ABSTRACTThe Model Institutions for Excellence (MIE) program was conceived in 1992 at the instigation of NSF Director Walter Massey. At the time, several federal agencies expressed interest in being partners, but only NASA eventually chose to participate in MIE. An across-directorate task force designed the program. The solicitation described the goals of MIE as follows:Provide an opportunity to define methods for improving minority institutions in SEM education and undergraduate research; Target a small number of minority institutions poised to make a substantial contribution to the goal of increasing the number of minorities who earn SEM baccalaureate degrees and then enroll in graduate SEM programs or enter SEM careers; produce minority institutions that will serve as models for the successful recruitment, education and production of quality-trained SEM baccalaureate degree recipients; and,Allow the Foundation to more effectively exercise its statutory authority "to undertake or support a comprehensive science and engineering program to increase the participation of minorities in science and engineering " The program was organized into three phases: Phase I: Develop the Models (5 years); Phase II: Implement the Models (3 years); Phase III: Institutionalization and Dissemination of Models (3 years). The Dissemination phase began during FY04; each NSF funded site has received its remaining and final three-year dissemination phase grant commitments, and some have begun to disseminate data and best practices. However, this overall process was seen to be uneven at best, and elemental and disjointed at worst. New (February 2004) Program Director David Temple determined that a comprehensive and jointly coordinated MIE dissemination effort was needed, one that would affirm and reveal the worth and value of the findings and products of this decade-long demonstration initiative, as well as its challenges, and inferences for the future.The Alliance for Equity in Higher Education (AEHE or the Alliance)-a District of Columbia based coalition comprised of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC), the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), and the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO)-has submitted an unsolicited proposal to the National Science Foundation (in concurrence and coordination with, and on behalf of, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) for the dissemination of models under the Model Institutions of Excellence (MIE) program. The proposal has been submitted by AEHE's parent organization, the Institute for Higher Education Policy.

摘要卓越示范机构（MIE）计划于1992年在美国哈佛大学提出， 国家科学基金会主任沃尔特·梅西的煽动。当时，几个联邦机构表示有兴趣成为合作伙伴，但只有NASA最终选择参与MIE。一个跨部门的工作组设计了这个项目。该招标描述了MIE的目标如下：提供一个机会，以确定在SEM教育和本科研究中改善少数民族机构的方法;目标是少数少数民族机构准备为增加获得SEM学士学位的少数民族数量的目标做出实质性贡献，然后报名参加研究生SEM课程或进入SEM职业生涯;建立少数民族机构，作为成功招聘、教育和培养受过优质培训的SEM学士学位获得者的典范;并且，在本发明中，允许基金会更有效地行使其法定权力，“承担或支持一项综合性的科学和工程计划，以增加少数民族对科学和工程的参与”该方案分为三个阶段：第一阶段：发展模式（5年）;第二阶段：实施模式（3年）;第三阶段：模式的制度化和传播（3年）。传播阶段始于2004财政年度;每个国家科学基金会资助的网站都收到了其剩余的和最后三年的传播阶段赠款承诺，有些已经开始传播数据和最佳做法。然而，人们认为，这一整体过程往好了说是不平衡的，往坏了说是基本的和脱节的。新（2004年2月）项目主任大卫坦普尔决定，需要一个全面的和联合协调的MIE传播工作，一个将肯定和揭示的价值和价值的结果和产品的这十年之久的示范倡议，以及它的挑战，高等教育公平联盟（Alliance for Equity in Higher Education）（AEHE或联盟）-一个哥伦比亚特区的联盟，由美国印第安人高等教育联盟（AIHEC），西班牙裔学院和大学协会（HACU），和全国高等教育机会均等协会（NAFEO）-已经向国家科学基金会提交了一份未经请求的提案（与联合国人权事务高级专员办事处协调并代表联合国人权事务高级专员办事处，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）在示范机构（MIE）计划下传播模型。该提案由AEHE的上级组织高等教育政策研究所提交。
