An IUP English Professor received a grant to study how the Coronavirus pandemic is affecting undergraduate research.
Dr. David I. Hanauer has received $20,952 from the National Science Foundation for this study. In a news release, Hanauer said that the study will help the teachers at IUP along with the larger scientific community to get a handle on what the pandemic means for undergraduate research experiences across the nation. Hanauer will collaborate with Dr. Mark Graham of Yale University as a part of this study.
Hanauer received a $1 million grant last fall from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute for the continuing development of measurement tools and educational models for course-based research experiences in the sciences. The new grant will build on that research by studying the changes made by STEM faculty teaching research labs and the effects of the changes on students as a result of the pandemic and the social distancing connected with it.
