The Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Research Action and Practice (RAP) Symposium will elevate research and institutional partnernships to advance STEM, and build collaborations with stakeholders, giving researchers at HBCUs greater leverage to contribute to national efforts that require STEM input. Though a small segment of our Nation's colleges, HBCUs disproportionately graduate African American STEM degree recipients. The conference's collaboration and dissemination strategies will catalyze HBCU researchers and stakeholders to support achievement of the Nation's goals of filling needed STEM expertise in the labor market and diversifying the STEM workforce. An expected outcome of the Symposium activities is an action plan that will share what works in building a community of practice between HBCU researchers and STEM stakeholders.As the U.S. faces a shortage of experts to fill projected STEM workforce needs, Historically Black Colleges and Universities are prime institutions to seriously be considered as a source of STEM expertise, especially for students and researchers that have been traditionally under-involved in STEM. The HBCU Research Action and Practice (RAP) Symposium seeks to highlight the capacity of HBCUs to increasingly contribute to the scientific research enterprise. The objectives of the HBCU RAP Symposium is to build the research capacity of HBCUs through: 1) hosting a workshop to increase the collaborative energy between HBCU researchers, administrators and a cross-section of stakeholders, and increase awareness of NSF's 300 programs to HBCUs, 2) convening a research forum to elevate and translate research led by HBCUs in a setting that strategically positions it to advance STEM action and practice and 3) building a community of practice to cultivate relationships so that HBCU researchers, administrators, and STEM supporters will develop collaborations to advance STEM research at HBCUs eventually increasing institutional research capacity.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（HBCU）研究行动和实践（RAP）研讨会将提升研究和机构合作伙伴关系，以推进STEM，并与利益相关者建立合作，使HBCU的研究人员能够更好地为需要STEM投入的国家努力做出贡献。虽然我们国家的大学的一小部分，HBCUs不成比例地毕业于非洲裔美国人STEM学位获得者。会议的合作和传播战略将促进HBCU研究人员和利益相关者支持实现国家在劳动力市场填补所需STEM专业知识和使STEM劳动力多样化的目标。研讨会活动的预期成果是一项行动计划，将分享HBCU研究人员和STEM利益相关者之间建立实践社区的工作。由于美国面临着填补预计STEM劳动力需求的专家短缺，历史上的黑人学院和大学是被认真考虑作为STEM专业知识来源的主要机构，特别是对于传统上参与STEM的学生和研究人员。HBCU研究行动和实践（RAP）研讨会旨在强调HBCU为科研事业做出越来越大贡献的能力。HBCU RAP研讨会的目标是通过以下方式建设HBCU的研究能力：1）举办一个研讨会，以增加HBCU研究人员，管理人员和利益相关者的跨部门之间的合作能量，并提高对NSF的300个HBCU计划的认识，（二）召开一个研究论坛，以提升和转化HBCU领导的研究，使其在战略上定位于推进STEM行动，实践和3）建立一个实践社区，以培养关系，使HBCU的研究人员，管理人员和STEM支持者将发展合作，以推进HBCU的STEM研究，最终提高机构的研究能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是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的支持。
