Hampton University's Targeted Infusion Project entitled - Educational Partnership in Climate Change and Sustainability (EPiCCS) - seeks to enhance the continuing partnership among the Marine & Environmental Science Department at Hampton University, the Biology Department at Elizabeth City State University, and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, which is part of the College of William & Mary, by supporting integrated cross-institutional research and educational experiences centered on sustainability and the effects of global climate change. These three institutions have had a long history of successful synergistic collaborations that train underrepresented undergraduate students and provide conduits and trajectories to graduate training in the geosciences.EPiCCS proposes to support the recruitment, development, and retention of talented students at two Historically Black Universities and Colleges (HBCUs) to participate in interdisciplinary training and education on sustainability and global climate change; to improve technology and cyber infrastructure at the two HBCUs to enrich experiential inquiry-based learning, support the development of new course offerings, and modernize current offerings; to emphasize curricular training that fuses practical applications and inquiry-based research experiences to provide new opportunities for hands-on learning; to promote collaborative cross-campus cyber and peer-learning; to build essential competencies in oral and written scientific communication in the next generation of geoscientists; and to guide students toward post-graduate STEM degrees via peer and faculty mentorship.The EPiCCS network will form a model of sustainability that may later be extended to other HBCUs and research partners.

汉普顿大学的目标注入项目名为“气候变化和可持续发展的教育伙伴关系”（EPiCCS），旨在加强汉普顿大学海洋与环境科学系、伊丽莎白城市州立大学生物系和弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所（威廉玛丽学院的一部分）之间的持续伙伴关系。通过支持以可持续发展和全球气候变化影响为中心的综合跨机构研究和教育经验。这三个机构在培养代表性不足的本科生和为地球科学研究生培训提供渠道和轨迹方面有着成功的协同合作的悠久历史。EPiCCS提议支持两所历史悠久的黑人大学和学院（HBCUs）招募、发展和留住有才华的学生，以参与可持续发展和全球气候变化的跨学科培训和教育；改善两所hbcu的技术和网络基础设施，以丰富体验式探究学习，支持新课程的开发，并使现有课程现代化；强调课程训练，融合实际应用和探究性研究经验，提供实践学习的新机会；促进跨校园网络协作和同侪学习；为下一代地球科学家建立口头和书面科学交流的基本能力；并通过同伴和教师指导指导学生获得STEM研究生学位。EPiCCS网络将形成一个可持续性的模式，以后可能会推广到其他hbcu和研究伙伴。
