Leonard Lopoo, Paul Volcker Chair in Behavioral Economics and professor of public administration and international affairs, is among the co-investigators on a $240,000 National Science Foundation grant supporting peer-to-peer academic coaching.

The grant was awarded to the University’s Center for Learning and Student Success to expand a coaching program that acquaints students with effective learning strategies and helps them adopt those tactics in their STEM and other classes.

The grant for “Coaching to Learn: A Peer-to-Peer Intervention to Help College Students Apply and Transfer Effective Learning Strategies Across STEM Courses” builds on the center’s pilot work of the past three years and adds an expanded research component to measure outcomes.
