SAFETY MODERNIZATION ACT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED THE WAY THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY ADDRESSES FOOD SAFETY. IN THIS TIME OF PANDEMIC, TRACEABILITY, AGRICULTURAL LABOR SHORTAGES AND SCRUTINY OF FOOD PROCESSING, THE DEMAND FOR STRINGENT FOOD SAFETY PRACTICES IS EVEN MORE CRITICAL. AS AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIES FACE NEW CHALLENGES OF REGULATION AND TRANSPARENCY, THERE WILL BE A GROWING DEMAND FOR WELL-TRAINED FOOD SAFETY ENGINEERS AND MANAGERS. MOREOVER, THE NATIONAL FOCUS ON STEM EDUCATION HAS TYPICALLY OVERLOOKED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN STEM AND AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES. THE NEXT GENERATION WORKFORCE MUST IMPLEMENT THE FSMA GUIDELINES AND ADAPT TO LABOR SHORTAGES, THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON FOOD PRODUCTION, SHIPPING, GROWING, SOURCING AND PACKAGING - ALL WITH INCREASED SENSITIVITY TO FOOD TRACEABILITY AND RISKS.THE CAREER READY -AG FOOD SAFETY (CRAFS) PATHWAY WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO RECOGNIZE AND ENGAGE IN CONNECTIONS TO AGRICULTURE THEY MAY NOT HAVE PREVIOUSLY SEEN. IT EXPANDS FROM THE TRADITIONAL FOCUS OF AGRICULTURE MAJORS AND INCORPORATES STEM MAJORS WHOSE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE COMPLEMENT FOOD SAFETY NEEDS OF AGRICULTURE INDUSTRIES. WE WILL DEVELOP A CROSS-DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ATTRACT STUDENTS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS WHO MAY SHY AWAY FROM AG-BASED PROGRAMS DUE TO A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE BREADTH OF CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS WITH A SCIENCE-BASED CURRICULUM, INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED CERTIFICATIONS, AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IN AGRICULTURE INDUSTRIES. THE OVERARCHING GOALS OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDE THE ADVANCEMENT OF CONVERGENCE BETWEEN STEM, SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURE STUDIES TO MEET THE NEEDS AND CHALLENGES OF AN INDUSTRY CRITICAL TO OUR CENTRAL VALLEY AREA. ADDITIONALLY, IN EDUCATING STUDENTS ABOUT THE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE IN THE FOOD SAFETY AREA AND ALIGNING THEIR INTERESTS WITH THE CHALLENGES INDUSTRY FACES IN THE RECRUITMENT OF THE NEXT GENERATION WORKFORCE,AN EDUCATION TO INDUSTRY PIPELINE BENEFITS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS INCLUDE THOSE UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHICH DO NOT RECEIVE CDBG FUNDS DIRECTLY FROM HUD. GENERALLY, NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS ARE CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 50,000 (EXCEPT CITIES THAT ARE DESIGNATED PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS), AND COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 200,000. CURRENT CDBG AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS LIST OF HUD COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (CPD) AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/ALLOCATIONS-AWARDS/; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: CDBG FUNDS MAY BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY; RELOCATION AND DEMOLITION; REHABILITATION OF RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES; CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS, SUCH AS WATER AND SEWER FACILITIES, STREETS, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, AND THE CONVERSION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS FOR ELIGIBLE PURPOSES; PUBLIC SERVICES, WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS; ACTIVITIES RELATING TO ENERGY CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES; PROVISION OF ASSISTANCE TO PROFIT-MOTIVATED BUSINESSES TO CARRY OUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB CREATION/RETENTION ACTIVITIES. EACH ACTIVITY MUST MEET ONE OF THE FOLLOWING NATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROGRAM: BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS, PREVENTION OR ELIMINATION OF SLUMS OR BLIGHT, OR ADDRESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS HAVING A PARTICULAR URGENCY BECAUSE EXISTING CONDITIONS POSE A SERIOUS AND IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE HEALTH OR WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY