ABSTRACT HRD 0917335The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network is conducting an HBCU-UP Leadership Development Institute (LDI) for a cohort of 30 assistant professors in STEM disciplines at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with HBCU-UP Implementation Awards. The goals of the project are to: (1) enhance the leadership and research capabilities of STEM junior faculty from underrepresented minority groups at these institutions; and (2) build a community of emerging leaders in STEM at HBCUs.The HBCU-UP LDI consists of four sessions held over a one-year period. LDI is a faculty professional development initiative designed to foster and promote enhanced academic leadership among the participants. The sessions include: a five-day summer session in 2009; a two-day winter session in 2010; a ten-week summer research appointment at an NSF-supported research center; and a concluding five-day summer session in 2010.INTELLECTUAL MERITLDI Sessions focus on self-assessment; the characteristics of effective leadership; time management strategies; negotiating skills; scholarly productivity; proposal preparation and evaluation; and effective oral and written communication skills. Other topics emphasized include team building, the integration of research and education, mentoring, and the professional development of STEM students.Each HBCU-UP LDI member receives guidance on the preparation of an Individual Leadership Development Plan (ILDP) to assess and guide his/her leadership activities during and following the Institute. Each member also develops a STEM or STEM education research proposal and identifies potential funding sources for a project to be implemented on his/her campus for which he/she would serve as principal investigator/project director. The IDLP includes short and long-term goals andinvolves participants in an off-campus summer research activity at an NSF-supported research center. Between sessions, ongoing communication is facilitated through the project?s web-based electronic community.The project builds on QEM?s experience in conducting three-part Leadership Development Institutes for STEM faculty at grantees in the Foundation?s Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) and adds the summer research appointment as a fourth major component, based upon insight gained by QEM in the placement of STEM faculty in summer research positions at NSF-funded Science and Technology Centers (STCs). The project adds new knowledge about the effectiveness in enhancing STEM education and research at HBCUs of this approach to faculty professional development.BROADER IMPACTSThe HBCU-UP LDI enhances the skills of a cadre of underrepresented STEM faculty who are part of a community of emerging leaders at HBCUs. The HBCU-UP LDI participants share the knowledge and experience gained through the Institute with other STEM faculty at their institutions and with colleagues beyond their campuses through presentations at professional meetings, use of a dedicated website and a listserv, and the promotion of campus efforts that combine STEM education and research. Participants are in a better position to assist their institutions in securing external support for research, including campus-based undergraduate research opportunities for students. Beyond the duration of the LDI, the efforts of participants will provide a foundation for sustaining and strengthening the STEM research and education infrastructure at the HBCUS they represent.

摘要HRD 0917335少数民族优质教育(QEM)网络正在为历史悠久的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)的30名STEM学科助理教授举办HBCU-UP领导力发展研究所(LDI)，并颁发HBCU-UP实施奖。该项目的目标是：(1)提高STEM初级教员的领导力和研究能力，这些教师来自这些机构中代表性不足的少数群体；以及(2)在HBCU-UP LDI中建立一个STEM新兴领导者社区。HBCU-UP LDI包括四个为期一年的会议。LDI是一项教师专业发展计划，旨在培养和促进参与者增强学术领导力。课程包括：2009年为期五天的夏季课程；2010年为期两天的冬季课程；在国家科学基金会资助的研究中心进行为期十周的夏季研究预约；以及2010年结束的为期五天的夏季课程。TELLECTUAL MERITLDI课程侧重于自我评估；有效领导的特征；时间管理战略；谈判技能；学术效率；提案准备和评估；以及有效的口头和书面沟通技能。其他强调的主题包括团队建设、研究和教育的整合、指导以及STEM学生的专业发展。每个HBCU-UP LDI成员都会收到关于制定个人领导力发展计划(ILDP)的指导，以评估和指导他/她在学院期间和之后的领导活动。每个成员还制定一项STEM或STEM教育研究提案，并为将在其校园内实施的项目确定潜在的资金来源，他/她将担任该项目的首席调查员/项目主任。IDLP包括短期和长期目标，并让参与者参加在NSF支持的研究中心举行的校外夏季研究活动。在会议间隙，通过S网络电子社区项目促进了持续的沟通。该项目基于QEM？S在基金会受赠者S部落学院和大学计划(TCUP)为STEM教师举办三部分领导力发展学院的经验，并根据QEM在安排STEM教师在国家科学基金资助的科学和技术中心(STC)夏季研究职位方面的洞察力，增加了暑期研究预约作为第四个主要组成部分。该项目增加了关于这种方法在HBCU加强STEM教育和研究的有效性的新知识。BROADER IMPACTSTHHBCU-UP LDI提高了HBCU中代表不足的STEM教师队伍的技能，他们是HBCU新兴领导者社区的一部分。HBCU-UP LDI的参与者通过在专业会议上发表演讲、使用专用网站和名单服务器以及促进结合STEM教育和研究的校园努力，与其所在机构的其他STEM教职员工以及校园以外的同事分享通过该研究所获得的知识和经验。参与者能够更好地帮助他们的机构获得研究的外部支持，包括为学生提供基于校园的本科生研究机会。在最不发达国家倡议期间之外，参与者的努力将为维持和加强其所代表的HBCU的STEM研究和教育基础设施奠定基础。
