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

这包括对少数民族优质教育(QEM)网络的奖励，该网络将侧重于建设历史悠久的黑人学院和部落学院和大学的STEM研究和教学能力。HBCU和TCU分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，以吸引学生并使他们做好充分参与开发解决这些差异的创新和有效补救措施的准备。QEM设计与开发启动试点项目(DDLP)是一项合作，将为扩大参与改善科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)少数民族学生招生和留存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。如果不进行这样的投资，可能会削弱我们的STEM基础设施，并阻碍该国作为STEM世界领导者的连续性。该项目最初的合作伙伴包括五个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东岸大学)和两个TCU(Aaniiih Nakoda学院和联合部落技术学院)，目的是扩大到12个机构，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，以增加非洲裔美国人和土著美国人对STEM教育、研究和劳动力的参与；(2)加强伙伴HBCU和TCU的STEM研究、教学和指导能力；以及(3)发展和促进扩大参与(BP)实践，以满足非裔美国人和土著美国男性的学术和职业生涯需求，以显著增加他们在STEM中的代表性。QEM DDLP将实施基于证据和数据驱动的方法，以开发可根据机构需求和背景量身定做的研究、教育和指导活动。由此产生的结果将是提高科技、经济和经济管理部门的能力，这将使这些机构能够为国家扩大参与倡议作出持续贡献。

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.
