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 STEM graduate programs and/or careers. This project at Harris-Stowe State University will develop a Biotechnology Certificate for STEM students that will provide a skill set which they may use to gain employment in the St. Louis Biotechnology environment. The proposed work intends to use CURES (Classroom Undergraduate Research Experiences) to achieve three aims. The first aim is to develop advanced laboratory courses to support a biotechnology certificate program. The second aim is to establish the biotechnology certificate at Harris-Stowe State University. The third aim is to provide CURES that will increase workplace readiness and opportunity placement for students. The implementation of CURES will assist students in developing critical thinking skills, project management and tolerance for ambiguity. The proposed implementation at Harris-Stowe State University will broaden the participation of underrepresented minorities in the STEM workforce. Students who successfully complete the program will be granted a biotechnology certificate that will provide them with a competitive advantage in pursuing STEM opportunities such as graduate school employment and internships.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.

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目支持开发，实施和基于证据的创新模式和方法的研究，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求STEM研究生课程和/或职业。哈里斯-斯托州立大学的这个项目将为STEM学生开发一个生物技术证书，为他们提供一套技能，他们可以用来在圣路易斯生物技术环境中获得就业机会。 拟议的工作打算使用CURES（课堂本科生研究经验），以实现三个目标。第一个目标是开发先进的实验室课程，以支持生物技术证书计划。第二个目标是在哈里斯-斯托州立大学设立生物技术证书。第三个目标是提供治愈方法，提高学生的工作准备和就业机会。CURES的实施将帮助学生发展批判性思维技能，项目管理和对模糊性的容忍度。哈里斯-斯托州立大学的拟议实施将扩大代表性不足的少数民族在STEM劳动力中的参与。成功完成该项目的学生将获得生物技术证书，这将为他们在追求STEM机会（如研究生院就业和实习）时提供竞争优势。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。
