Learning more about the Eureka! Grant

Faculty affiliates of the Institute of Diversity Sciences at UMass Amherst were awarded a $299,271 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to examine the Eureka! partnership – an innovative 5-year program that addresses the gender gap in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The research project, entitled “Examining collective impact in a Community-University Partnership to Broaden Girls’ Participation in Science from Middle School to High School Graduation,” will deploy mixed-method research and have wide-ranging impact – informing researchers, educators, families and industry about how best to broaden participation in STEM education and the STEM workforce.
