The primary purpose of the Evaluative Research and Capacity Building (ERCB) Delta project is to develop an interest and capacity for evaluative studies of critical STEM educational issues and problems among STEM faculty at five of the regional and historically black Mississippi Delta higher education institutions. Although these colleges and universities graduate most of the teachers and administrators working in Delta schools, with the exception of those trained in Phase I of this project, the faculties have not previously been involved in comprehensive evaluation of STEM educational policies and practices. The principal objective of this proposal (Phase II of the project) is to continue the work begun under the original project as a model to enhance the evaluation capacity of a selected group of faculty members, and the infrastructure ofinstitutions that serve the Mississippi Delta region. This entails developing faculty skills and institutional expertise in order to build sustained capacity to conduct evaluation and evaluation research on STEM and STEM-related issues.

评估研究和能力建设(ERCB)Delta项目的主要目的是在密西西比河三角洲五所地区和历史上黑人高等教育机构的STEM教员中培养对关键STEM教育问题和问题的评估研究的兴趣和能力。虽然这些学院和大学毕业于三角洲学校的大多数教师和管理人员，但该项目第一阶段培训的教师除外，但这些学院以前从未参与过对STEM教育政策和做法的全面评估。这项建议(项目的第二阶段)的主要目标是继续在原项目下开始的工作，作为一个样板，以加强选定的一批教职员工的评估能力，并加强为密西西比三角洲地区服务的机构的基础设施。这需要培养教师的技能和机构专门知识，以便建立持续的能力，对科学、技术和经济管理以及与科学、技术和经济研究有关的问题进行评价和评价研究。