FOR WHICH OTHER FUNDING IS NOT AVAILABLE. GENERALLY, THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACTIVITIES ARE INELIGIBLE: ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, OR RECONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS FOR THE GENERAL CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT; POLITICAL ACTIVITIES; CERTAIN INCOME PAYMENTS; CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOUSING (WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS). UNDER THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, STATES MAY USE $100,000 PLUS UP TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE PERCENT OF ITS CDBG ALLOCATION. AMOUNTS EXPENDED ON ADMINISTRATION IN EXCESS OF $100,000 MUST BE MATCHED. STATES MAY EXPEND UP TO THREE PERCENT OF THEIR CDBG ALLOCATION ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, THE TOTAL A STATE SPENDS ON BOTH ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE EXPENSES MAY NOT EXCEED $100,000 PLUS THREE PERCENT OF THE STATE'S ALLOCATION. CPD HAS DEVELOPED PROFILES THAT DISPLAY GRANTEE-REPORTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR SELECTED HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, AND PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES. PROFILES FOR GRANTEES WILL VARY, AS GRANTEES HAVE FLEXIBILITY IN DETERMINING THE HOUSING, ECONOMIC, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THEY CARRY OUT WITH CDBG FUNDS. THE MOST RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS CAN BE VIEWED WITHIN THE NATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORTS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/PROGRAMS/CDBG/CDBG-ACCOMPLISHMENT-REPORTS/; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE CDBG PROGRAM REINFORCES SEVERAL IMPORTANT VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: PROGRAM FLEXIBILITY TO EMPOWER PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TAILORED TO THEIR OWN NEEDS AND PRIORITIES; AN EMPHASIS ON CONSOLIDATED PLANNING THAT EXPANDS AND STRENGTHENS PARTNERSHIPS AMONG ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN ENHANCING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES AND SET-ASIDE FOR GRANTEES TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF THESE PARTNERS.

THE MOST RECENT CONSOLIDATED PLANS CAN BE VIEWED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/REPORTS/#CONSOLIDATED-PLANS-ANNUAL-ACTION-PLANS-AND-CAPERS; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: OVER A 1, 2, OR 3-YEAR PERIOD, AS SELECTED BY THE GRANTEE, NOT LESS THAN 70 PERCENT OF CDBG FUNDS MUST BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES THAT BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS. HUD DOES NOT PROVIDE CDBG ASSISTANCE DIRECTLY TO INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, NONPROFIT OR ORGANIZATIONS OR OTHER NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM, SHOULD CONTACT THEIR LOCAL MUNICIPAL OR COUNTY OFFICIALS TO FIND OUT HOW THE PROGRAM OPERATES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS MAY DIFFER FROM ONE GRANTEE TO ANOTHER. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANTEE ADMINISTERS THE CDBG PROGRAM AND DETERMINES WHICH LOCAL PROJECTS RECEIVE FUNDING. ELIGIBLE GRANTEES ARE AS FOLLOWS: PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS (MSAS); OTHER METROPOLITAN CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 50,000; QUALIFIED URBAN COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 200,000 (EXCLUDING THE POPULATION OF ENTITLED CITIES); STATES AND INSULAR AREAS. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA IS FUNDED UNDER THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM. THE STATE OF HAWAII DOES NOT PARTICIPATE, AND HUD ALLOCATES THE STATE'S SHARE OF FUNDS TO THE THREE HAWAII NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES. THE STATES ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS IN THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM. SINCE STATES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW, AND TO RESPOND TO, THE NEEDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONGRESS AMENDED THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 (HCD ACT) IN 1981 TO GIVE EACH STATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS FOR NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF AWARD.

