Part 1Hosting its 91st Annual Conference with a theme "Preparing the Next Generation of Technical Leaders for the New Global Economy", the The National Technical Association (NTA)continues to be the voice for equal opportunity, access, diversity, inclusion and leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics matters and interests in the U.S. NTA partnering with the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Geosciences Working Group is an expression of its reach and insight to the untapped resources of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The workshop plans for 50 participants, including representatives of NSF and a broad cross-section of academic, federal and community stakeholders. The Broader impact of the workshop is to promote collaborative, interdisciplinary, culturally relevant and intergenerational perspectives that help build and sustain transformative STEM education and career pathways. It will also encourage a greater commitment to building opportunities for strategic university/community-based initiatives at the faculty, undergraduate and graduate levels. Finally, the workshop will strengthen HBCU networking capacity that will directly and indirectly promote inclusion and diversity across STEM/Geosciences.Part 2The proposed workshop seeks to continue the conversation on the NTA-HBCU Geosciences collaborative strategic action plan. This collaboration, between the community-based NTA and the campus-based HBCU Geoscience Working Group (HBCU GWG), is an untapped resource for broadening participation in STEM through a local, regional and national effort. This workshop will provide a forum to convene HBCU Geosciences and other STEM stakeholders to build on the recent 2018 Hampton University NTA-HBCU geosciences workshop and recommendations; facilitate collaborative efforts and establish a geoscience agenda that contributes to broadening participation; and formalize the HBCU Geosciences Action Plan and assign responsibilities with a timeline for execution.The objectives of the 2019 HBCU Geosciences workshop are to:- Share the progress and update on NSF Geopaths Grant Award: Expanding HBCU Pathways for Geoscience Education - Sue Ebanks, PI;- Share the research findings of the NSF InTeGrate Subaward: Impacts of InTeGrate Geoscience Modules on HBCU students - Richard Schulterbrandt Gragg, PI;- Identify, explore and discuss the collaborative role of NTA and HBCU-GWG in addressing and implementing the NSF?f 10 BIG IDEAS; and- Continue the conversation on the NTA-HBCU Geosciences Collaborative Strategic Action Plan.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.

Part 1Hosting its 91st Annual Conference with a theme "Preparing the Next Generation of Technical Leaders for the New Global Economy", the The National Technical Association (NTA)continues to be the voice for equal opportunity, access, diversity, inclusion and leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics matters and interests in the U.S. NTA partnering with the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Geosciences Working Group is an expression of its reach and insight to the历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的未开发资源。该研讨会计划为50名参与者，包括NSF的代表以及学术，联邦和社区利益相关者的广泛横截面。研讨会的更广泛的影响是促进合作，跨学科，具有文化相关和代际观点，以帮助建立和维持变革性的STEM教育和职业途径。它还将鼓励更大的承诺为在教职员工，本科和研究生级别的战略大学/社区举措建立机会。最后，研讨会将增强HBCU网络能力，该网络能力将直接和间接促进STEM/GEOSCIENCES的包容性和多样性。第2部分拟议的研讨会旨在继续就NTA-HBCU地球科学协作战略行动计划进行对话。基于社区的NTA和位于校园的HBCU地球科学工作组（HBCU GWG）之间的这种合作是通过本地，区域和国家的努力来扩大STEM参与的尚未开发的资源。该研讨会将提供一个论坛，以召集HBCU地球科学和其他STEM利益相关者，以建立在最近的2018年汉普顿大学NTA-HBCU地球科学家研讨会和建议的基础上；促进合作努力并建立有助于扩大参与的地球科学议程； and formalize the HBCU Geosciences Action Plan and assign responsibilities with a timeline for execution.The objectives of the 2019 HBCU Geosciences workshop are to:- Share the progress and update on NSF Geopaths Grant Award: Expanding HBCU Pathways for Geoscience Education - Sue Ebanks, PI;- Share the research findings of the NSF InTeGrate Subaward: Impacts of InTeGrate Geoscience Modules on HBCU学生 - Richard Schulterbrandt Gragg，pi; - 识别，探索和讨论NTA和HBCU-GWG在解决和实施NSF的协作角色；并继续就NTA-HBCU地球科学协作战略行动计划进行对话。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估标准通过评估来支持的。
