Welcome to the project's webpage entitled “Strengthening Teaching and Advancing Research Partnerships: Reinforcing the STEM Workforce" (STARp). The STARp project is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). This project uses a comprehensive approach to increase retention and graduation rates of high-need STEM students by improving the teaching and learning process and developing multisectoral partnerships. The project analyzes factors that improve STEM undergraduate education and help Hispanic students of Puerto Rico succeed in STEM. The strategies employed by the STARp project are aimed to broaden minority representation in the STEM fields. 

This webpage describes the areas of the STARp project related to teaching and learning, undergraduate research, and citizen science investigations.
