# overview
Dr. Paul R. Hernandez's research focuses on the contextual factors, developmental relationships, and motivational processes that support and broaden participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers - particularly for students from groups historically underrepresented in STEM.  Dr. Hernandez has received external research funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