LEAPS-MPS: EXPLORING PROPERTIES OF LINEAR COMPARTMENTAL MODELS -THIS PROJECT EXPLORES HOW MATHEMATICAL DIAGRAMS CALLED LINEAR COMPARTMENTAL MODELS (LCMS) CAN HELP RESEARCHERS UNDERSTAND THE STRUCTURE AND BEHAVIOR OF SYSTEMS INVOLVING MOVEMENT OR FLOW, INCLUDING HOW DISEASES SPREAD, HOW NUTRIENTS CYCLE THROUGH ECOSYSTEMS, OR HOW MEDICATIONS ARE PROCESSED IN THE BODY. THESE MODELS REPRESENT SYSTEMS AS INTERCONNECTED COMPARTMENTS, WITH ARROWS INDICATING HOW QUANTITIES MOVE BETWEEN THEM. THE INVESTIGATOR AIMS TO IDENTIFY WHEN MEANINGFUL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE SYSTEMS, SUCH AS FLOW RATES, CAN BE RELIABLY EXTRACTED FROM DATA, AND WHEN DIFFERENT MODELS MIGHT APPEAR IDENTICAL IN PRACTICE. THE PROJECT?S GOAL IS TO CREATE SIMPLE, VISUAL TESTS FOR ANALYZING THESE CHARACTERISTICS OF LCMS, MAKING THE PROCESS MORE ACCESSIBLE AND LESS COMPUTATIONALLY INTENSIVE. THIS PROJECT PROVIDES UNDERGRADUATES WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN CUTTING-EDGE MATHEMATICAL RESEARCH AND EQUIPS THEM WITH BACKGROUND NEEDED TO PURSUE FURTHER EDUCATION. A NEW COLLOQUIUM SERIES WILL FURTHER EXPAND STUDENTS? EXPOSURE TO GRADUATE-LEVEL RESEARCH AND SUPPORT THEIR PREPARATION FOR ADVANCED STUDY. THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS OF IDENTIFIABILITY AND INDISTINGUISHABILITY IN LINEAR COMPARTMENTAL MODELS, WHICH ARE WIDELY USED TO REPRESENT DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS WITH FLOW. IDENTIFIABILITY, THE ABILITY TO RECOVER MODEL PARAMETERS FROM INPUT-OUTPUT DATA, HAS BEEN WELL-STUDIED FOR SINGLE-INPUT, SINGLE-OUTPUT, STRONGLY CONNECTED LCMS, AND THIS PROJECT EXTENDS THE SCOPE OF CURRENT THEORY. THE FIRST RESEARCH OBJECTIVE IS TO INVESTIGATE IRREDUCIBILITY IN LCMS, LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR IDENTIFIABILITY RESULTS FOR MODELS WITH MULTIPLE INPUTS/OUTPUTS AND WEAKER GRAPH STRUCTURES. A SECOND OBJECTIVE FOCUSES ON A CLASS OF MODELS KNOWN AS SKELETAL PATH MODELS, WHICH ARE NOT STRONGLY CONNECTED BUT HAVE A WELL-UNDERSTOOD STRUCTURE AND SERVE AS PROMISING CANDIDATES FOR GENERALIZING IDENTIFIABILITY THEORY. THE FINAL OBJECTIVE IS TO EXAMINE INDISTINGUISHABILITY, A PROPERTY IN WHICH STRUCTURALLY DISTINCT MODELS PRODUCE INDISTINGUISHABLE OUTPUT BEHAVIOR. THE INVESTIGATOR AND UNDERGRADUATE COLLABORATORS WILL EXPLORE THIS QUESTION THROUGH THE STUDY OF CYCLE MODELS, WHICH HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ANALYZED FOR IDENTIFIABILITY BUT NOT FOR INDISTINGUISHABILITY. THE PROJECT EMPHASIZES VISUAL AND COMBINATORIAL APPROACHES TO MODEL ANALYSIS, ENHANCING ACCESSIBILITY FOR UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHERS. 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.

