The Targeted Infusion project - Developing a new Information TechnologyCurriculum at Virginia State University - seeks to develop a new Information Technology (IT) curriculum within the Computer Science program at Virginia State University (VSU). The project is aimed at attracting more African American young men and women to pursue careers in information technology and become highly skilled IT professionals. The main goals of the project are: to establish a new IT curriculum within the CS program at VSU; to provide support to students who would like to pursue an IT related STEM field; to improve recruitment and retention in the IT related STEM fields at VSU; to provide support to faculty members at an HBCU to develop new research and education projects for career development and leadership in STEM related fields; to enhance teaching and research capacity in the IT area at VSU, and to attract more African American students into the IT field.Educational components of this project complement the research and teaching interests of the participating faculty members, hence the proposed activities will allow faculty members at VSU to bridge research and education in the classroom. Curriculum and lab experiments developed in this proposed project will be made freely available, which may benefit other educators.

有针对性的注入项目-在弗吉尼亚州立大学开发一个新的信息技术课程-旨在在弗吉尼亚州立大学（VSU）的计算机科学计划内开发一个新的信息技术（IT）课程。该项目旨在吸引更多的非洲裔美国青年男女从事信息技术职业，成为高技能的信息技术专业人员。该项目的主要目标是：在弗吉尼亚州立大学的CS计划内建立一个新的IT课程;为希望追求IT相关STEM领域的学生提供支持;改善弗吉尼亚州立大学IT相关STEM领域的招聘和保留;为HBCU的教职员工提供支持，以开发新的研究和教育项目，促进STEM相关领域的职业发展和领导力;提高弗吉尼亚州立大学信息技术领域的教学和研究能力，吸引更多的非洲裔美国学生进入信息技术领域。该项目的教育部分补充了参与教师的研究和教学兴趣，因此拟议的活动将使弗吉尼亚州立大学的教师在课堂上架起研究和教育的桥梁。在这个拟议的项目中开发的课程和实验室实验将免费提供，这可能会使其他教育工作者受益。
