The 3nd National Symposium to Build Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCUs) Research Capacity through Collaborative Partnerships with STEM Advocates and Policymakers

第三届HBCU RAP专题讨论会将建立在两年的少数民族优质教育（QEM）评估经验的基础上，旨在扩大HBCU对STEM政策的影响，涉及STEM中代表性不足的学生的国家优先事项。今年，PI提出了一项为期一年的战略，以扩大HBCUs的科学创新，作为改善非裔美国人社会，教育，健康和经济地位的催化剂。PI将使用NSF的“大创意”的选择组件来指导实践社区和论坛和研讨会的主题，包括：人类技术前沿的未来工作;不断增长的融合研究;利用数据革命;和NSF INCLUDES。QEM为HBCU社区带来了30年的STEM倡议和会议领导地位。该系列建立在使用组织学习理论和焦点小组研究的研究基础上，以了解HBCU获取知识并将知识转化为动态能力的过程。少数民族优质教育（QEM）网络要求一年的支持，与2020年国会黑人核心小组基金会（CBCF），第49届年度立法会议，2020年9月至10月。这个为期一年的项目有三个主要目标：（1）加强HBCU研究人员之间的实践社区，他们致力于推进一个独立和集体的研究议程，积极改变黑人的生活;（2）为HBCU研究人员和行政领导提供必要的信息和资源，以在他们的机构发展强大的，转化的前沿研究;和（3）战略定位HBCUs，使国家一级的影响黑人社区的科学问题的印记。在2020 - 2021年，QEM将利用前两年吸取的经验教训，在COVID-19大流行的背景和困惑下，为HBCU研究人员在实践社区内制定为期一年的活动议程。HBCUs对这个国家具有战略重要性，因为它们在推动美国社会的科学创新和黑人社会经济进步方面发挥了突出作用。HBCU的研究人员通过科学提供国家思想领导是一个国家的当务之急。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。

The third HBCU RAP Symposia will build on 2 years of the Quality Education for Minorities' (QEM) evaluated experiences aimed at expanding the influence of HBCUs on STEM policy, with respect to national priorities for underrepresented students in STEM. This year, PIs propose a year-long strategy to amplify scientific innovation at HBCUs as a catalyst for improving the social, educational, health and economic status of African Americans. The PIs will use select components of NSF’s “Big Ideas” to guide the community of practice and topics for forums and workshops including: Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier; Growing Convergence Research; Harnessing the Data Revolution; and NSF INCLUDES. QEM brings 30 years of leadership in STEM initiatives and conferences with the HBCU community. This series 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.The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network requests one year of support to host a virtual workshop in conjunction with the 2020 Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF), 49th Annual Legislative Conference, September – October 2020. The year-long project has 3 primary goals: (1) To fortify a community of practice among HBCU researchers who are dedicated to advancing an independent and collective research agenda that positively changes the lives of Black people; (2) To provide HBCU researchers and executive leadership with the information and resources necessary to develop robust, translational cutting edge research at their institutions; and (3) To strategically position HBCUs to make a national-level imprint on scientific issues that impact the Black community. In 2020 - 2021, QEM will use the lessons learned over the prior two years to set a one-year agenda of activities for HBCU researchers within a community of practice, within the context and confounds of the COVID-19 pandemic. HBCUs have a strategic importance to this nation, because they have played a prominent role in advancing scientific innovation and Black social and economic progress in American society. HBCU-based researchers providing national thought leadership through the sciences is a national imperative.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.
