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络？该项目为期三年，旨在为HBCU-UP项目的受助者和潜在受助者提供技术援助，旨在帮助参与者为美国国家科学基金会，特别是HBCU-UP项目提交有竞争力的提案做好准备。计划的活动是：i)每年举办为期两天的专业发展与评价讲习班和为期一年的后续讲习班；（Ii）在实施的第一年对新受赠方进行技术援助访问；以及每年举办为期两天的专题研讨会，以加强STEM方面的机构能力。为期两天的提案制定和评估研讨会将召集一个顾问团队，与符合条件的机构的团队会面，并就专门针对HBCU-UP项目的拨款准备工作进行介绍。机构团队将包括首席学术官，以及项目的一位关键人物。顾问将向各院校提供建议大纲和项目活动的反馈意见。向新受助人提供的技术援助包括参观校园，观察项目活动并提出建议。这次访问将在项目的第一年进行，目的是就影响HBCU-UP项目的活动和实践向项目和校园领导提供最好的建议。以能力建设为重点的讲习班将有助于向潜在的受资助者通报对HBCU-UP项目和国家科学基金会教育和人力资源理事会具有重要意义的问题。在这个项目的三年里，QEM计划举办三个不同的研讨会：一个关于教育研究，特别是hbcu如何为该领域提供信息；第二篇是STEM教师培训项目的设计；第三是将数学融入STEM入门级课程，以及有效的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，并有可能影响全国很大一部分人？历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）。

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).
