The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network will conduct a proposal development workshop for STEM faculty at 2-year and 4-year Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to advance their knowledge of and improve their competitiveness in the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program. MSIs play an essential role in the production of baccalaureate degree recipients of underrepresented groups in STEM disciplines as well as in the disproportionate production of underrepresented undergraduate students who go on to receive advanced degrees in STEM. Increasing S-STEM awards at MSIs will assist MSIs in developing and sustaining student enrolment and matriculation in STEM majors. Furthermore, ensuring the competitiveness of faculty and students will enhance diversity in STEM education and STEM workforce, which in turn, will contribute to America's global competitiveness. The workshop will support two-person faculty teams from 20 MSIs interested in developing competitive S-STEM proposals. Participants will also engage in a series of post-workshop individualized sessions that will provide additional proposal guidance. The workshop content and post-workshop technical assistance will be delivered by a team of consultants with expertise in STEM and STEM education, including NSF grantee PIs and education researchers. To enhance individual and cross-institutional capacity and collaborations, QEM will create and facilitate a community of practice comprised of S-STEM workshop participants and require them to connect with each other and with QEM staff, consultants, and NSF program officers. The online platform will allow the project to offer additional support beyond the workshop including engaging in discussions related to S-STEM program priority-areas and providing relevant feedback. Project-related materials will be made available online to ensure broader dissemination of information that will be beneficial to participating institutions as well as other MSIs in relation to the S-STEM program.

少数民族（QEM）网络的质量教育将在2年和4年的少数民族服务机构（MSIS）上为STEM教师（MSIS）举办一项提案开发研讨会，以提高他们对国家科学基金会（NSF）在科学，技术，技术，工程和数学（S-STEM）方面的奖学金（NSF）奖学金中的竞争能力。 MSI在STEM学科中代表性不足的群体的学士学位接受者以及在STEM中获得高级学位的代表性不足的本科生的生产不成比例。 MSIS的S-STEM奖励将有助于MSIS开发和维持STEM专业的学生入学和入学。此外，确保教师和学生的竞争力将增强STEM教育和STEM劳动力的多样性，这反过来将有助于美国的全球竞争力。该研讨会将支持来自20个MSI的两人教师团队，该团队有兴趣制定竞争性S-STEM建议。参与者还将参加一系列工作后的个性化会议，以提供其他建议指导。研讨会内容和工作室后的技术援助将由具有STEM和STEM教育专业知识的顾问团队提供，包括NSF受赠人PIS和教育研究人员。为了增强个人和跨机构的能力和协作，QEM将创建和促进由S-STEM研讨会参与者组成的实践社区，并要求他们与彼此建立联系，并与QEM员工，顾问，NSF计划官员建立联系。在线平台将允许该项目在研讨会之外提供其他支持，包括参与与S-STEM计划优先级有关的讨论并提供相关的反馈。将在线提供与项目相关的材料，以确保更广泛地传播信息，这些信息对参与机构以及与S-STEM计划有关的其他MSI有益。
