The grant will fund the purchase of technology and equipment that will establish the biopharmaceutical capabilities at the university. It will also cover the cost of faculty professional development and the design of curriculum based on current industry workforce needs.

California State University, San Bernardino received a three-year, $1 million grant from the California Office of Planning and Research to increase diversity in chemistry. With over 100,000 students taking chemistry courses in California annually, the study is designed to directly improve outcomes for women and other underrepresented student populations pursuing STEM education by using culturally-responsive, technology-enabled learning to address factors known to disproportionately impact historically marginalized groups in STEM.
