The Redshirt model is an alternative pathway for low-income, academically talented students, who want to pursue degrees and careers in engineering, computer science, science and mathematics, but need a stronger base of preparation. The model is based on Redshirt programs in athletics, in which a first year college student is given a year to prepare to compete at the university level. With evidence of the success of the Redshirt model in engineering across a set of research universities, this conference project will contribute to meeting the national need for engineers, computer scientists, and scientists by offering an opportunity to examine, implement, and investigate the implementation of the model at a broader array of institutions of higher education beyond research-intensive ones. The model also focuses on First-Time Full-Time students. The conference will engage participants in the development and planned implementation of the model at their institutions. Organizers will leverage the experience of the Redshirt project team in establishing and maintaining the comprehensive model at six research universities. The conference agenda is driven by best practices and includes sessions on collaboration; key components of the model; mastery of STEM basics; intrusive advising; community building; study skills; student personal and professional development; partnering with industry; fund-raising; sustainability; and evaluation. A robust mixed-methods evaluation complements the comprehensive activities that are planned. The selection of participants will be based on commitment to establishing a Redshirt program at their institutions and on fostering the Redshirt model at a diverse set of institution (e.g., types, size, location).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.

红衫军模式是低收入，学术天赋的学生，谁想要追求学位和职业生涯在工程，计算机科学，科学和数学，但需要一个更强大的准备基础的替代途径。该模式是基于红衫军在体育项目，其中一个一年级的大学生有一年的时间准备在大学水平的竞争。有了红衫军模型在一系列研究型大学的工程成功的证据，这个会议项目将有助于满足国家对工程师，计算机科学家和科学家的需求，提供一个机会来检查，实施和调查模型的实施在更广泛的研究密集型高等教育机构之外。该模式还侧重于第一次全日制学生。 会议将使与会者参与在各自机构制定和计划实施该模式。组织者将利用红衫军项目团队在六所研究型大学建立和维护综合模型的经验。会议议程由最佳实践驱动，包括关于合作的会议;模型的关键组成部分;掌握STEM基础知识;侵入式咨询;社区建设;学习技能;学生个人和专业发展;与行业合作;筹款;可持续性;和评估。 强有力的混合方法评估补充了计划的全面活动。 参与者的选择将基于在其机构建立红衫军计划的承诺，以及在不同机构（例如，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
