The Targeted Infusion project entitled - Informatics as Targeted Infusion for Education and Research in the Sciences (iTIERS)- will focus on advancing the inclusion of interdisciplinary informatics in the undergraduate curriculum at Morgan State University. This will be accomplished through enhancement of the teaching and research infrastructure for STEM students. To achieve this overarching goal, the iTIERS project has the following three objectives: 1) to increase the number of undergraduate STEM students who receive iTIERS academic enhancement for the improvement of computation skills building; 2) to increase the retention of lower division students in STEM disciplines as they continue to receive iTIERS academic enhancement in informatics; and 3) to increase the number of opportunities in which STEM students can learn more about informatics applications as an academic enhancement strategy to increase retention, progression, and graduation rates. The focus of the iTIERS project is directed to freshmen and sophomore STEM students who will be engaged in fundamental computational skills building through the incorporation of mentors, technology, laboratory exercises in STEM, and critical thinking activities. Upper level students, who were previously taught computational skills building, will be introduced to interdisciplinary informatics as a way of infusing into their research different approaches and techniques to algorithmic development and programming, and dataset integration and analysis.

有针对性的注入项目题为-信息学作为有针对性的注入教育和科学研究（iTIERS）-将专注于推进跨学科信息学纳入摩根州立大学的本科课程。这将通过加强STEM学生的教学和研究基础设施来实现。为了实现这一总体目标，iTIERS项目有以下三个目标：1）增加接受iTIERS学术增强以提高计算技能建设的本科STEM学生的数量; 2）增加STEM学科低年级学生的保留率，因为他们继续接受iTIERS信息学学术增强; 3）增加STEM学生学习信息学应用的机会，作为提高保留率、升学率和毕业率的学术提升策略。iTIERS项目的重点是针对大一和大二的STEM学生，他们将通过导师，技术，STEM实验室练习和批判性思维活动的结合，参与基本的计算技能建设。高水平的学生，谁是以前教计算技能建设，将被引入到跨学科信息学作为注入到他们的研究不同的方法和技术的算法开发和编程，以及数据集集成和分析的一种方式。
