Opportunity Number:
24-551
Description:
Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) are an important component of the nation’s higher education ecosystem and play a critical role in realizing the National Science Board’s vision for a more diverse and capable science and engineering workforce1,2.Aligned with this vision and the NSF Strategic Plan3, the goals of the NSF HSI Program are to:
Enhance the quality of undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at HSIs.
Increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of students pursuing associate’s or baccalaureate degrees in STEM at HSIs.
Meeting these goals requires institutions to understand and embrace their students’ strengths, challenges, and lived experiences. While this can happen in many ways and across many parts of an institution, the Hispanic Serving Institutions: Enriching Learning, Programs, and Student Experiences (HSI:ELPSE) solicitation is specifically focused on studying and improving the student experience in the following settings:
STEM courses, particularly for students pursuing STEM degrees;
Certificate, minor, and/or degree programs;
Academic departments or divisions; and
Schools and colleges that represent a part of the entire institution (e.g., a School of Engineering or a College of Natural Sciences).
