Shaw University's HBCU-UP project, Academic Excellence through Research and Mentoring, is aimed at enhancing the quality of STEM majors for admission to graduate schools, increase the flow of minority students from high schools and community colleges into STEM programs at Shaw University, build technology infrastructure including a testing/tutorial center and provide faculty development activities to increase grant capability and undergraduate research involvement.Shaw University has outlined an aggressive recruitment plan which includes family support activities, mentoring, tracking, and providing enrichment to the academic program such as internships, field trips, and conference attendance.The academic component of the project will focus on strengthening the technology infrastructure and the traditional gatekeeper courses in mathematics and physics. Funds will be used to equip a testing and tutorial center, as well as classrooms, and enhancing the living environment to support STEM student living-learning communities. The technology enhancement will be closely linked to the curriculum initiatives.The classroom instruction will be enhanced with the use of the computerized learning system developed at Clark Atlanta University. This delivery system includes multimedia lecture notes, and online testing and management. Other curriculum enhancements will include discovery approach for general chemistry courses, as well as innovative physics experiments.Faculty development activities in this implementation project will focus on strengthening faculty ability to obtain and manage grant funds, as well as increase faculty involvement in undergraduate research activities.

逸夫大学的HBCU-UP项目，即通过研究和指导实现学术卓越，旨在提高STEM专业研究生入学的质量，增加高中和社区大学少数民族学生进入逸夫大学STEM项目的流量，建立包括测试/辅导中心在内的技术基础设施，并提供教师发展活动，以提高拨款能力和本科生的研究参与度。邵逸夫大学制定了一项积极的招聘计划，其中包括家庭支持活动、指导、跟踪，并为学术项目提供丰富的内容，如实习、实地考察和参加会议。该项目的学术部分将侧重于加强技术基础设施和数学和物理方面的传统守门人课程。这笔资金将用于装备一个测试和辅导中心，以及教室，并改善生活环境，以支持STEM学生的生活学习社区。技术改进将与课程改革紧密相连。课堂教学将使用克拉克亚特兰大大学开发的计算机化学习系统来加强。该系统包括多媒体课堂讲稿、在线测试和管理。其他课程的改进将包括普通化学课程的发现方法，以及创新的物理实验。本实施计划的师资发展活动将集中于加强师资获得和管理拨款的能力，以及增加师资参与本科生研究活动。
