NSF INCLUDES: QEM Design & Development Launch Pilot (DDLP) Project in Partnership with HBCUs and TCUs

这包括授予少数民族优质教育（QEM）网络的奖项，将侧重于建设STEM研究和历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU）和部落学院和大学（TCU）的教学能力。HBCUs和TCUs分享影响其社区的差异的影响，并不断寻求STEM研究和教育解决方案，以吸引学生并使他们准备充分参与制定创新和有效的补救措施，以解决这些差异。QEM设计开发启动试点（DDLP）项目是一项合作，将为扩大参与提高少数民族学生在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的入学率和保留率的机构的参与提供基础。为了在未来的全球经济中具有竞争力，国家必须在其代表性不足的群体（包括男性和残疾人）的STEM教育方面进行更大的投资。不进行这样的投资可能会削弱我们的STEM基础设施，并抑制国家作为STEM世界领导者的连续性。该项目的初始合作伙伴包括五个HBCU（莫尔豪斯学院，摩根州立大学，斯佩尔曼学院，塔斯基吉大学和马里兰州东海岸大学）和两个TCU（Aaniih Nakoda学院和联合部落技术学院），旨在扩大到12个机构，以及增加商业/行业合作伙伴和以STEM为重点的专业协会。DDLP项目的目标是：（1）建立和维持一个联盟，以增加非裔美国人和美洲原住民在STEM教育，研究和劳动力的参与;（2）加强合作伙伴HBCU和TCU的STEM研究，教学和指导能力;（3）发展和促进扩大参与（BP）解决非裔美国人和美洲原住民男性的学术和职业需求的做法，以显着增加他们在STEM的代表性。QEM DDLP将实施基于证据和数据驱动的方法，以开发可以根据机构需求和背景量身定制的研究，教育和指导活动。由此产生的成果将是提高HBCU和TCU在STEM方面的能力，使这些机构能够为国家扩大参与倡议做出持续贡献。

This INCLUDES award to the Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network will focus on building STEM research and teaching capacity of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). HBCUs and TCUs share the impact of disparities that affect their communities and are constantly seeking STEM research and education solutions to engage students and prepare them to be fully involved in developing innovative and effective remedies that will address these disparities. The QEM Design & Development Launch Pilot (DDLP) Project is a collaboration that will provide an underpinning for broadening the participation of institutions involved in improving the enrollment and retention of minority students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). To be competitive in a future global economy, the Nation must make a larger investment in the STEM education of its underrepresented groups, including, males and persons with disabilities. Failure to make such an investment can weaken our STEM infrastructure and inhibit the continuity of the Nation as a world leader in STEM. The project's initial partners consist of five HBCUs (Morehouse College, Morgan State University, Spelman College, Tuskegee University, and University of Maryland Eastern Shore) and two TCUs (Aaniiih Nakoda College and United Tribes Technical College) with the aim of expanding to 12 institutions as well as adding business/industry partners and STEM-focused professional societies. The goals of the DDLP project are to: (1) build and sustain an alliance to increase the participation of African Americans and Native Americans in STEM education, research, and the workforce; (2) strengthen the STEM research, instructional, and mentoring capacities of partner HBCUs and TCUs; and (3) develop and promote broadening participation (BP) practices to address academic and professional career needs of African American and Native American males to significantly increase their representation in STEM. The QEM DDLP will implement evidence-based and data-driven approaches to developing research, education, and mentoring activities that can be tailored to institutional needs and context. The resulting outcome will be an increase in the capacities of HBCUs and TCUs in STEM that will position these institutions for sustained contributions to national broadening participation initiatives.