LEAPS-MPS: SEARCHING FOR AN EXTENDED HIGGS SECTOR AT THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER -THE STANDARD MODEL OF PARTICLE PHYSICS DESCRIBES THE FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUENTS OF THE UNIVERSE AND THEIR INTERACTIONS. ONE OF THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC TRIUMPHS OF THIS CENTURY WAS THE DISCOVERY OF THE HIGGS BOSON IN 2012. THIS MADE THE STANDARD MODEL COMPLETE AND SELF-CONSISTENT. HOWEVER, THERE REMAIN SEVERAL PHENOMENA THAT THE STANDARD MODEL DOES NOT EXPLAIN, INCLUDING DARK MATTER, THE EXISTENCE OF MATTER INSTEAD OF ANTIMATTER, THE HUGE DISPARITY BETWEEN THE STRENGTH OF THE NON-GRAVITATIONAL FORCES AND THAT OF GRAVITY, ETC. MANY OF THESE PHENOMENA CAN BE EXPLAINED BY EXTENDING THE STANDARD MODEL AND POPULAR EXTENSIONS INVOLVE ADDITIONAL HIGGS BOSONS. THE PI PROPOSES TO SEARCH FOR THESE ADDITIONAL HIGGS BOSONS AT THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER AS PART OF THE ATLAS COLLABORATION. HE HAS IDENTIFIED A PARTICULAR SIGNATURE THAT HAS NOT BEEN THOROUGHLY STUDIED AND PROPOSES TO DO A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF THIS SIGNATURE. THE PROJECT IS ACCESSIBLE TO UNDERGRADUATES AND THE PI WILL RECRUIT SEVERAL STUDENTS TO WORK ON THE COMPUTATIONAL ASPECTS AND TRAVEL TO CERN TO WORK WITH OTHERS IN THE COLLABORATION. AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THIS COLLABORATION IS THE OPEN DATA PROJECT, WHICH RELEASES DATA, SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS TOOLS TO THE PUBLIC, AND THE PI WILL WORK WITH UNDERGRADUATES AS WELL AS LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS TO DEVELOP THIS MATERIAL. HIS INSTITUTION, CSU STANISLAUS, IS A HISPANIC-SERVING INSTITUTION WHICH IS LARGELY FIRST-GENERATION AND LOW-INCOME. MANY EXTENSIONS OF THE STANDARD MODEL INVOLVE ADDITIONAL SINGLET OR DOUBLET SCALAR FIELDS WHICH THEN PREDICT THE EXISTENCE OF NEW SCALAR BOSONS SIMILAR TO THE HIGGS BOSON AND WHICH MIGHT MIX WITH THE STANDARD MODEL HIGGS. THE PI PROPOSES TO SEARCH FOR A CLASS OF THESE SCALARS USING DATA FROM THE ATLAS EXPERIMENT AT THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER, FOCUSING ON RESONANT SCALAR PRODUCTION IN THE HIGHLY SENSITIVE 2-BOTTOM QUARK, 2- TAU FINAL STATE. THE SEARCH WILL INCLUDE DEVELOPING SELECTION CRITERIA TO SEPARATE SIGNAL FROM BACKGROUND, ESTIMATING BACKGROUND PROCESSES USING DATA-DRIVEN TECHNIQUES AND DEVELOPING MACHINE-LEARNING METHODS TO RECONSTRUCT AND IDENTIFY THE 2-TAU SIGNATURE ARISING FROM A RESONANCE OF AN UNKNOWN MASS. THERE ARE SEVERAL DISTINCT PROJECTS, INCLUDING A SIGNAL MONTE CARLO SIMULATION, SIGNAL TOPOLOGY, TRIGGER EFFICIENCY, MISSING MASS CALCULATOR AND SIGNAL SELECTION. UNDERGRADUATES WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN ALL OF THESE PROJECTS. ALTHOUGH A SEARCH HAS BEEN STUDIED BY THE CMS COLLABORATION, IT HAS NOT YET BEEN DONE BY ATLAS WHICH MIGHT PROVIDE STRONGER LIMITS (OR A DISCOVERY). THE PROJECT WILL BE PERFORMED PRIMARILY BY UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ATLAS COLLABORATION. ? 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.

