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 science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) graduate programs and/or careers. The project at Jackson State University will enhance undergraduate education in the departments of computer science, emergency management technology, meteorology, and psychology so that students underrepresented in STEM, but particularly women students, are prepared to successfully enter graduate programs or careers in STEM, specifically in the areas emergency management and/or disaster preparedness. This project will reach into the community by hosting classes and outreach events that promote safety and preparedness in vulnerable areas. It will engage the community to provide the tools they need to remain safe before, during and after a natural disaster.The goals of the project are to: improve the retention and persistence of undergraduate underrepresented students, particularly women, in the fields of computer science, emergency management technology, meteorology and psychology through a deliberate mentoring program; increase students’ knowledge base, research skills, and awareness of emergency management and/or disaster preparedness by implementing a set evidence-based activities culminating in a research symposium; advance the STEM curriculum by creating a course on disaster preparedness and resilience; and establish a disaster preparedness and resilience teaching and research laboratory. The project is guided by an external evaluation team.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本科学生的准备和成功，使他们能够攻读科学、技术、工程或数学(STEM)研究生课程和/或职业。杰克逊州立大学的这个项目将加强计算机科学、应急管理技术、气象学和心理学系的本科教育，以便STEM中代表性不足的学生，特别是女学生，准备成功进入STEM的研究生课程或职业生涯，特别是在应急管理和/或灾害准备领域。该项目将通过举办班级和外展活动深入社区，促进脆弱地区的安全和防备。它将促使社区提供他们在自然灾害发生前、期间和之后保持安全所需的工具。该项目的目标是：通过深思熟虑的指导计划，提高计算机科学、应急管理技术、气象学和心理学领域中任职人数不足的本科生，特别是女性学生的留存率和持久性；通过实施一套循证活动，提高学生的知识库、研究技能和应急管理和/或灾害准备的意识；通过开设备灾和复原力课程，推进STEM课程；建立备灾和复原力教学和研究实验室。该项目由外部评估小组指导。该奖项反映了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。
