Muhammad to serve as researcher on $349k NSF grant
E. Anthony Muhammad, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Curriculum, Foundations and Reading, will serve as the senior research associate on a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant recently awarded to Bowie State University in Maryland.
The project at Bowie State seeks to examine P-12 social-emotional learning (SEL) education policy and its potential impact on equity in STEM education. Muhammad and the team of researchers plan to conduct policy analyses and qualitative interviews culminating in recommendations to inform state-level policy focused on ensuring equity and excellence in STEM education and SEL for Black students. Moreover, the recommendations will offer ways to implement policies that promote equity in STEM.
Muhammad and the grant researchers will specifically research to what extent the states implement education policy that supports Black student SEL and drive district-level implementation toward equitable STEM education.
The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) was established in 2000 by NSF to assist HBCUs in their effect to strengthen STEM education and research capacity as a means to broaden the nation’s STEM workforce. This grant is being funded as a part of the HBCU-UP Broadening Participation Research program.
