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.

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）已确定以证据为基础的领导和教师的专业发展作为其优先事项之一，并致力于资助创新模式，以提高对阻碍的障碍和因素的理解，提高我们扩大参与STEM的能力。在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，促进STEM领导力合作组织（CASL）旨在通过有针对性地关注领导力，扩大代表性不足的少数民族在STEM中的参与。这一合作项目采取了一种更广泛的立场，即创造关于领导和扩大参与之间关系的新知识，并将这种知识转化为可通过国家实践社区加以推广的机构实践。最初，合作的影响将在选定的HBCU中，但是，由于其广泛触及主流STEM改革社区，这些努力最终将影响所有机构类型，并解决日益增长的对质量领导的需求，以扩大STEM的参与。因此，数以万计的代表性不足的少数民族STEM学生，在HBCU和非HBCU校园就读，将体验到最有利于他们学习和坚持STEM专业的学术环境。CASL的目标是建立领导力的研究和实践的基本原则，以扩大STEM的参与。合作将通过以下方式实现这一使命：1）研究活动，这将有助于增加领导力发展的知识基础，以扩大STEM的参与; 2）知识转化活动，这将使用基于证据的领导力发展方法，以增加HBCU领导人的数量，这些领导人具有对文化敏感的能力和能力;以及3）将发展国家实践社区的外联活动，以定义，编纂和颁布设计原则和实践，以扩大参与，从而提高HBCUs在STEM高等教育改革中心的知名度/影响力。协作的分布式结构有助于综合发现分析框架的发展和可持续性，该框架具有两个主要目的：1）它提供了促进探索性和紧急调查的鲁棒性和灵活性，这些调查直接解决了关于领导力和扩大STEM参与之间关系的研究问题; 2）它通过支持将项目持续期间出现的新见解和研究问题整合到协作组织正在进行的活动中来促进迭代和动态方法，反之亦然。
