Implementation Projects provide support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities to design, implement, study, and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the number of students receiving undergraduate degrees in STEM and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. The award to Harris Stowe State University seeks to build on previous successful efforts to increase participation of African-American students in STEM disciplines, including STEM Teacher Education. The institution seeks to provide students with the academic preparation, as well as analytical and technical competencies they will need to succeed in graduate school or STEM careers. The project has three specific objectives that tie in to the overarching goal: 1) to increase the recruitment and enrollment of first-year and transfer STEM majors; 2) to increase the retention and graduation of STEM majors; and 3) to increase student engagement through faculty development opportunities. A set of evidence-based strategies and interventions has been designed to achieve these objectives. Through the evaluation plan the project will address the question: "To what extent can academic and social integration interventions impact student retention, student success, student engagement and graduation in STEM disciplines, particularly at a small Historically Black University?"

实施项目为传统黑人学院和大学提供支持，以设计、实施、研究和评估全面的机构努力，以增加获得STEM本科学位的学生人数，并通过加强STEM教育和研究来提高他们的准备质量。哈里斯斯托州立大学（Harris Stowe State University）获得的这一奖项旨在以以往的成功努力为基础，提高非裔美国学生在STEM学科（包括STEM教师教育）中的参与度。该机构旨在为学生提供学术准备，以及他们在研究生院或STEM职业生涯中取得成功所需的分析和技术能力。该项目有三个与总体目标相关的具体目标：1)增加一年级和转学STEM专业的招聘和入学率；2)提高STEM专业的留用率和毕业率；3)通过教师发展机会提高学生参与度。为实现这些目标，制定了一套循证战略和干预措施。通过评估计划，该项目将解决以下问题：“学术和社会融合干预措施在多大程度上影响STEM学科的学生留存率、学生成功、学生参与度和毕业率，尤其是在一所小型的传统黑人大学？”
