Part 1The second Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Research Action Practice (RAP) Symposium will build on prior work to expand the influence of HBCUs on decision making with respect to national priorities for underrepresented students in STEM. Since 2018, The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network has actively participated in the NSF INCLUDES Program and has conducted original research on HBCU STEM production. Using collective impact as a paradigm to facilitate knowledge generation and synthesis across professional sectors, this symposium will advance innovative strategies to foster social change. QEM brings nearly 29 years of leadership in STEM initiatives and conferences with the HBCU community. This conference builds on research that uses organizational learning theory and focus group research to understand the process through which HBCUs acquire knowledge and translate knowledge into dynamic capabilities.Part 2The symposium will elevate research and institutional partnerships to advance STEM policy and decision making, and build collaborations with industry leaders, elected officials and decision makers. Giving research at HBCUs greater leverage to impact social change will contribute to national efforts to grow and diversify the STEM workforce. Though a small segment of our Nation's colleges, HBCUs disproportionately graduate African American STEM degree recipients. The conference's dissemination strategies will catalyze HBCU researchers and decision makers to collaborate to support the Nation's goal of a diversified STEM workforce. An expected outcome of the conference is a research-action-policy plan that will share what works in building a community of practice between HBCU researchers, social advocates and decision makers.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.

第二届国会黑人核心小组基金会的年度立法会议（ALC）历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）研究行动实践（RAP）研讨会将建立在以前的工作，以扩大HBCU对决策的影响力，就国家优先事项为代表性不足的学生在STEM。自2018年以来，少数民族优质教育（QEM）网络积极参与NSF INCLUDES计划，并对HBCU STEM生产进行了原创性研究。本次研讨会将利用集体影响作为促进跨专业部门知识生成和综合的范例，推进创新战略，促进社会变革。QEM带来了近29年的领导干倡议和会议与HBCU社区。本次会议的基础研究，使用组织学习理论和焦点小组研究，以了解通过HBCU获取知识，并将知识转化为动态能力的过程。第2部分研讨会将提升研究和机构合作伙伴关系，以推进STEM政策和决策，并建立与行业领导者，民选官员和决策者的合作。让HBCUs的研究发挥更大的作用来影响社会变革，将有助于国家努力发展STEM劳动力并使其多样化。虽然我们国家的大学的一小部分，HBCUs不成比例地毕业于非洲裔美国人STEM学位获得者。会议的传播战略将促进HBCU研究人员和决策者合作，以支持国家多元化STEM劳动力的目标。会议的预期成果是一项研究行动政策计划，该计划将分享HBCU研究人员，社会倡导者和决策者之间建立实践社区的工作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
