The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) has identified evidence-based leadership and professional development of faculty as one of its priorities and is committed to funding innovative models to enhance the understanding of the barriers that hinder and factors that enhance our ability to broaden participation in STEM. With support from the National Science Foundation, the Collaborative for the Advancement of STEM Leadership (CASL) aims to broaden the participation of underrepresented minorities in STEM through a targeted focus on leadership. This collaborative project embraces a more expanded position of creating new knowledge about the relationship between leadership and broadening participation, and transferring that knowledge into institutional practices that can be promulgated through a national community of practice. Initially, the impact of the Collaborative will be among select HBCUs, but, because of its broad reach into mainstream STEM reform communities, these efforts will eventually impact all institutional types and address the growing need for quality leadership for broadening participation in STEM. As a result, tens of thousands of underrepresented minority STEM students, enrolled at both HBCUs and non-HBCU campuses, will experience the kind of academic environments that are most conducive to their learning and persisting as STEM majors.The goal of CASL is to establish the foundational tenets of the research and practice of leadership for broadening participation in STEM. The Collaborative will achieve this mission through: 1) research activities that will contribute to an increased knowledge base on leadership development for broadening participation in STEM; 2) knowledge translation activities that will use an evidence-based approach to leadership development to increase the number of HBCU leaders with culturally responsive competencies and capacities; and 3) outreach activities that will develop a national Community of Practice to define, codify, and promulgate design principles and practices for broadening participation and thereby increase the visibility/influence of HBCUs at the center of STEM higher education reform. The distributed structure of the Collaborative lends itself to the development and sustainability of an integrated discovery analytical framework that serves two primary purposes: 1) it provides robustness and flexibility in facilitating exploratory and emergent lines of inquiry that directly address research questions about the relationship between leadership and broadening participation in STEM; and 2) it facilitates an iterative and dynamic approach by supporting the integration of new insights and research questions that emerge over the project's duration into the Collaborative's ongoing activities, and vice versa.

历史悠久的黑人学院本科课程（HBCU-UP）已将基于证据的领导力和教师的专业发展确定为其优先事项之一，并致力于为创新模型提供资金，以增强对障碍的理解，从而增强我们扩大STEM参与能力的障碍和因素。在国家科学基金会的支持下，STEM领导力发展的合作组织（CASL）旨在通过针对性的专注于领导才能扩大代表性不足的少数民族参与STEM的参与。这个协作项目涵盖了更扩展的立场，即创造有关领导力与扩大参与之间关系的新知识，并将这些知识转移到可以通过民族实践社区颁布的机构实践。最初，协作的影响将在某些HBCU中之一，但是，由于其进入主流STEM改革社区的广泛影响力，这些努力最终将影响所有机构类型，并满足不断增长的质量领导力对扩大STEM参与的需求。结果，在HBCU和非HBCU校园招收的成千上万代表性不足的少数族裔STEM学生将体验到最有利于他们作为STEM专业的学习和持续存在的学术环境。CASL的目标是确定在STEM中扩大参与茎的研究和实践的基础。协作将通过：1）研究活动实现这一任务，这将有助于提高领导力发展的知识发展，以扩大参与STEM的参与； 2）知识翻译活动将使用基于证据的方法来领导发展，以增加具有文化响应能力和能力的HBCU领导者的数量； 3）外展活动将开发一个民族社区，以定义，编纂和颁布设计原则和实践，以扩大参与，从而增加HBCU在STEM高等教育改革中心的可见性/影响力。协作的分布式结构使自己有两个主要目的的综合发现分析框架的发展和可持续性：1）它在促进探索性和新兴询问方面提供了鲁棒性和灵活性，直接解决有关有关领导力与STEM中领导力参与之间的关系的研究问题； 2）它通过支持将项目的持续时间纳入协作的持续活动中的新见解和研究问题的整合，从而促进了一种迭代和动态的方法，反之亦然。
