项目摘要

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students in STEM graduate programs and/or careers. The project at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) will develop an integrated undergraduate education, training, and research initiative in behavioral genetics and engineering design by creating Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) in two courses: a sophomore elective and a junior required course. The infusion of cross-disciplinary CUREs into two biology courses, development of a cross-disciplinary summer research experience and the strengthening of the existing relationships with surrounding Research institutions will have a direct impact on students and faculty at NCCU. The project will facilitate student retention and motivate underrepresented minority students (URM) to pursue graduate studies and/or careers in STEM disciplines.The overall goal of the project is to educate, train, and provide cross-disciplinary research experiences to URM students at NCCU; thus, facilitating a successful undergraduate matriculation within STEM majors and into graduate programs at nearby Research-1 institutions (Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State University). The specific goals are: 1) to infuse real-world research experiences including engineering design challenges and measuring Drosophila Behaviours and relating these behaviors to Genetics (DaBuGs) through two CURE courses and 2) to have sophomore/junior-level research fellows participate in a cross-disciplinary, summer research experience tied to a research mentoring course with the primary goal of completing authentic research and design projects begun in the two CURE courses. The long-term goal is to create an integrated engineering and DaBuGs education, training, and research initiative at NCCU. This is expected to increase student performance and enthusiasm in STEM, and expose URM students to engineering design and behavioral research through the sophomore- and junior-level biology CUREs.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生计划（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目支持开发，实施和基于证据的创新模式和方法的研究，以提高HBCU本科生在STEM研究生课程和/或职业生涯的准备和成功。该项目在北卡罗来纳州中央大学（NCCU）将开发一个综合的本科教育，培训和研究计划，在行为遗传学和工程设计，通过创建基于课程的本科研究经验（CURE）在两门课程：大二选修课和初级必修课。将跨学科的CURE注入两门生物学课程，开发跨学科的夏季研究经验，以及加强与周边研究机构的现有关系，将对NCCU的学生和教师产生直接影响。该项目将促进学生保留和激励代表性不足的少数民族学生（URM）追求研究生学习和/或职业生涯在STEM学科。该项目的总体目标是教育，培训，并提供跨学科的研究经验，以URM学生在NCCU;因此，促进STEM专业的本科生成功入学，并进入附近的研究1机构的研究生课程（杜克，北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校和北卡罗来纳州立大学）。具体目标是：1）注入现实世界的研究经验，包括工程设计挑战和测量果蝇行为，并通过两个CURE课程将这些行为与遗传学（DaBuGs）联系起来，2）让大二/大三级别的研究员参加跨学科的夏季研究经验与研究指导课程联系在一起，主要目标是完成两个CURE课程中开始的真实研究和设计项目。长期目标是在NCCU创建一个集成的工程和DaBuGs教育，培训和研究计划。这将提高学生在STEM方面的表现和热情，并通过大二和大三生物学CURE让URM学生接触工程设计和行为研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
