The National Science Foundation (NSF), a federal agency, gave $387,605 to the University of Minnesota, $313,026 to Colorado State University, and $205,063 to Florida International University to take part in a project that would supposedly aid in changing undergraduate biology courses to be more welcoming to students identifying as transgender, according to The Christian Post.
The beginning date for the project was listed as September 2022 and the estimated end of the endeavor will be in August 2025, wrote The Christian Post.
The NSF research, which is titled “Collaborative Research: A qualitative inquiry into sex/gender narratives in undergraduate biology and their impacts on transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming students,” seeks to address what it sees as the problematic “binary” view of sex and gender in biology classes, as seen in the abstract for the project.
