Implementation Projects provide support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to design, implement, study, and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the number of students receiving undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthen education and research. The project at Clark Atlanta University seeks to build on previous successful efforts to increase participation of African-American students in STEM disciplines. The goal of the project is to provide students with cognitive and non-cognitive skills development and early undergraduate research immersion, while offering professional development opportunities to the faculty. The project will impact all STEM majors at the institution.The project will redesign and implement foundational STEM courses with adaptive learning courseware and supplemental instruction; conduct workshops for students on self-efficacy and growth mindset pedagogy; conduct faculty development workshops on mentoring undergraduate students, new teaching pedagogies, self-efficacy and growth mindset pedagogy; and provide STEM students with early research experiences. Faculty from the School of Education will assess which of these interventions or combination thereof are most effective. A research study will be conducted to investigate the effect of these interventions on student outcomes in STEM courses, as well as retention, persistence, and graduation rates. The project will be guided and evaluated by advisory boards and evaluators.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.

实施项目支持传统黑人学院和大学(HBCU)设计、实施、研究和评估全面的机构努力，以增加获得科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)本科学位的学生数量，并通过加强教育和研究提高他们的准备质量。克拉克亚特兰大大学的这个项目寻求在之前成功努力的基础上，增加非裔美国学生对STEM学科的参与。该项目的目标是为学生提供认知和非认知技能发展和本科早期研究沉浸，同时为教师提供专业发展机会。该项目将影响该学院所有STEM专业的学生。该项目将重新设计和实施STEM基础课程，使用适应性学习课件和补充教学；为学生举办关于自我效能和成长心态教学法的工作坊；举办关于指导本科生、新教学方法、自我效能和成长心态教学法的教师发展工作坊；以及为STEM学生提供早期研究经验。教育学院的教职员工将评估这些干预措施中的哪一种或它们的组合最有效。将进行一项研究，以调查这些干预措施对STEM课程的学生结果以及保留率、持久率和毕业率的影响。该项目将由顾问委员会和评估员指导和评估。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。
