项目摘要

The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network, in collaboration with the American Institutes for Research (AIR), is studying a model aligned with the successful graduation of undergraduate STEM students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who go on to earn doctoral degrees. The primary objective of this research is to advance understanding about the characteristics of HBCUs that enable STEM undergraduate students to thrive and prepare them to subsequently pursue and obtain doctoral degrees. It is also important to understand which student subsets, such as those who are historically underrepresented minorities (URM), succeed in HBCUs at the highest rates. As the nation addresses a STEM achievement gap between URM and non-URM undergraduate and graduate students, the number of students who are URMs and receiving undergraduate and advanced degrees in STEM is, by all accounts, disproportionately low. This is also true of students who are educated at our nation's HBCUs, with a select group of students that are successfully completing STEM undergraduate and doctoral degrees. In order to engage all U.S. citizens in our nation's effort to advance STEM education and the scientific enterprise, we must also understand what variables are enhancing the pathways for student success. This research project is helping to advance knowledge about these key mechanisms for STEM degree production. The research will be conducted using data from the U.S.'s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS); student survey; and student, faculty and administrator interviews.The researchers are working with an evaluator, who is implementing formative and summative evaluations. The project's advisory board includes experts who have knowledge about HBCU scholarship and who are familiar with current and relevant theory, methods and research. The board is providing feedback to the researchers and suggesting adjustments to the project's management, research implementation, and interpretation of the results and findings. For dissemination purposes, the QEM/AIR team is using a web site, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, and presenting at national professional research conferences. This research is supported by the Directorate for Education and Human Resources' (EHR) Core Research (ECR) program. The ECR program emphasizes fundamental STEM education research that generates foundational knowledge in the field. Investments are made in critical areas that are essential, broad and enduring: STEM learning and STEM learning environments, broadening participation in STEM, and STEM workforce development. The program supports the accumulation of robust evidence to inform efforts to understand, build theory to explain, and suggest intervention and innovations to address persistent challenges in STEM interest, education, learning and participation. Additional support is provided by EHR's Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), which enhances STEM education and research at HBCUs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

少数民族优质教育（QEM）网络与美国研究所（AIR）合作，正在研究一种与历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的本科STEM学生成功毕业相一致的模式，这些学生继续获得博士学位。这项研究的主要目标是促进对HBCU的特点，使干本科生茁壮成长，并准备他们随后追求和获得博士学位的理解。同样重要的是要了解哪些学生子集，如那些历史上代表性不足的少数民族（URM），在HBCU中成功率最高。随着国家解决URM和非URM本科生和研究生之间的STEM成绩差距，URM和获得STEM本科和高级学位的学生人数，从各方面来看，都不成比例地低。这也适用于在我们国家的HBCU接受教育的学生，其中一组学生成功完成了STEM本科和博士学位。为了让所有美国公民参与我们国家推进STEM教育和科学事业的努力，我们还必须了解哪些变量正在增强学生成功的途径。该研究项目有助于推进对STEM学位生产这些关键机制的了解。该研究将使用美国的数据进行的综合中学后教育数据系统（IPEDS）;学生调查;和学生，教师和管理人员的访谈。研究人员正在与评估，谁是实施形成性和总结性评估。该项目的顾问委员会包括专家谁拥有关于HBCU奖学金的知识，谁熟悉当前和相关的理论，方法和研究。董事会正在向研究人员提供反馈，并建议调整项目的管理，研究实施以及对结果和发现的解释。为了传播目的，质量监测/空气监测小组正在使用一个网站，在同行评审的期刊上发表文章，并在国家专业研究会议上发表报告。这项研究得到了教育和人力资源局（EHR）核心研究（ECR）计划的支持。ECR计划强调基础STEM教育研究，产生该领域的基础知识。投资是在关键领域是必不可少的，广泛的和持久的：干学习和干学习环境，扩大参与干，干劳动力发展。该计划支持积累强有力的证据，为理解，建立理论解释，并建议干预和创新，以解决STEM兴趣，教育，学习和参与方面的持续挑战提供信息。 EHR的历史黑人学院和大学-本科生项目（HBCU-UP）提供了额外的支持，该项目旨在加强HBCUs的STEM教育和研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
