The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program provides support for projects to design, implement, and assess strategies that can lead to 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 strengthening STEM education and research. The project at Kentucky State University seeks to broaden minority student involvement in STEM fields by implementing evidence-based teaching, learning, research, recruitment, retention, and professional development strategies. The overall goal is to significantly increase the retention and graduation rate of underrepresented minority students choosing career paths in STEM graduate programs and the workforce.This project supports the goal with activities to: develop a Summer Apprentice Program to prepare incoming students in mathematics; develop focused recruitment activities with high schools; provide a research experience for selected STEM sophomores; revise and develop critical STEM gatekeeper courses; integrate active learning activities in courses and provide a support system for students; and develop a faculty pedagogy development program. The activities and strategies are evidence-based and what is learned through this project can serve as a model for other institutions.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.

传统黑人学院和大学 - 本科项目为设计、实施和评估战略的项目提供支持，这些战略可以导致全面的机构努力，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 STEM 教育和研究来提高其准备质量。肯塔基州立大学的该项目旨在通过实施循证教学、学习、研究、招聘、保留和专业发展战略，扩大少数族裔学生对 STEM 领域的参与。总体目标是显着提高在 STEM 研究生项目和劳动力中选择职业道路的少数族裔学生的保留率和毕业率。该项目通过以下活动支持这一目标：制定暑期学徒计划，为即将入学的学生做好数学准备；与高中开展有针对性的招聘活动；为选定的 STEM 大二学生提供研究经验；修改和开发关键的 STEM 把关人课程；将主动学习活动融入课程中，为学生提供支持系统；并制定教师教学法发展计划。 这些活动和策略都是基于证据的，通过该项目学到的东西可以作为其他机构的典范。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。
