This project focuses on a working conference to coordinate the efforts of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other predominantly minority institutions in developing a national agenda to carry out major reforms that will improve mathematics, science and engineering education for minorities. This effort will also eliminate the duplicative or fragmented efforts by the representative underrepresented groups who will be attending this conference. One measurable outcome of the conference will be the establishment of a comprehensive interactive network that will implement the action plan that results from the meeting. Another important outcome will be the sharing of information and resources among the participating institutions as well as strengthening their linkages with industry, governmental units, and professional societies. The principal investigator has devoted much of her professional life to science and engineering issues for minorities, including leadership roles on several NSF advisory groups, and is therefore highly qualified to lead this important effort.

该项目的重点是召开一次工作会议，协调传统黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 和其他以少数族裔为主的机构的努力，制定国家议程，以实施重大改革，改善少数族裔的数学、科学和工程教育。 这项努力还将消除参加本次会议的代表性不足群体的重复或分散的努力。 会议的一项可衡量成果将是建立一个全面的互动网络，以实施会议产生的行动计划。 另一个重要成果将是参与机构之间共享信息和资源，并加强它们与行业、政府单位和专业协会的联系。 首席研究员将其职业生涯的大部分时间奉献给了少数族裔的科学和工程问题，包括在几个 NSF 咨询小组中担任领导职务，因此非常有资格领导这项重要的工作。
