Providing Technical Assistance to Broaden Participation in the National Science Foundation?s Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program

颁发给少数民族优质教育奖将为少数族裔服务机构的初级理工科教师和符合条件的未被充分代表的少数族裔教师提供技术援助，以促进他们成功参与美国国家科学基金会的教师早期职业发展(CALEAR)计划，强调美国国家科学基金会S的职业与生活平衡倡议。STEM的教职员工人数不足，在培养STEM学科中代表性不足的群体获得学士学位的过程中，以及在攻读研究生学位的少数族裔大学毕业生的不成比例的培养中，发挥着至关重要的作用。此外，该项目将帮助促进国家科学基金会的职业-生活平衡倡议，努力保留、推进和支持STEM劳动力中有色人种妇女的早期职业生涯。因此，将扩大参与范围，增强基金会方案的多样性，并解决关键的生活质量问题，以帮助招聘和留住早期职业教师。

This award to the Quality Education for Minorities will provide technical assistance to junior science and engineering faculty at minority-serving institutions and eligible underrepresented minority faculty to facilitate successful participation in the NSF's Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program, underscoring the NSF?s Career-Life Balance initiative. Under-represented faculty in STEM have an essential role in the production of baccalaureate degree recipients of under-represented groups in STEM disciplines as well as in the disproportionate production of minority college graduates who pursue graduate degrees. In addition, the project will assist in the promotion of the NSF's Career-Life Balance Initiative in an effort to retain, advance and support the early careers of women of color in the STEM workforce. Consequently there will be the broadening of participation, and enhancing diversity within the Foundation's programs as well as address key quality of life issues to aid in the recruitment and retention of early career faculty.
