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联论坛和相关后续活动，以提供信息并收集西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)关于拟议的NSF HSI-STEM倡议的项目组成部分和要求的意见，该倡议的重点是HSI的STEM教育和研究能力建设。75所(50所四年制/大学制和25所两年制)拉美裔高入学率(25%)高等教育机构将被邀请派遣一个两人STEM教员团队参加论坛。论坛结束后，QEM将起草、分发、修改并向NSF人力资源发展部门(HRD)提供一份关于论坛上收集的信息、关切和建议的报告。论坛的目标是帮助HSI-STEM计划的基本项目组成部分和要求收集具有广泛代表性、知情和全面的意见。论坛将在全体会议和分组会议上积极邀请来自HSI的团队：(1)确保HSIS的教职员工有机会向NSF STEM教育和研究能力建设计划的发展提供信息，以满足他们的需求；以及(2)确定HSIS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.