LEAPS MPS: THE ERDOS-KO-RADO PROPERTY OF WELL-COVERED GRAPHS -MANY TYPES OF RELATIONS AND PROCESSES, INCLUDING PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS, CAN BE MODELED USING A GRAPH. GRAPH MODELS OF SUCH SYSTEMS TEND TO BE VERY LARGE, REQUIRING MATHEMATICAL TECHNIQUES THAT CAN EXTRACT GLOBAL INFORMATION FROM THE GRAPH AT THE SMALLER, LOCAL LEVEL. EXTREMAL GRAPH THEORY CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS THE STUDY OF HOW GLOBAL PROPERTIES OF A GRAPH INFLUENCE ITS LOCAL STRUCTURE. THE AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INVESTIGATE QUESTIONS IN EXTREMAL GRAPH THEORY, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT RELATE TO A WELL-KNOWN EXTREMAL SET THEORY RESULT CALLED THE ERDOS-KO-RADO THEOREM. UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCHERS AT THE PI?S HISPANIC-SERVING INSTITUTION WILL WORK IN PAIRS TO TAKE ON PARTS OF THIS PROJECT. THESE STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN HOW TO LEVERAGE THEIR INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS WHILE CONDUCTING CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH. ADDITIONALLY, A COLLOQUIUM SERIES WILL BE ESTABLISHED WITHIN THIS PROJECT TO CONNECT STUDENTS AND FACULTY IN THE PI?S DEPARTMENT TO HIGH-IMPACT ROLE MODELS IN THE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES. THE ERDOS-KO-RADO (EKR) THEOREM IS A PIVOTAL RESULT IN EXTREMAL SET THEORY THAT GIVES AN UPPER BOUND ON THE NUMBER OF SETS OF A FIXED SIZE THAT ARE PAIRWISE INTERSECTING. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST IS THE STRAIGHTFORWARD CONSTRUCTION OF AN INTERSECTING FAMILY THAT ATTAINS THIS BOUND BY COLLECTING ALL SETS OF THE SPECIFIED SIZE THAT CONTAIN SOME FIXED ELEMENT. IN 2005, HOLROYD, SPENCER, AND TALBOT FORMULATED AN EKR PROPERTY FOR GRAPHS RELATED TO INTERSECTING FAMILIES OF INDEPENDENT SETS. THIS PROPERTY HAS A CORRESPONDING CONSTRUCTION, CALLED AN R-STAR, THAT TAKES ALL INDEPENDENT SETS OF SIZE R CONTAINING A FIXED VERTEX OF THE GRAPH. A GRAPH IS CALLED R-EKR IF THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF AN INTERSECTING FAMILY OF SIZE R INDEPENDENT SETS IS EQUAL TO THE SIZE OF THE LARGEST R-STAR IN THE GRAPH. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO STUDY THE R-EKR PROPERTY, AND RELATED CONCEPTS, FOR CERTAIN CLASSES OF GRAPHS. 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.

SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOXES (VULPES MACROTIS MUTICA) ARE THREATENED WITH EXTINCTION PRIMARILY DUE TO PROFOUND HABITAT LOSS AND DEGRADATION THROUGHOUT THEIR RANGE. THESE HABITAT IMPACTS HAVE INCREASED FRAGMENTATION RESULTING IN SMALLER, MORE ISOLATED POPULATIONS THAT ARE AT ENHANCED RISK OF EXTIRPATION DUE TO STOCHASTIC OR CATASTROPHIC EVENTS SUCH AS DISEASE EPIDEMICS. DISEASE HAD NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED PREVIOUSLY AS A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOXES. HOWEVER, IN 2013, SARCOPTIC MANGE WAS DETECTED IN KIT FOXES IN THE BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA, AND THE DISEASE RAPIDLY EXPANDED INTO AN EPIDEMIC WITH HIGH FOX MORTALITY RATES. IN EARLY 2019, MANGE ALSO WAS DETECTED IN KIT FOXES IN THE TOWN OF TAFT LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 50 KM WEST OF BAKERSFIELD AND SIGNIFICANT FOX MORTALITY HAS OCCURRED. ALSO, IN LATE 2018, A KIT FOX WAS FOUND DEAD IN THE PANOCHE VALLEY AND CAUSE OF DEATH WAS DETERMINED TO BE CANINE DISTEMPER VIRUS (CDV). SEVERAL MORE FOXES DYING OF CDV WERE FOUND IN EARLY 2019. THESE WERE THE FIRST DOCUMENTED SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOX MORTALITIES FROM THIS DISEASE AND IT IS UNKNOWN WHETHER THE DISEASE IS PRESENT ELSEWHERE IN THE RANGE. WE PROPOSE TO (1) DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF SPREAD AND POPULATION IMPACTS OF SARCOPTIC MANGE ON SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOXES, AND DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO CONTROL OR ELIMINATE MANGE AMONG KIT FOXES, (2) DETERMINE SPATIAL PATTERNS OF EXPOSURE OF SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOXES TO CDV AND IDENTIFY FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPOSURE (E.G., PROXIMITY TO DOMESTIC DOGS, GRAY FOXES), AND (3) ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF RISK POSED BY DISEASE TO THE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY OF SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOXES. THIS PROJECT WILL MITIGATE CURRENT IMPACTS TO SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOX POPULATIONS FROM SARCOPTIC MANGE, ASSESS RISK TO KIT FOXES FROM CANINE DISTEMPER AND OTHER DISEASES, IDENTIFY POTENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR FUTURE DISEASE MANAGEMENT, AND GENERATE DATA THAT WILL INFORM A PLANNED FUTURE METAPOPULATION VIABILITY ANALYSIS. THIS PROJECT WILL EXTEND AND BUILD UPON A PREVIOUS CVPCP-FUNDED EFFORT ADDRESSING DISEASE IN SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOXES.

DEVELOPING OPEN RESPONSE ASSESSMENTS TO EVALUATE HOW UNDERGRADUATES ENGAGE IN MATHEMATICAL SENSEMAKING IN BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, AND PHYSICS -THIS PROJECT AIMS TO SERVE THE NATIONAL INTEREST BY DEVELOPING NEW TOOLS TO ASSESS HOW STUDENTS ENGAGE IN MAKING SENSE OF QUANTITATIVE PROBLEMS IN BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, AND PHYSICS. MATHEMATICAL SENSEMAKING IN SCIENCE FOCUSES ON STUDENTS? ABILITY TO BLEND CORE DISCIPLINARY SCIENCE IDEAS WITH CROSS-CUTTING MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS, SUCH AS PATTERNS AND PROPORTIONS, WHILE ENGAGING IN SCIENTIFIC PRACTICES SUCH AS COMPUTATIONAL THINKING, MAKING PREDICTIONS, AND REASONING FROM EVIDENCE. CURRENT VISIONS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STEM EDUCATION STRESS THE NEED TO INTEGRATE I) KEY DISCIPLINARY IDEAS AND II) CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS