GRCC ExLENT/ FutureTech Careers

  • Funder/Program: NSF ExLENT
  • Dates: 2024-2027
  • Project Description: The FutureTech Careers ExLENT project at Grand Rapids Community College connects students with hands-on learning in IT and advanced manufacturing. Through a partnership between the Schools of Workforce Development and STEM, the project expands access to emerging tech careers for diverse learners, aiming to build a skilled talent pipeline for in-demand regional industries.
  • Evaluation and Research Description: The evaluation examines how well ExLENT is implemented and its impact on student success. Using a mix of surveys, focus groups, academic data, and more, we provide real-time feedback for improvement and assess overall outcomes.

Computer Science for All

  • Funder/Program: NSF 
  • Dates: 2024-2027
  • Project Description: This statewide initiative supports the integration of computer science and data science into Algebra 2 classrooms through the Bootstrap:Data Science curriculum. By training 150 Michigan teachers, the project aims to make math more engaging and relevant for students, while aligning with state standards. With a focus on real-world datasets, the curriculum helps students connect algebraic thinking to the world around them while also broadening access to computing and better preparing students for college and careers.
  • Evaluation and Research Description: Everett Evaluation leads a mixed-methods evaluation, designed to support continuous improvement and measure impact. Our activities include interviews and focus groups with district leaders, surveys and reflections from teachers, and data reviews to assess implementation and outcomes. We also monitor the strength of project partnerships and compare progress against a defined logic model.

CISTAR (Center for Innovative and Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources)

  • Funder/Program: NSF Engineering Research Center (ERC)
  • Dates: 2018-2028
  • Project Description: CISTAR is a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center focused on transforming natural gas into cleaner fuels and chemicals. As part of its mission, CISTAR invests in developing a well-trained engineering workforce through innovative educational programs for teachers, undergraduates, and high school students, as well as hands-on research experiences that prepare graduate students to lead in the energy sector.
  • Evaluation and Research Description: CISTAR programming takes place across the US with partner institutions, University of Notre Dame, Northwestern University, University of Texas-Austin, and University of New Mexico. Everett Evaluation staff work with liaisons from all partner universities to facilitate evaluation of summer programming events and the graduate student experience.

CASFER (Center for Advancing Sustainable and Distributed Fertilizer Production)

    • Funder/Program: NSF Engineering Research Center (ERC)
    • Dates: 2024-2026
    • Project Description: CASFER, a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, is building a more sustainable future by developing technologies to recycle nitrogen from waste into fertilizer. With a strong focus on research, education and workforce development, CASFER prepares students to lead in the growing nitrogen circular economy through interdisciplinary research, hands-on training, and collaboration across engineering, science, and policy.
