This workshop will have three foci - pedagogy, student success and grant writing. This workshop will assist Historically Black College and University (HBCU) faculty in improving their research productivity by engaging in increased grant writing while continuing their mission to be effective advisors and educators. Increasing the number of underrepresented groups earning computer and information science and engineering degrees is critical to the nation's economic competitiveness. Minority-serving colleges and universities produce a disproportionate share of bachelor's degree graduates in computer and information science and engineering: HBCUs are only 3 percent of all 4-year colleges and universities, but awarded 11.4 percent of bachelor's degrees in computer and information science to African Americans. HBCU faculty are extremely important to the success of HBCU students in computer and information science. The investigators will leverage the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) Innovation Summit to introduce workshop attendees to current and emerging topics that can create more competitive proposal topics (and writing), impact pedagogy to improve student retention and generate the interest of institutional leaders who typically attend the annual event. A pre-and-post survey will be used to assess the effectiveness of the proposed work.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.

这个研讨会将有三个焦点-教学法，学生的成功和赠款写作。本次研讨会将协助历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU）教师在提高他们的研究生产力，通过参与增加赠款写作，同时继续他们的使命是有效的顾问和教育工作者。 增加获得计算机和信息科学与工程学位的代表性不足群体的数量对国家的经济竞争力至关重要。 少数民族服务的学院和大学在计算机和信息科学与工程学士学位毕业生中所占比例不成比例：HBCU仅占所有4年制学院和大学的3%，但授予非裔美国人11.4%的计算机和信息科学学士学位。HBCU教师对HBCU学生在计算机和信息科学方面的成功至关重要。 调查人员将利用UNCF（联合黑人学院基金）创新峰会向研讨会与会者介绍当前和新兴的主题，这些主题可以创建更具竞争力的提案主题（和写作），影响教学法以提高学生保留率，并产生通常参加年度活动的机构领导人的兴趣。 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。
