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 so that they may pursue STEM graduate programs and/or careers. This project at Spelman College will transform the organic lab curriculum by providing a learning experience that fosters science identity in black women. This curriculum will provide guided inquiry experiments supplemented by culturally relevant activities and instructional materials to engage, motivate, and improve student outcomes related to identity development processes and academic performance. The overall goal of this project is to improve the academic performance of students while simultaneously empowering and affirming their role as scientists. The specific aims are to: 1) revise the first semester organic chemistry laboratory by developing and implementing guided inquiry modules that contain culturally relevant instructional materials, 2) characterize the impact of the modules on students beliefs about science, beliefs about their role as a scientist, their motivation to study chemistry, and their mastery of experimental techniques and concepts and 3) assess the implementation of the modules based on faculty and student feedback. The modules will be developed by a faculty working group consisting of organic chemistry and social science faculty. This project will impact over 350 students from Spelman College and the materials developed from the project will allow for adaptation beyond Spelman. The findings from this work will contribute to the understanding of diversity initiatives in STEM and serve as an inclusive curricular model to prepare women and minorities that go on to graduate school or the STEM workforce.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.

历史黑人学院和大学本科项目(HBCU-UP)通过有针对性的灌输项目，支持基于证据的创新模式和方法的开发、实施和研究，以改善HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们能够攻读STEM研究生课程和/或职业。斯佩尔曼学院的这个项目将通过提供一种培养黑人女性科学认同感的学习体验来改变有机实验室的课程。本课程将提供有指导的探究性实验，辅以与文化相关的活动和教学材料，以参与、激励和改善与身份发展过程和学业表现相关的学生结果。这个项目的总体目标是提高学生的学习成绩，同时赋予和肯定他们作为科学家的作用。其具体目标是：1)通过开发和实施包含文化相关教学材料的引导性提问模块来修订第一学期的有机化学实验室；2)表征模块对学生关于科学的信念、关于他们作为科学家的角色的信念、他们学习化学的动机以及他们对实验技术和概念的掌握的影响；以及3)根据教师和学生的反馈来评估模块的实施情况。这些模块将由一个由有机化学和社会科学学院组成的教师工作组开发。该项目将影响斯佩尔曼学院的350多名学生，从该项目开发的材料将允许超越斯佩尔曼的适应。这项工作的发现将有助于理解STEM的多样性倡议，并作为一个包容性课程模式，为继续进入研究生院或STEM劳动力的妇女和少数族裔做准备。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。
