The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) provides support to undertake an institutional self-analysis in preparation for a Broadening Participation Research Center. Broadening Participation Research Centers are expected to serve as national hubs for the rigorous study and broad dissemination of the critical pedagogies and culturally sensitive interventions that contribute to the success of HBCUs in educating African American science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduates. This project is a collaborative effort between the initial members of an education research consortium: Tennessee State University, Prairie View A&M University, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The consortium of schools and team of researchers will work to plan research activities that will lead to the formation of a research center that delineates which individual factors, environmental factors, institutional practices, procedures, and policies are most effective in ensuring that students successfully complete STEM degrees at HBCUs. Activities of this project include: implementating a strategic planning framework built upon the broadening participation education research expertise of the collaborating institutions involved in the development of an expanded education research consortium of HBCUs; using evidence-based strategies to generate a high-quality plan for the research thrusts and research methodologies of the resulting center; and addressing the gap in the literature regarding STEM education research results, practices and policies pertinent to student persistence and graduation at HBCUs. The project will be guided by an on-going evaluation and an external advisory committee.

历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科生方案（HBCU-UP）为进行机构自我分析提供支持，为扩大参与研究中心做准备。 扩大参与研究中心预计将作为严格的研究和广泛传播的关键知识和文化敏感的干预措施，有助于HBCUs在教育非洲裔美国人科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）本科生的成功国家中心。这个项目是一个教育研究联盟的最初成员之间的合作努力：田纳西州立大学，草原视图A M大学，摩根州立大学，北卡罗来纳州A T州立大学，弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学。学校和研究人员团队的联盟将致力于规划研究活动，这将导致一个研究中心的形成，该研究中心划定了哪些个人因素，环境因素，机构实践，程序和政策是最有效的，以确保学生在HBCU成功完成STEM学位。该项目的活动包括：实施一个战略规划框架，该框架建立在参与发展一个扩大的HBCU教育研究联合体的合作机构的广泛参与教育研究专门知识的基础上;利用循证战略为由此产生的中心的研究重点和研究方法制定一个高质量的计划;并解决文献中关于STEM教育研究结果、实践和政策与HBCU学生坚持和毕业有关的差距。该项目将由一个正在进行的评价和一个外部咨询委员会指导。
