HACU STEM Task Force

项目：科学技术卓越研究中心组织：西班牙裔大学协会标题：HACU STEM劳动力（会议提案）提案号：1457940 CREST项目的兴趣是建立与以下方面相关的知识：影响来自代表性不足群体的学生、博士后研究人员和教师在STEM学科中的不同参与和成功率的潜在问题，以及在少数民族服务机构中促进学生在STEM研究生学习所面临的障碍，以及如何有效地克服这些障碍。在国家科学基金会的支持下，西班牙裔高校协会（HACU）将实施一项名为：HACU STEM劳动力的会议项目。会议项目将建立并召集一个专家工作组，以制定政策建议，并确定和促进在西班牙裔服务机构（hsi）以及大多数机构实施的高影响力做法，以发展更多元化的STEM劳动力。作为一个由450多所学院和大学组成的国家和国际协会，致力于提高西班牙裔在高等教育中的成功，HACU有能力召集这样一个工作组，支持其努力，并促进政策建议和工作组确定的高影响力实践。虽然美国的HACU成员机构只占全国所有高等教育机构的10%，但这些机构总共招收了三分之二以上的西班牙裔大学生。HACU的目标包括促进成员院校的发展；提高西班牙裔学生接受高等教育的机会和质量；并通过开发和共享资源、信息和专业知识来满足商业、工业和政府的需求。在工作组的努力下，将产生两份报告，一份讨论与西班牙裔STEM教育相关的政策问题，另一份将强调创造多元化STEM劳动力的有希望的做法。拉美裔学院和大学协会将在其网站上发布报告，将政策建议纳入其年度立法议程，并通过其年度会议和其他项目活动向其450个成员机构以及大多数机构传播和推广具有高影响力的做法。

AbstractProgram: Centers of Research Excellence in Science and TechnologyOrganization: Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities Title: HACU STEM Workforce (Conference Proposal) Proposal Number: 1457940The CREST Program is interested in building knowledge related to the underlying issues affecting the differential participation and success rates in STEM disciplines of students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty from underrepresented groups, as well as the obstacles faced in promoting graduate study in STEM for students at minority-serving institutions and how these may effectively be overcome. With National Science Foundation support, the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) will implement a Conference Project entitled: HACU STEM Workforce. The conference project will establish and convene an expert Task Force to develop policy recommendations and to identify and promote high impact practices to be implemented at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) as well as majority institutions for the development of a more diversified STEM workforce. As a national and international association of more than 450 colleges and universities committed to improving Hispanic success in higher education, HACU is positioned to convene such a Task Force, support its efforts, and promote both the policy recommendations and the high impact practices identified by the Task Force. While HACU member institutions in the U.S. represent only 10% of all higher education institutions nationwide, together these institutions enroll more than two-thirds of all Hispanic college students. HACU goals include promoting the development of member colleges and universities; improving access to and the quality of postsecondary educational opportunities for Hispanic students; and meeting the needs of business, industry and government through the development and sharing of resources, information and expertise.Two reports will be produced as a result of the Task Force efforts, one discussing policy issues related to Hispanic STEM education and the other will highlight promising practices for creating a diverse STEM workforce. The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities will publish the reports on its website, incorporate policy recommendations into its annual Legislative Agenda, and disseminate and promote high impact practices to its 450 member institutions, as well as majority institutions through its Annual Conferences and other program activities.
