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）网络将举办为期两天的外展论坛和相关的后续活动，为拟议的NSF HSI-STEM计划的项目组成部分和要求提供信息，并收集来自西班牙裔服务机构（hsi）的投入，重点关注hsi的STEM教育和研究能力建设。将邀请75所（50所四年制/大学和25所两年制）高西班牙裔入学率（25%）的高等教育机构派遣一个由两名成员组成的STEM教师团队参加外展论坛。论坛结束后，QEM将起草、分发、修订并向国家科学基金会人力资源开发部（HRD）提供一份关于论坛上收集的信息、问题和建议的报告。论坛的目标是协助HRD收集广泛的代表性，知情的，全面的关于HSI-STEM倡议的基本项目组成部分和要求的投入。论坛将积极邀请来自hsi的团队参加全体会议和分组会议，以：(1)确保hsi的教师有机会了解NSF STEM教育和研究能力建设计划的发展情况，以满足他们的需求；(2)确定hsi在STEM本科教育和研究方面的关键需求。

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.
