When a grant award isreceived, two-year college faculty are invariably faced with working grant-funded activities intotheir already heavily-scheduled work weeks.

transfer students shows that different groups of transfer students need different kindsof assistance in order to succeed at their new college or university ([10] and references therein).Factors affecting transfer student success include: • Emotional factors (feeling of isolation, transfer shock, lack of sense of belonging), • Financial factors (cost), • Educational planning factors (credits earned, time to completion, clarity on credit transfer), • Academic factors (GPA, academic preparedness, required remedial courses), • Institutional factors (size of school, distance of school).Research on the STEM transfer pathway involves two sides of efforts: On the side of communitycolleges, they mainly focus on factors that can

plans are as described above;however, what is typically presented to the students at each institution are web pages that containhelpful degree plans for the degrees being pursued. That is, students are generally only vaguelyaware that many different curricula exist for a degree program, and they are likely even less awareof the underlying degree requirements associated with the degree program. The key point is thatwithin each institution, degree plans have been carefully constructed so that if students followthem, they will earn their degrees.

The recent National Student Clearinghouse Research Center (NSCRC) 2020-21 Report (Bobbitt, R. et al., Aug 2021) indicated that higher education lost about 191,500 transferstudents in 2020-21, three times higher that 2019-20. Interestingly, HSI universities also reporteda substantial loss in the number of transfer students,(-11.8%).III.2: Florida Trends in Enrollment and GraduationThe Florida College Access Network (FCAN), June 2020, report noted that 42% of the currentlyenrolled college students said that their plans changed including taking a semester or a year off.Other data (FCAN, April 2018) indicate that the three-year AA-degree completion rate of

programs. At the start of the ATE Program, a preliminary proposal review option wasoffered to all prospective grantees. A prospective grantee had the option to submit a draftproposal to NSF for review by a panel of peers. This preliminary review process mirrored thepeer review process that NSF routinely uses to evaluate proposal submissions. Feedback fromthe preliminary review was provided to the prospective grantee several months prior to theproposal submission deadline, so that project plans could be strengthened and errors eliminatedto help the prospective grantee craft a more competitive final proposal. However, in about 2010,NSF discontinued the preliminary review option. One result of this change was that over time, alimited number of

strategies can be categorized into threeoverarching themes: planning, facilitation, and explanation. Planning strategies are those that aninstructor uses when developing an activity and can include getting or incorporating studentfeedback into their activities. Facilitation strategies are those that an instructor uses during theactive learning activities to help better engage the students in the activity, such as walkingaround the room and answering questions. Explanation strategies focus on how an instructor canintroduce or give context to an active learning activity such as an instructor relating the activityback to the lecture or describing why they are doing the activity in the first place.
