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

这项授予少数民族优质教育的奖项将为少数民族服务机构的初级科学和工程教师以及符合条件的代表性不足的少数民族教师提供技术援助，以促进成功参与NSF的教师早期职业发展（CAREER）计划，强调NSF？职业生活平衡倡议。 在STEM中代表性不足的教师在STEM学科代表性不足的群体的学士学位获得者的生产以及追求研究生学位的少数民族大学毕业生的不成比例的生产中发挥着至关重要的作用。此外，该项目将协助促进NSF的职业生活平衡倡议，以努力保留，推进和支持有色人种女性在STEM劳动力的早期职业生涯。因此，将有参与的扩大，并提高基金会的方案内的多样性，以及解决关键的生活质量问题，以帮助招聘和保留早期职业教师。

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.
