A Proposal to Conduct an Outreach Forum on Building STEM Research and Education Capacity at Hispanic-serving Institutions

少数民族优质教育（QEM）网络将进行为期两天的外展论坛和相关的后续活动，以提供信息，并从西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）收集关于拟议的NSF HSI-STEM倡议的计划组成部分和要求的投入，重点是STEM教育和研究能力建设。七十五（50个四年制/大学和25个两年制）高西班牙裔入学率（25%）的高等教育机构将被邀请派遣一个由两名成员组成的STEM教师团队参加外展论坛之后，QEM将起草，分发征求意见，修改，并向NSF人力资源开发部（HRD）提供一份关于信息，关注，论坛的目标是协助人力资源开发部门收集有关HSI-STEM倡议的基本计划组成部分和要求的具有广泛代表性的、知情的和全面的投入。该论坛将积极参与全体会议和分组会议，以：（1）确保HSIs的教师有机会告知NSF STEM教育和研究能力建设计划的发展，以满足他们的需求;（2）确定HSIs STEM本科教育和研究的关键需求。

The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network will conduct a two-day outreach forum and related follow-up activities to provide information and gather input from Hispanic-serving Institutions (HSIs) regarding program components and requirements for a proposed NSF HSI-STEM initiative focused on STEM education and research capacity building for HSIs. Seventy-five (50 four-year/university and 25 two-year) High Hispanic Enrollment (25%) higher education institutions will be invited to send a two-member STEM faculty team to the outreach forum Following the Forum, QEM will draft, distribute for comment, revise, and provide a report to NSF's Division of Human Resource Development (HRD) on information, concerns, and recommendations gathered at the Forum.The goal of the Forum is to assist HRD in gathering broadly representative, informed, and comprehensive input regarding essential program components and requirements for an HSI-STEM initiative. The Forum will actively engage teams from HSIs in plenary and breakout sessions to: (1) ensure that faculty at HSIs have an opportunity to inform the development of an NSF STEM education and research capacity-building program to address their needs; and (2) identify critical needs in STEM undergraduate education and research at HSIs.
