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.

第一部分主办其第91届年会的主题是"为新的全球经济培养下一代技术领导者"，国家技术协会（NTA）继续为科学，技术，工程和数学问题和利益在美国NTA与历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）合作地球科学工作组是其影响力和洞察力的历史上黑人学院和大学的未开发资源的表达。该研讨会计划有50名与会者，包括NSF的代表以及学术界、联邦和社区利益相关者的广泛代表。研讨会的更广泛影响是促进协作，跨学科，文化相关和代际观点，帮助建立和维持变革性STEM教育和职业途径。它还将鼓励更大的承诺，在教师，本科生和研究生一级为战略性的大学/社区倡议创造机会。最后，研讨会将加强HBCU网络能力，直接和间接地促进STEM/地球科学的包容性和多样性。基于社区的NTA和基于校园的HBCU地球科学工作组（HBCU GWG）之间的这种合作是通过地方，区域和国家努力扩大STEM参与的未开发资源。本次研讨会将提供一个论坛，召集HBCU地球科学和其他STEM利益相关者，以最近的2018年汉普顿大学NTA-HBCU地球科学研讨会和建议为基础;促进合作努力，建立有助于扩大参与的地球科学议程;并正式制定HBCU地球科学行动计划，并分配执行时间轴的责任。2019年HBCU地球科学研讨会的目标是：-分享NSF Geopaths赠款奖的进展和更新：扩大HBCU的地球科学教育途径-苏Ebanks，PI;-分享NSF InTeGrate Subaward的研究成果：InTeGrate地球科学模块对HBCU学生的影响-理查德Schulterbrandt Gragg，PI;-确定，探索和讨论NTA和HBCU-GWG在解决和实施NSF？f 10大创意;继续讨论NTA-HBCU地球科学合作战略行动计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
