The Historically Black Colleges and Universities – Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) provides support to undertake an institutional self-analysis and to design activities in preparation for a research center. The project at Coppin State University seeks to establish the Integrative Center for Emerging Contaminants (ICEC). The goal of the planning grant is to build the foundation for a center, envisioned to be funded by the Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program, to perform cutting-edge research in emerging contaminants (EC), which are derived from industry, agriculture, and biotechnological and pharmaceutical sectors. Undergraduate students are actively involved in this project by participating in research. This project supports the goal of the CREST program to provide support to enhance the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research.Through this planning grant, the project will form at least three convergent research collaborations to strategically strengthen research capacity and articulate shared areas of excellence. The three interrelated subprojects are: identifying, characterizing and quantifying ECs; studying impacts of ECs on biological systems; and remediation of ECs. Specific planning activities include: conducting a writing workshop, conceptualizing and planning for development of a center, piloting research projects to assess student learning during undergraduate research experiences, and faculty development. The project will be guided by formative and summative evaluation. This project is jointly funded by the HBCU-UP and CREST programs.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.

历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 - 本科课程（HBCU-UP）提供了支持机构自我分析并设计活动为研究中心做准备的支持。科平州立大学的项目旨在建立新兴污染物综合中心（ICEC）。规划赠款的目的是为一个中心建立基础，该中心设想由科学技术卓越研究中心（CREST）计划资助，以在新兴污染物（EC）中进行尖端研究，这些研究源自工业，农业，生物技术和制药领域。本科生通过参与研究积极参与该项目。该项目支持CREST计划的目标，以提供支持，以通过建立有效整合教育和研究的中心来增强少数派服务机构的研究能力。通过这项计划赠款，该项目将至少形成三个融合的研究合作，以战略性地增强研究能力和表达共享的卓越领域。三个相互关联的主题项目是：识别，表征和量化EC；研究EC对生物系统的影响；并修复ECS。具体的计划活动包括：进行写作研讨会，概念化和计划中心的发展，试行研究项目，以评估本科研究经历期间的学生学习以及教师的发展。该项目将以形成性和总结性评估为指导。该项目由HBCU-UP和CREST计划共同资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估，被认为是珍贵的支持。
