The objective of this proposal is to improve undergraduate student education in STEM at Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). This will be accomplished by: i) identifying common issues that prevent HSIs from obtaining extramural funding which may impact student retention and graduation rate; ii) connecting STEM educators at HSIs throughout the country through the creation of a centralized faculty development network website: and iii) providing access to available resources recently supported by NSF. At the core of the project is a symposium that will be held at the University of Texas El Paso centering on the improvement of HSIs R&D funding rates. The outcome of this work will result in better trained faculty, establishment of communication network between HSIs around the country, and documented resources for faculty to use. The proposed work will contribute to the strengthening of HSIs capacity for performing high quality research in various STEM disciplines and providing research opportunities for undergraduate students. This will increase participation of underrepresented minorities in STEM fields and contribute to the building of a competent STEM workforce.

这项建议的目标是改善西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)STEM的本科生教育。这将通过以下方式实现：i)找出阻碍高等专上教育机构获得校外资金的共同问题，这些问题可能会影响学生留校率和毕业率；ii)通过创建一个集中的教师发展网络网站，将全国各地高等专上教育机构的STEM教育工作者联系起来；iii)提供对最近得到NSF支持的可用资源的访问。该项目的核心是将在德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校举行的一次研讨会，该研讨会的中心议题是提高HSIS的研发资金率。这项工作的结果将导致更好地培训教师，在全国各地的HIS之间建立通信网络，并为教师提供有文件记录的资源。拟议的工作将有助于加强HSIS在各STEM学科进行高质量研究的能力，并为本科生提供研究机会。这将增加人数不足的少数群体在科技教育领域的参与度，并有助于建设一支称职的科技教育劳动力队伍。
