The Department of Physics at Southern University Baton Rouge (SUBR) proposes to carry out a comprehensive research and enrichment project for underrepresented and eligible minority physics undergraduates. Referred to as the Timbuktu Academy, this project is named after the University of Timbuktu, a bastion of scholarship in the middle of this millennium. The Timbuktu Academy will enroll and support twenty (20) physics graduates, seventy per cent of whom are expected to earn Ph.D. degrees in physics and related fields. Research participation, enrichment activities, and a stimulating academic advisement are central activities of the Academy. The proposed activities are guided by basic tents of cognitive science, the taxonomies of the cognitive and affective domains, and recommendations from several national reports. About ten percent (10%) of African American scholars who earned Ph.D. degree in physics, in the last five years, are alumni of the SUBR Physics Department. Recent enhancements of the Department's resources are added predictors of the expected success of the Academy. Existing and future linkages and partnerships with federal, industrial, and academic laboratories are essential factors in support of the operation and expansion of this Academy for the development of research careers for minority Scholars (RCMS).

南方大学巴吞鲁日大学物理系提议为未被充分代表和符合条件的少数民族物理学本科生开展一项全面的研究和丰富项目。该项目被称为廷巴克图学院，以廷巴克图大学的名字命名，廷巴克图大学是本世纪中期的学术堡垒。廷巴克图学院将招收并资助二十(20)名物理学毕业生，其中70%有望获得物理学及相关领域的博士学位。研究参与、丰富活动和富有启发性的学术建议是学院的中心活动。拟议的活动以认知科学的基本内容、认知和情感领域的分类以及几份国家报告中的建议为指导。在过去五年中，获得物理学博士学位的非裔美国学者中，约有10%(10%)是SUBR物理系的校友。最近该部资源的增加增加了学院预期成功的预测因素。现有和未来与联邦、工业和学术实验室的联系和伙伴关系是支持该学院的运作和扩展以发展少数民族学者研究事业(RCMS)的重要因素。
