The Morgan State University INCLUDES project will build on an existing regional partnership of four Historically Black Colleges and Universities that are working together to improve STEM outcomes for middle school minority male students that are local to Morgan State in Baltimore, North Carolina A&T in Greensboro, Jackson State in Mississippi, and Kentucky State in Frankfort. Additional partners include SRI International, the National CARES Mentoring Network, and the Verizon Foundation. Using the collective impact-style approaches such as planning and implementing a Network Improvement Community (NIC), developing a shared agenda and implementing mutually reinforcing activities, these partners will address two common goals: (1) Broaden the participation of underrepresented minority males in science and engineering through educational experiences that prepare them for careers in STEM fields; and (2) Create a Network Improvement Community focused on STEM achievement in minority males. Program elements include high-quality instruction in STEM content, mentoring, and professional development. The project will expand to include eight additional partners (six HBCUs and two Hispanic-Serving Institutions) and schools and districts in communities local to their campuses. The INCLUDES pilot will help scale innovations that target impacting minorities in STEM. The project will develop STEM learning pathways for middle school minority males by harnessing the collective impact of 12 university partners, local K-12 schools and districts with which they partner, and surrounding community organizations and businesses with a vested interest in achieving common goals. Products will include a roadmap for addressing the problem through a Network Improvement Community, a website that will contribute to the knowledge base regarding effective strategies for enhancing STEM educational opportunities for minority males, and common metrics, assessments, and shared measurement systems that will be used to measure the collective impact of the Network Improvement Community.

摩根州立大学“包括”项目将建立在四所历史上黑人学院和大学的现有区域合作伙伴关系的基础上，这些学院和大学正在共同努力，以改善巴尔的摩的摩根州立大学、格林斯伯勒的北卡罗来纳州、密西西比的杰克逊州立大学和法兰克福的肯塔基州州立大学的中学少数族裔男学生的STEM成果。其他合作伙伴包括SRI International、National CARES Mentoring Network和Verizon Foundation。这些合作伙伴将采用集体影响式方法，如规划和实施网络改善社区（NIC）、制定共同议程和实施相辅相成的活动，以实现两个共同目标：（1）通过教育经验，使代表性不足的少数群体男性更广泛地参与科学和工程，为他们在STEM领域的职业生涯做好准备;（2）创建一个网络改进社区，专注于少数民族男性的STEM成就。 计划内容包括STEM内容，指导和专业发展的高质量教学。该项目将扩大到包括另外八个合作伙伴（六个HBCU和两个西班牙裔服务机构）以及校园当地社区的学校和地区。INCLUDES试点将有助于扩大针对STEM中影响少数群体的创新。该项目将通过利用12所大学合作伙伴、当地K-12学校和与之合作的地区以及周边社区组织和企业的集体影响，为中学少数民族男性开发STEM学习途径。产品将包括通过网络改善社区解决问题的路线图，一个网站，将有助于知识库关于增强少数民族男性STEM教育机会的有效战略，以及用于衡量网络改善社区集体影响的通用指标，评估和共享测量系统。
