A Proposal to Provide Technical Assistance to Grantees and Potential Grantees in the HBCU-Up Program

少数民族优质教育网--S，为HBCU-UP受赠者和潜在受赠者提供技术援助的三年项目，旨在帮助参与者准备向国家科学基金会，特别是HBCU-UP方案提交竞争性提案。计划的活动包括：i)每年两天的专业发展和评估讲习班和一年的后续讲习班；ii)在实施的第一年对新受赠者进行技术援助访问；为期两天的提案制定和评估讲习班将召集一个顾问团队，与符合条件的机构的团队会面，并就赠款的准备情况进行介绍，特别是针对HBCU-UP项目。该机构的团队将包括首席学术官，以及该项目的一名关键人物。顾问会就各院校的建议大纲和计划活动向各院校提供意见，而向新获资助的机构提供的技术援助则包括参观校园，观察计划活动和提出建议。这次访问将在项目的第一年进行，试图就影响HBCU-UP项目的活动和做法向项目和校园领导层提供最佳建议。特别关注的能力建设研讨会将帮助潜在的受赠者了解对HBCU-UP项目和NSF教育和人力资源局至关重要的问题。在这个项目的三年时间里，QEM计划举办三个不同的研讨会：一个是关于教育研究，特别是HBCU可以向实地提供信息的方式；第二个是关于STEM教师培训计划的设计；第三个是关于将数学整合到入门水平的STEM课程和有效的STEM教学策略。QEM网络为这个项目带来了与HBCU合作的领导力和专业知识，以及对全国很大比例的潜在影响？S历史上一直是黑人学院和大学(HBCU)。

Quality Education for Minorities Network?s three-year project to provide technical assistance to HBCU-UP grantees and potential grantees aims to prepare participants to submit competitive proposals to the National Science Foundation, and in particular to the HBCU-UP program.The activities planned are: i) a two day professional development and evaluation workshop and a one year follow-up workshop each year; ii) technical assistance visits to new grantees during the first year of implementation; and iii) a special-focused, two-day workshop each year to strengthen institutional capacity in STEM.The two-day proposal development and evaluation workshop will assemble a team of consultants to meet with teams from eligible institutions and provide presentations on grant preparation, specifically geared toward the HBCU-UP project. The institution teams will include the chief academic officer, along with a key person from the project. Consultants will provide feedback to the institutions on their proposal outlines and project activities.Technical assistance to new grantees includes campus visits to observe project activities and make recommendations. This visit will occur in the first year of the project in an attempt to best advise project and campus leadership on activities and practices that affect their HBCU-UP projects.The special-focused capacity-building workshops will help to inform potential grantees about issues that are of importance to the HBCU-UP program and the NSF Directorate for Education and Human Resources. In the three years of this project, QEM plans to have three different workshops: one on education research, in particular ways in which HBCUs can inform the field; a second on design of STEM teacher preparation programs; and a third on the integration of mathematics into introductory level STEM courses and on effective STEM instructional strategies.QEM Network brings leadership and expertise in working with HBCUs to this project and the potential to impact a large percentage of the Nation?s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
