The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) graduate programs and/or careers. The project at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) seeks to enhance the quality and experience of underrepresented undergraduate students in the psychology department with the goal of increasing the number of students prepared for research careers. The project takes the novel approach of integrating the psychology curriculum with natural science and infusing it with cultural neuroscience, an emerging interdisciplinary field. The activities and strategies are evidence-based. This project has the objectives to: establish an honors curriculum within the department; enhance the curricular offerings within the psychology program at WSSU by improving the biological/cognitive foundation area; and modernize and upgrade the instructional and research equipment used by students and faculty. The project is designed to keep students engaged in scientific discovery, promote interactions between students and faculty, and expose students to current and emerging technology. Demonstrating and evaluating a pathway for psychology majors to the field of cognitive science and STEM research preparation could serve as a model to other programs.

历史上黑人学院和大学本科项目 (HBCU-UP) 通过定向注入项目支持开发、实施和研究基于证据的创新模型和方法，以改善 HBCU 本科生的准备和成功，以便他们可以追求科学、技术、工程或数学 (STEM) 研究生课程和/或职业。温斯顿-塞勒姆州立大学 (WSSU) 的该项目旨在提高心理学系中代表性不足的本科生的质量和经验，目标是增加为研究职业做好准备的学生数量。 该项目采用新颖的方法，将心理学课程与自然科学相结合，并将其与文化神经科学这一新兴的跨学科领域相结合。 这些活动和策略是基于证据的。 该项目的目标是： 在系内建立荣誉课程；通过改善生物/认知基础领域，增强 WSSU 心理学项目的课程设置；对学生和教师使用的教学和研究设备进行现代化和升级。 该项目旨在让学生参与科学发现，促进学生和教师之间的互动，并使学生接触当前和新兴技术。 展示和评估心理学专业学生进入认知科学领域和 STEM 研究准备的途径可以作为其他项目的典范。
