Workshop to Promote Participation of HBCUs in Advanced Manufacturing Research Related to the Manufacturing USA Institutes; Alexandria, Virginia; June 19-21, 2019

这次研讨会将促进历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)参与美国制造业14个研究所的研究计划，这些计划由国防部、能源部和商务部、国家标准和技术研究所赞助。研讨会的目的是制定一项战略，以促进和维持HBCU的教职员工和学生与参与美国制造学院的教职员工、行业科学家和工程师之间强有力的研究和教育合作。为期2.5天的研讨会将汇集来自这些研究所和HBCU的高级人员，以支持国家科学基金会S的政策目标，即扩大所有人口和种族在科学和工程研究、创新和教育方面的参与。由此产生的先进制造业方面的教师合作预计将导致更多的研究和创新项目和产出，显著增加HBCU本科生和研究生的研究经验，并使更多的少数族裔学生进入先进制造业和其他科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)研究领域的顶尖研究型大学的研究生课程。研讨会将制定以下战略：(1)促进HBCU在先进制造方面增加基础研究、创新、技术开发和知识转让，(2)改善HBCU在先进制造方面的师资发展，3)增加HBCU研究人员与美国制造合作者提交合作建议的机会，4)提供获得研究所现有最先进制造设备和专业知识的途径，以及5)促进HBCU和美国制造研究所之间的信息和人员交流，包括研讨会、会议、这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This workshop will promote participation of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the research programs of the 14 Institutes of the Manufacturing USA, which are sponsored by the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology. The objective of the workshop is to formulate a strategy for promoting and sustaining robust research and educational collaborations between the faculty and students of the HBCUs and the faculty members and industry scientists and engineers participating in the Manufacturing USA Institutes.The 2.5-day workshop will bring together senior personnel from the Institutes and the HBCUs to support NSF?s policy goal of broadening the participation of all populations and ethnicities in science and engineering research, innovation and education. The resulting faculty collaborations in advanced manufacturing are expected to lead to increased research and innovation projects and output, significantly increased research experiences for both undergraduate and graduate students at the HBCUs, and the matriculation of more minority students in graduate programs at top research universities in advanced manufacturing and other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields of study. The workshop will formulate a strategy for: (1) catalyzing increased fundamental research, innovation, technology development, and knowledge transfer in advanced manufacturing at HBCUs, (2) improving HBCU faculty development in advanced manufacturing, 3) increasing opportunities for HBCU researchers to submit collaborative proposals with Manufacturing USA collaborators, 4) providing access to the state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and expertise available at the Institutes, and 5) facilitating information and personnel exchanges between the HBCUs and the Manufacturing USA Institutes, including seminars, conferences, and summer research experiences for the students and faculty of the 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.
