Enhancing the Quality of NSF Proposals from Accredited Engineering Programs of Minority Serving Colleges and Universities

这个项目正在为少数民族服务机构的教员开发和提供两个讲习班。研讨会的目标是提高参与者的提案写作技巧，并使他们能够探索各自机构之间的合作。在第一个讲习班中，与会者参加了以指导调查为基础的活动，旨在帮助他们拟订有竞争力的建议。第二次研讨会将2006年提案写作研讨会的与会者聚集在一起，使他们能够进一步探索和调整他们的提案概念。来自历史悠久的黑人学院和大学、西班牙裔服务机构、美洲原住民服务机构和部落学院和大学的教师将参与其中。这些研讨会加强了NSF的努力，以建立一支更具包容性，知识渊博，全球参与的劳动力队伍，充分反映了国家多样化人口的力量。

This project is developing and offering two workshops to faculty members from minority serving institutions. The goals of the workshop are to enhance the proposal writing skills of the participants and to enable them to explore collaborations between their institutions. In the first workshop, attendees are participating in guided inquiry-based activities designed to assist them in developing competitive proposals. The second workshop is bringing attendees from a 2006 proposal writing workshop back together, enabling them to further explore and fine-tune their proposal concepts. Faculty from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Native American Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities are participating. These workshops enhance NSF's efforts to build a more inclusive, knowledgeable, and globally engaged workforce that fully reflects the strength of the Nation's diverse population.
