The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue STEM graduate programs and/or careers. Through this one-year pre-planning project, Norfolk State University will investigate factors associated with high failure rates in chemistry courses and obtain sufficient data to develop interventions to support the retention, progression and improved graduation rates of biology and chemistry majors.Chemistry courses tend to be a challenge for STEM students, particularly biology and chemistry majors. Poor performance in gatekeeper chemistry courses adversely affect retention and graduation rates, particularly for minority students. Through data collection and analysis on key data points such as math placement data for incoming students, pass/fail rates in chemistry and math and student progression data, the project aims to develop co-requisite remediation for gatekeeper courses. The project will also implement a Faculty Learning Community to promote curriculum transformations and provide faculty with pedagogical training.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.

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科课程（HBCU-UP）支持开发，实施和研究基于证据的创新模式和方法，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求STEM研究生课程和/或职业。通过这个为期一年的预先规划项目，诺福克州立大学将调查与化学课程高不及格率相关的因素，并获得足够的数据来制定干预措施，以支持生物和化学专业的学生的保留，进步和提高毕业率。化学课程往往是STEM学生的挑战，特别是生物和化学专业。守门化学课程的成绩不佳对保留率和毕业率产生不利影响，特别是对少数民族学生。通过对关键数据点的数据收集和分析，如入学学生的数学分班数据、化学和数学的及格/不及格率以及学生进展数据，该项目旨在为守门人课程开发共同必要的补救措施。该项目还将实施一个教师学习社区，以促进课程改革，并为教师提供教学培训。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
