Congratulations to our CSR Director, Professor Jenny O, for receiving the Department of Education's Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement (McNair) Program grant.
CSUEB faculty Jenny O (CSR Center Director and Professor of Kinesiology) was awarded the 2022 McNair grant. CSUEB's McNair program is called Belong Engage Thrive – McNair, or BET and the Performance period is 10/01/2022 - 09/30/2027. This 5-year grant will come with per-year funding of $259,486 to prepare historically undersupported undergraduates for doctoral study.
BET will recruit 25 undergraduates, at least two-thirds of whom are low-income and first-generation, plus one-third from groups underrepresented in graduate education. Some notable scholarly activities in BET will be earning professional development badges related to self-determination and long-term success, shadowing a research team, research skills training, summer seminar and workshop series during the summer internship, and a summer retreat for all scholars. Scholars will begin working in a research lab in their junior year, continuing with the research team through their summer internship and senior year. BET will produce graduates who have the self-determination, academic and research skills to earn doctorates and help fill the need to diversify academia and research-intensive professions.
Congratulations to all the CSUEB's BET team members: Jenny O, Vanessa Yingling, Eric Helgren, and Michele Hobbs Helmus
Dr. Ram Kandasamy will serve as the Center for Student Research (CSR) Faculty Fellow. Dr. Shubha Kashinath will serve as the Research Development (ORSP) Faculty Fellow.

CSUEB now has a policy that permits compensation in the form of an incentive for participants in human subjects research. Research participant incentives may be paid to current CSUEB students and people that are non-CSUEB students or employees. CSUEB employees may not be paid a research participant incentive. Student incentives are paid in the form of a credit of a student's University Student Account. Incentives for people that are not CSUEB students and employees may be paid in the form of a gift card. More information about human subjects research participant incentives can be found on the ORSP Policies Website.
