Target Audience:The primary audience for our outreach efforts was Hispanic and underrepresented students in grades 9-12. To engage them, we reached out to superintendents, principals, teachers, science club leaders, and career advisors at 15 high schools across the Greater Houston area via email and phone. We shared the goals of the USDA-Hispanic Serving Institution Pathway to University Program (HSI-PUP) and encouraged their support in promoting student participation in a two-day summer camp and a four-week research experience. In addition, we visited Houston ISD to present the USDA-HSI initiative to high school teachers. We also invited 100 students from Aristoi Classical Academy to tour the UH Sugar Land campus and learn about its technology programs. Furthermore, UH Biotechnology faculty served as judges at the 2025 Science and Engineering Fair of Houston, where they promoted the program to students representing 50 high schools Out of 151 high school students who applied to the program, 103 were invited to attend the two-day summer camp held in June 2025. Of those invited, 68 students participated in the camp. Camp participants were then encouraged to apply for the four-week research experience. Thirty-seven students submitted applications, which included essays about their future ambitions, and 11 students were selected based on their responses. In total, more than 1,000 high school students and their parents visited the USDA-HSI-PUP program website (https://uh.edu/tech/usda-pup/) to learn about the various opportunities offered. Changes/Problems:We were able to award a $4,000 scholarship to only one hispanic student this year, as we faced challenges in identifying candidates who met the program requirements. In the upcoming year, we plan to recruit two qualified hispanic students starting in Fall 2025, each of whom will receive an $9,000 scholarship to support their academic and research training. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?The project has provided several meaningful opportunities for training and professional development, particularly aimed at high school and undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds. Career information in food, nutrition, and agriculture has been developed and published on the USDA-HSI-PUP website to guide students in exploring academic and professional pathways. Throughout the program, students were exposed to a wide range of career opportunities through expert-led sessions, campus visits, and hands-on research experiences. They learned about roles in industry, academia, and government institutions, gaining insight into real-world applications of biotechnology, nutrition science, and agricultural research. These activities not only enhanced students' technical skills but also broadened their understanding of future career possibilities, empowering them to make informed decisions about their educational and professional trajectories. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The results of the program were actively disseminated to communities of interest through direct engagement with parents, school representatives, and educators. Parents were invited to attend the final two-hour session of the two-day summer camp, where they observed student presentations and learned about the hands-on research activities their children participated in. Similarly, on the final day of the four-week research experience, parents, faculty, and mentors attended student-led presentations highlighting the research skills and knowledge gained. In addition, electronic brochures detailing the USDA-HSI-PUP program and its outcomes were distributed to science teachers across most Independent School Districts (ISDs) in the Greater Houston area. These efforts helped foster community involvement, increase awareness of STEM opportunities, and demonstrate the program's positive impact on student development. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?During the next reporting period, we plan to expand our outreach and training efforts to further advance the goals of the USDA-HSI-PUP program. Specifically, we will organize a one-day summer camp for approximately 100 high school students to introduce them to career pathways in food, nutrition, and agricultural sciences. In addition, a separate summer camp will be held for community college students, providing them with hands-on exposure to these fields and opportunities to engage with faculty and industry professionals. We will also continue to offer a four-week research experience for 15 high school and community college students, allowing them to work in university labs under the guidance of faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers. These activities aim to strengthen the pipeline of underrepresented students entering food, agriculture, and STEM-related careers. We plan to publish our research finding on high school students engagement in STEM research field.
