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

这包括授予少数族裔优质教育网络（QEM）的奖项，该网络将专注于建立传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）以及部落学院和大学（tcu）的STEM研究和教学能力。hbcu和tcu共同承担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，并为他们充分参与制定创新和有效的补救措施做好准备，以解决这些差异。QEM设计与开发启动试点项目（DDLP）是一项合作项目，将为扩大参与改善科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域少数民族学生的入学率和留用率的机构提供基础。为了在未来的全球经济中具有竞争力，美国必须在其代表性不足的群体（包括男性和残疾人）的STEM教育上加大投资。如果不能进行这样的投资，就会削弱我们的STEM基础设施，并抑制美国在STEM领域保持世界领先地位的连续性。该项目的最初合作伙伴包括五所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大学东海岸）和两所tcu （Aaniiih Nakoda学院和United Tribes技术学院），目标是扩大到12所院校，并增加商业/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国原住民在STEM教育、研究和劳动力中的参与；(2)加强合作hbcu和tcu的STEM研究、教学和指导能力；(3)发展和促进拓宽参与（BP）实践，以满足非裔美国人和美洲原住民男性的学术和专业职业需求，显著增加他们在STEM中的代表性。QEM DDLP将实施基于证据和数据驱动的方法来开展研究、教育和指导活动，这些活动可以根据机构的需求和背景进行调整。由此产生的结果将是提高hbcu和tcu在STEM方面的能力，这将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.
