Achieving Competitive Excellence Implementation Projects in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate program provide support to design, implement, study and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the numbers of students and the quality of their preparation by strengthening science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and research. This project at the University of the Virgin Islands seeks to develop a growth mindset and creativity through specific evidence-based interventions. The project will be validated with a carefully designed educational research study which focuses on the novel use of growth mindset training. The project is guided and informed by an on-going evaluation.Specific objectives of the project are to: increase by 15% the retention and persistence rates for those STEM students who struggle early in their college careers; increase by 10% overall persistence and graduation rates for STEM students; increase the self-efficacy of STEM students as measured by validated, reliable instruments; establish a summer bridge program focused on mathematics for incoming freshmen; have summer and academic year research experiences; conduct mindset training in the freshman development seminar; and develop a sustained, comprehensive evidence-based faculty development program, which will give faculty the skills and tools necessary for the success of the overall model. This project will provide a validated replicable model that can be used by other open admissions or low selectivity universities and community colleges throughout the Nation.

在传统黑人学院和大学中实现卓越竞争实施项目 - 本科课程为设计、实施、研究和评估综合机构工作提供支持，通过加强科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 教育和研究来增加学生数量和学生的准备质量。维尔京群岛大学的这个项目旨在通过具体的基于证据的干预措施来培养成长心态和创造力。该项目将通过精心设计的教育研究进行验证，该研究的重点是成长心态培训的新颖用途。该项目以持续评估为指导和信息。该项目的具体目标是： 将那些在大学生涯早期遇到困难的 STEM 学生的保留率和坚持率提高 15%； STEM 学生的整体坚持率和毕业率提高 10%；通过经过验证的可靠仪器来衡量，提高 STEM 学生的自我效能感； 为新生建立一个以数学为重点的夏季桥梁课程；有暑期和学年研究经验；在新生发展研讨会上进行心态训练；制定一个持续的、全面的、基于证据的教师发展计划，这将为教师提供整个模型成功所需的技能和工具。该项目将提供一个经过验证的可复制模型，可供全国其他开放招生或低选择性大学和社区学院使用。
