The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) supports conferences and workshops that seek to increase the representation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students at HBCUs in graduate school and the workforce. In that regard, the National GEM Consortium will conduct a workshop on the campus of six HBCU campuses for undergraduate STEM students to enable them to compete for competitive graduate fellowships such as the National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship Program; position them for acceptance to graduate school; and establish peer networks on each campus. The workshop will model the successful GEM GRAD Labs and integrate strategies designed to reduce attrition and increase students' time to degree by focusing on financial options such as fellowships, internships, and research assistantships. The workshop will adopt a format that has been used successfully in outreach programs designed to broaden the participation of underrepresented minorities in STEM. The format is portable and designed to optimize the participation of students on the six targeted campuses. The workshop expects to impact about 600 undergraduate STEM students who will be better positioned to pursue graduate programs and careers. The format could be replicated at other institutions and provide the impetus for sustaining this activity as an infrastructure enhancement.

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科项目（HBCU-UP）支持会议和研讨会，旨在增加hbcu中科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学生在研究生院和劳动力中的代表性。在这方面，国家创业板联盟将在六个HBCU校区为本科STEM学生举办一个研讨会，使他们能够竞争有竞争力的研究生奖学金，如国家科学基金会研究生奖学金计划；为研究生院的录取做好准备；并在每个校园建立对等网络。研讨会将模仿成功的创业板研究生实验室，并整合旨在减少人员流失和增加学生获得学位的时间的策略，重点关注奖学金、实习和研究助理奖学金等经济选择。研讨会将采用一种成功应用于旨在扩大代表性不足的少数群体参与STEM的外展项目的形式。这种形式是便携式的，旨在优化六个目标校区学生的参与。该研讨会预计将影响约600名STEM本科学生，他们将更有能力攻读研究生课程和职业。这种形式可以在其他机构复制，并为维持这一活动提供动力，作为加强基础设施的手段。
