Increasing the Participation of Minority-serving Institutions in the National Science Foundation' s Mathematics and Science Partnership (MSP) Program

少数族裔优质教育(QEM)网络正在举办两个研讨会，为少数族裔服务机构(MSI)提供技术援助，以增加它们在NSF数学和科学伙伴关系(MSP)计划中的参与度和竞争力。技术援助将以每年为期两天的研讨会的形式提供，以协助来自MSI的三人团队进一步发展他们对2012财年和2013财年MSP比赛的MSP提案的想法。每个机构团队将由一名科学、技术、工程或数学(STEM)教员、一名教育教员和一名来自当地/地区学区的代表组成。历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)、西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)和拥有认可教师教育计划的部落学院和大学(TCU)将成为特别目标。在每个研讨会之后，研讨会议程以及研讨会介绍的链接都张贴在QEM的网站上。还张贴了目前资助的MSP项目的精选摘要，这些项目侧重于以少数族裔为主的学区，以便其他感兴趣的群体可以受益。

The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network is conducting two workshops to provide technical assistance to minority-serving institutions (MSIs) to increase their participation and competitiveness in NSF's Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program. The technical assistance will be in the form of annual two-day workshops to assist three-person teams from MSIs in further developing their ideas for MSP proposals for the FY 2012 and FY 2013 MSP competitions. Each institutional team will consist of a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) faculty member, an education faculty member, and a representative from a local/regional school district. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) with accredited teacher education programs will be specifically targeted. Following each workshop, the workshop agenda, with links to workshop presentations, are posted at QEM's website. Also posted are selected abstracts of currently funded MSP projects that focus on predominantly minority school districts, so that other interested groups can benefit.