WITH III) AUTHENTIC SCIENTIFIC PRACTICES, RESULTING IN WHAT IS CALLED THREE-DIMENSIONAL LEARNING. THIS REQUIRES DEVELOPING NEW ASSESSMENTS WITH THE ABILITY TO DETECT WHEN STUDENTS ENGAGE IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL LEARNING AND REVEAL THIS TO INSTRUCTORS. THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO EXTEND PREVIOUS WORK TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO OBSERVE MATHEMATICAL SENSEMAKING IN SCIENCE IN THE CLASSROOM. THE PROJECT PLANS TO DEVELOP OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS TO EXPLORE UNDERGRADUATE MATHEMATICAL SENSEMAKING IN SCIENCE USING THREE DIMENSIONAL LEARNING ASSESSMENTS. THIS SERVES THE GOAL OF IMPROVING STEM EDUCATION AT THE UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL BY PROVIDING ENGAGING AND AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENTS CAPABLE OF REVEALING STUDENT THINKING. FINDINGS FROM THIS PROJECT SHOULD HELP INFORM TEACHING PRACTICE IN UNDERGRADUATE STEM COURSES AND HELP STUDENTS FOSTER COMPUTATIONAL THINKING SKILLS. THE PROJECT WILL TARGET TWO AIMS. AIM 1 IS TO APPLY AN EVIDENCE-CENTERED DESIGN PROCESS TO DEVELOP OPEN-ENDED ASSESSMENT ITEMS THAT ELICIT MATHEMATICAL SENSEMAKING IN SCIENCE (MASS) AND ALIGN WITH A THREE-DIMENSIONAL LEARNING (3DL) ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK. THE EVIDENCE-CENTERED DESIGN APPROACH FOR THE ASSESSMENTS WILL PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT VALIDITY EVIDENCE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS AND ALLOW DEVELOPMENT OF SIMILAR ITEMS ACROSS DISCIPLINES. ASSESSMENT TASKS AND CODING RUBRICS WILL BE BASED ON FRAMEWORKS FOR 3DL AND MASS, AND WILL BE ITERATIVELY REVISED TO ELICIT AND CATEGORIZE STUDENT MASS. THE PROJECT WILL CONDUCT INTERVIEWS WITH UNDERGRADUATES TO EXAMINE THEIR MASS WHILE COMPLETING THE ASSESSMENT ITEMS, AND WITH COLLEGE FACULTY TO ENSURE ALIGNMENT WITH DISCIPLINARY TOPICS AND PHENOMENA COMMON IN COLLEGE COURSES. AIM 2 IS TO ADMINISTER CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE ITEMS ACROSS UNDERGRADUATE SCIENCE DISCIPLINES TO EXPLORE HOW UNDERGRADUATES ENGAGE IN MASS ACROSS BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, AND PHYSICS. THE PROJECT WILL ADMINISTER THE ASSESSMENT ITEMS FROM AIM 1 AT A DIVERSE SET OF UNDERGRADUATE INSTITUTIONS TO COLLECT STUDENT RESPONSES. THESE RESPONSES WILL BE USED TO ESTABLISH EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY, RELIABILITY, AND FAIRNESS OF THE ITEMS QUANTITATIVELY. FURTHER, THE RESPONSES WILL BE USED TO EXPLORE HOW UNDERGRADUATES ENGAGE IN MASS IN VARIED SCIENCE DISCIPLINES. THE PROJECT MEETS THE NEED FOR DEVELOPING RICH, FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT ITEMS FOR UNDERGRADUATE 3DL THAT REVEAL STUDENT THINKING, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR INSTRUCTION AIMED TO FOSTER MASS. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW UNDERGRADUATES INTEGRATE THINKING ABOUT KEY STEM CONCEPTS AND MATHEMATICS ACROSS DISCIPLINES BY FOLLOWING A 3DL ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK. THE NSF IUSE: EDU PROGRAM SUPPORTS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STEM EDUCATION FOR ALL STUDENTS. THROUGH ITS ENGAGED STUDENT LEARNING TRACK, THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS THE CREATION, EXPLORATION, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROMISING PRACTICES AND TOOLS. 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.

