A Proposal to Provide Technical Assistance in the National Science Foundation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Undergraduate Program

该奖项使少数民族优质教育（QEM）网络能够为HBCU的教师提供7个研讨会。该系列包括为从未获得HBCU-UP支持的少数民族服务机构的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师举办的提案开发研讨会。 该系列研讨会的重点是提高目前HBCU-UP受资助机构的STEM和/或教育教师的能力，为NSF的HBCU-UP计划准备有竞争力的扩大参与研究（BPR）和研究启动奖（RIA）提案。拟议的项目召集来自受赠机构的STEM初级教师，讨论有效指导和培训STEM本科生作为研究助理。 这些研讨会旨在帮助确保从HBCU机构毕业并获得STEM学科学位的学生-准备成功地追求STEM研究生学习或过渡到STEM劳动力。研讨会将涉及来自HBCU的至少250名不同的STEM教师，并为机构追求和成功地获得更多的STEM和STEM教育活动的支持提供坚实的基础。各自的校园。加强在讲习班系列中代表的少数民族服务机构的STEM学科课程，提高了这些机构STEM毕业生的数量和质量。这反过来又使HBCU能够加强和扩大其对国家质量和生产力的贡献？STEM劳动力。

This award enables the Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network to offer 7 workshops for faculty at HBCUs. The series includes proposal development workshops for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) faculty at these minority-serving institutions that have never received HBCU-UP support. Workshops in the series focuses on enhancing the ability of STEM and/or Education faculty at current HBCU-UP grantee institutions to prepare competitive Broadening Participation Research (BPR) and Research Initiation Awards (RIA) proposals to NSF's HBCU-UP program. The proposed project convenes STEM junior faculty from grantee institutions to discuss effective mentoring and training of STEM undergraduates as research assistants. These workshops are designed to help ensure that students who graduate from HBCU institutions with degrees in STEM disciplines are well-prepared to successfully pursue STEM graduate study or to transition into the STEM workforce.The workshops will involve a minimum of 250 different STEM faculty from HBCUs and provide a strong foundation for institutions to pursue and successfully receive increased support for STEM and STEM education activities on their respective campuses. Strengthening STEM disciplinary offerings at minority-serving institutions represented in the workshop series increases the number and quality of preparation of STEM graduates from these institutions. This, in turn, positions HBCUs to enhance and expand their contribution to the quality and productivity of the Nation?s STEM workforce.
