Launching the GIS Research Innovative Teaching and Service (GRITS) Center at the North Carolina Central UniversityThis award is being used to establish the new GIS Research, Innovative Teaching, and Service (GRITS) Center in the Geography and Earth Sciences Department at North Carolina Central University (NCCU), an HBCU. The center is serving as a focal point for new research projects, faculty development, student recruitment, and curriculum development in geographic information systems (GIS) and other geospatial technologies such as remote sensing and global positioning system (GPS). Inquiry-based, hands-on instruction and opportunities for students to participate in data collection and original geospatial research is being offered through this center as part of an effort to attract and retain talented undergraduate students in mathematics, science, technology, and engineering at NCCU. Other activities of the GRITS Center include faculty development workshops, seed grants to faculty wanting to integrate GIS modules into their courses and research, support for student research using geospatial strategies, and efforts to encourage university-wide interdisciplinary integration of GIS into the undergraduate curriculum. The GRITS center is also offering outstanding undergraduate and graduate students competitive scholarships and internships. A GIS certification program at NCCU will be established as a result of this award and co-funding from the HBCU-UP Targeted Infusion Program.

在北卡罗来纳州中央大学启动GIS研究创新教学和服务（GRITS）中心该奖项将用于在北卡罗来纳州中央大学（NCCU）地理和地球科学系建立新的GIS研究，创新教学和服务（GRITS）中心，HBCU。该中心是新的研究项目，教师发展，学生招聘和课程开发在地理信息系统（GIS）和其他地理空间技术，如遥感和全球定位系统（GPS）的焦点。基于调查的，动手指导和机会，让学生参与数据收集和原始地理空间研究正在通过这个中心提供的努力，以吸引和留住有才华的本科生在数学，科学，技术和工程在NCCU的一部分。 GRITS中心的其他活动包括教师发展研讨会，种子赠款教师希望将GIS模块集成到他们的课程和研究，支持学生研究使用地理空间战略，并努力鼓励GIS到本科课程的大学范围内的跨学科整合。GRITS中心还为优秀的本科生和研究生提供竞争性奖学金和实习机会。 由于该奖项和HBCU-UP有针对性的输液计划的共同资助，NCCU将建立一个GIS认证计划。