COLLABORATIVE PLANNING GRANT: BUILDING CAPACITY TO SCALE THE MENTORING MATH SCHOLARS FOR SUCCESS PROGRAM -THIS PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE NATIONAL NEED FOR WELL-EDUCATED SCIENTISTS, MATHEMATICIANS, ENGINEERS, AND TECHNICIANS BY STRENGTHENING COLLABORATIONS AND PLANNING FOR A FUTURE TRACK 3 S-STEM PROPOSAL THAT WOULD SUPPORT THE RETENTION AND GRADUATION OF HIGH-ACHIEVING, LOW-INCOME STUDENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED AT THREE HISPANIC-SERVING INSTITUTIONS IN THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM: CAL STATE EAST BAY, FRESNO STATE, AND STANISLAUS STATE UNIVERSITY. THESE THREE INSTITUTIONS SERVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO, ALTHOUGH PELL GRANT ELIGIBLE, NEED TO WORK LONG HOURS TO AFFORD COLLEGE. AS A RESULT, LOW-INCOME STUDENTS GRADUATE WITH A BACHELOR?S DEGREE IN MATHEMATICS IN SIX YEARS ON AVERAGE, DESPITE HAVING THE MATHEMATICAL TALENT TO GRADUATE SOONER. THE CURRENT MENTORING MATH SCHOLARS FOR SUCCESS (M2S2) PROGRAM, FUNDED THROUGH A TRACK 2 S-STEM AWARD (1742236) AT FRESNO STATE IS SHOWING THAT STUDENTS CAN GRADUATE IN FOUR YEARS AND WITH A GPA OF 3.0+ WITH THE APPROPRIATE SUITE OF SUPPORTS, INCLUDING SCHOLARSHIPS, MENTORING, AND COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES. THIS PLANNING EFFORT AIMS TO BUILD THE CAPACITY TO IMPROVE AND SCALE THE M2S2 MODEL TO CAL STATE EAST BAY AND STANISLAUS STATE IN A WAY THAT WILL SERVE THE UNIQUE STUDENT POPULATIONS AT EACH INSTITUTION. STUDENT FOCUS GROUPS AND SURVEYS WILL BE CONDUCTED TO ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW STUDENTS AT EACH INSTITUTION CAN BEST BE SUPPORTED BY AN M2S2 PROGRAM. A PLANNING MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL THREE INSTITUTIONS WILL USE RESULTS FROM THESE SURVEYS AND THE M2S2 MODEL AT FRESNO STATE TO DEVELOP A SHARED VISION OF THE MULTI-CAMPUS M2S2 PROGRAM. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO STRENGTHEN COLLABORATIONS AND PREPARE FOR A FUTURE TRACK 3 PROPOSAL TO INCREASE STEM DEGREE COMPLETION OF LOW-INCOME, HIGH-ACHIEVING UNDERGRADUATES WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED. THE MAIN COMPONENT OF THE EVALUATION OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE TO MAKE SURE THAT A COMPETITIVE TRACK 3 S-STEM PROPOSAL IS WRITTEN AND SUBMITTED, WITH APPROPRIATE MODIFICATION TO THE M2S2 PROGRAM THAT ALIGNS WITH THE NEEDS OF EACH INSTITUTION?S POTENTIAL SCHOLARS. THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND IDENTIFY DATA STREAMS TO SUPPORT AN EFFECTIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM CENTERED ON M2S2 AS IT IS DEPLOYED ACROSS THE THREE PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS. AN IMPORTANT GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO IDENTIFY THE PRECISE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AT EACH CAMPUS AND TO GENERATE A PLAN TO ENSURE THE PARALLEL IMPLEMENTATION OF M2S2 CAN BOTH (1) HELP LOW-INCOME STUDENTS SUCCEED IN THE MATHEMATICS MAJOR, AND (2) PROVIDE GUIDELINES THAT OTHER INSTITUTIONS CAN FOLLOW TO IMPROVE SUPPORTS OFFERED FOR LOW-INCOME STUDENTS. 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.
