This proposal, from the Quality Education for Minorities Network, is designed to support a working conference whose agenda is the conceptualization of a national strategy to improve the education, especially the mathematics and science education, of children and youth living in low-income residential communities (LRCs). Attendees, approximately 60 working participants and 25 observers, will include representatives of HBCUs and predominately minority institutions, school districts, professional organizations and human service agencies. The conference is planned for 8/28- 30, 1992. A national organization, the Housing Development Network, will be established as an outcome of the conference and will be hosted by QEM. Its major purpose will be to promote linkages between universities, housing developments LRCs, community- based organizations, health and social service agencies, and local housing authorities. Attendees at a small follow-up conference will write the Conference Proceedings. This project is an extremely cost-effective yet substantive way of addressing one of the Nation's largest problems and shows potential for reaching out to a large number of institutions, youth and teachers. The influence it might exert is increased by its probable joint sponsorship of a number of federal agencies. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 23% of the amount requested from NSF.

这项由少数群体优质教育网络提出的建议旨在支持一次工作会议，该会议的议程是概念化一项国家战略，以改善居住在低收入居民区的儿童和青年的教育，特别是数学和科学教育。与会者约有60名在职参与者和25名观察员，将包括HBCU的代表以及主要是少数族裔机构、学区、专业组织和公共服务机构的代表。会议计划于1992年8月28日至30日举行。作为会议的一项成果，将建立一个国家组织--住房发展网络，并将由QEM主办。其主要目的将是促进大学、住房开发地方社区委员会、社区组织、卫生和社会服务机构以及地方住房当局之间的联系。小型后续会议的与会者将撰写会议纪要。该项目是解决该国最大问题之一的一种极具成本效益的实质性方式，并显示出接触大量机构、青年和教师的潜力。它可能施加的影响因其可能由多个联邦机构联合赞助而增加。非NSF费用分摊约为NSF要求的金额的23%。
