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 North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University (NCA&T) seeks to transform course delivery in the physics gatekeeper courses by adapting and implementing the Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside down Pedagogies (SCALE-UP) model. The activities and strategies are evidence-based and a strong plan for formative and summative evaluation is part of the project.This project has the specific goals to: build and implement the SCALE-UP model for the four Introductory Physics gateway courses; build a community of practice for student centered learning; and build a strategic pipeline for high-achieving STEM students by attracting and retaining talented students in STEM majors. Each year, the four targeted courses will enroll approximately 1,300 students from the STEM disciplines. Based on results from a pilot project with this approach, it is expected that this approach will increase students' conceptual understanding, reduce failure rates, improve performance in subsequent courses, develop faculty teaching expertise, and increase the retention rate of physics majors.

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目支持开发，实施和基于证据的创新模式和方法的研究，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）研究生课程和/或职业。北卡罗来纳州农业技术州立大学（NCA T）的项目旨在通过调整和实施以学生为中心的积极学习环境与颠倒教学法（SCALE-UP）模型来改变物理守门员课程的课程交付。该项目的具体目标是：为四门物理入门课程建立和实施SCALE-UP模型;建立以学生为中心的学习实践社区;通过吸引和留住STEM专业的优秀学生，为高成就的STEM学生建立战略管道。每年，这四门目标课程将招收大约1,300名STEM学科的学生。 基于这种方法的试点项目的结果，预计这种方法将增加学生的概念理解，降低失败率，提高后续课程的表现，发展教师的教学专业知识，并提高物理专业的留存率。
