The primary goal of this planning grant proposal is to achieve the following objectives (1) complete two archival data manuscript projects- the first on Black women?s lives and roles in the history of science generally and their leadership at HBCUs in particular and the second on gender differences in achievement motivation and identity of Black adolescents in an HBCU middle school of mathematics and science; and (2) solidify formal collaborative partnership memorandum of understanding with universities and colleges, industry, a professional school, industry, and a national laboratory. The proposal adopts a behavioral science theoretical model to engage in activities that will fill significant gaps in the scholarship of the intersections of race, gender, and STEM workforce development and education. In addition, it also proposes to provide a firm foundation for the formulation of future competitive grant proposals and philanthropic giving for this institute.In terms of the project's short term broad impacts, it proposes to establish formal collaborative partnerships to engage diverse institution types with complementary strengths and proven track records of leading the nation in broadening the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM. Moreover, it proposes to produce and broadly disseminate scholarship that can inform future theory, method, and practice in secondaryandhighereducationactionresearch. The results from this project will be disseminated broadly both nationally and internationally through the professional societies and networks of the research team, as well as through the Howard University Office of Communications. The global competitiveness of the nation and its ability to reestablish itself as a world leader in scientific and technological education and innovation requires significant federal, corporate, private, and institutional investment in the scholarship and professional development of female innovators (Tchen & Jarret, 2011). The sustained engagement of behavioral scientists is an important but typically overlooked national strategy for STEM human talent development.

本计划拨款提案的主要目标是实现以下目标(1)完成两个档案数据手稿项目-第一个关于黑人妇女？他们在科学史上的生活和角色以及他们在HBCU的领导地位第二个是HBCU数学和科学中学黑人青少年成就动机和身份的性别差异；(2)与大专院校、工业界、专业学校、工业界和国家实验室建立正式的合作伙伴关系谅解备忘录。该提案采用了一种行为科学理论模型来参与一些活动，这些活动将填补种族、性别和STEM劳动力发展与教育交叉领域的学术空白。此外，它还建议为该研究所制定未来竞争性赠款提案和慈善捐赠提供坚实的基础。就该项目的短期广泛影响而言，它建议建立正式的合作伙伴关系，以吸引具有互补优势的不同机构类型，并在领导国家扩大代表性不足群体参与STEM方面取得了良好的记录。此外，它建议产生和广泛传播可以为中学和高等教育行动研究的未来理论，方法和实践提供信息的奖学金。该项目的成果将通过研究小组的专业学会和网络以及通过霍华德大学通讯办公室在国内和国际上广泛传播。美国的全球竞争力及其在科技教育和创新方面重新确立自己作为世界领导者的能力，需要联邦、企业、私人和机构对女性创新者的奖学金和专业发展进行大量投资（陈家和；jarrett, 2011）。行为科学家的持续参与是STEM人类人才发展的重要但通常被忽视的国家战略。
