Howard University is one of only 48 U.S. private, Doctoral/Research-Extensive universities and one of the premier Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the country. The submission of their institutional transformation proposal comes at a very propitious time in their history as over 50% of their faculty are retiring in the next five years leaving a huge need for STEM hiring that could be truly transformative. Howard has a strong history of advancing Women of Color, especially STEM women, into administrative positions. Their activities center around three goals- broad stakeholder education, changes related to institutional and individual advocacy, and individual empowerment through training and opportunity. Howard University presents NSF with an important opportunity to expand our knowledge of institutional transformation at HBCUs and this proposal is uniquely designed to do this through the national archive on the scholarship of women of color in STEM (e.g., leadership, professional experiences, and accomplishments), their basic data collection and evaluation efforts, and the proposed social science research. The social science research is a strong, theoretically-based, mixed-method approach to understanding women in STEM, and specifically URM women in STEM which should contribute meaningfully to the literature.

霍华德大学是美国仅有的48所私立博士/研究型大学之一，也是美国历史上最重要的黑人学院和大学之一。 他们的机构转型提案的提交是在他们历史上一个非常有利的时刻，因为超过50%的教师将在未来五年内退休，这将导致对STEM招聘的巨大需求，这可能是真正的变革。 霍华德在推动有色人种妇女，特别是STEM妇女进入行政职位方面有着悠久的历史。 他们的活动围绕三个目标-广泛的利益相关者教育，与机构和个人宣传有关的变化，以及通过培训和机会赋予个人权力。 霍华德大学为NSF提供了一个重要的机会，以扩大我们对HBCU机构转型的了解，这项提案的独特设计是通过国家档案馆对STEM中有色人种女性的奖学金来实现这一点（例如，领导能力、专业经验和成就）、基本数据收集和评估工作以及拟议的社会科学研究。 社会科学研究是一种强大的，基于理论的，混合方法的方法来理解STEM中的女性，特别是STEM中的URM女性，这应该对文献有意义。
