Cheyney Universitys implementation project entitled - Building Excellence and Access through Research (BEAR) - has the goal to increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students, as well as increase their admission rate to STEM graduate programs or to the STEM workforce. This goal will be attained through three interrelated activities: curriculum development and instrumentation, faculty development, and student development. The project is based on the lessons learned from the previous HBCU-UP implementation project, interventions and strategies adapted from best practices described in the literature, formative and outcome-based evaluation results, and the overall mission and priorities of the University.The expected project outcomes include: increased STEM student graduation rates; increased use of technology in teaching and research by STEM faculty; strengthened relationships and partnerships with other academic institutions and industry partners; increased faculty participation in research, grant writing and other scholarly activities; enhanced quality of undergraduate research experiences; and increased numbers of students going to graduate school.

切尼大学的实施项目名为-通过研究建设卓越和访问（BEAR）-的目标是增加科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学生的招聘，保留和毕业，以及提高他们对STEM研究生课程或STEM劳动力的录取率。这一目标将通过三个相互关联的活动来实现：课程开发和仪器，教师发展和学生发展。 该项目是基于从以前的HBCU-UP实施项目，干预和文献中描述的最佳做法，形成和成果为基础的评估结果，以及大学的整体使命和优先事项改编的战略吸取的经验教训。预期的项目成果包括：提高STEM学生毕业率; STEM教师在教学和研究中更多地使用技术;加强了与其他学术机构和行业合作伙伴的关系和伙伴关系;增加了教师参与研究，赠款写作和其他学术活动;提高了本科生研究经验的质量;并增加了进入研究生院的学生人数。
