This award to Jackson State University is supported by the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) and Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) programs. The project team will bring together members of the Carnegie Doctoral Universities High Research (R2) Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), experts in graduate education, graduate students, other HBCUs, and NSF program officers. Two workshops will be organized to address challenges related to increasing the number of STEM Ph.Ds. from underserved populations and providing support and training to investigators from the participating institutions to generate creative proposals for the NRT and IGE programs. The workshops are intended to provide information, understanding, and training on how new graduate models can be created to increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation of minority Ph.D. students. This project endeavors to develop strategies and critical recommendations that will address growing national concerns about the number of African Americans applying to Ph.D. programs in STEM. By promoting the close interaction of NSF program officers with a coalition of R2 HBCU graduate education stakeholders, the workshops are intended to increase interest in and awareness of the NRT and IGE programs and the number of proposals submitted by R2 HBCU institutions. The specific goals of the workshops are to 1) understand and investigate how to leverage relationships between R2 HBCU institutions and the NRT and IGE programs; 2) investigate current models and best practices between the coalition of R2 HBCUs that may support recruitment, retention, and positioning of Ph.D. STEM students into the U.S. workforce, and 3) provide proposal writing training to support the production of competitive proposals to the NRT and IGE programs to support these models. Additionally, this project will be a path forward to filling in the gaps in outreach to and communications with R2 HBCUs by the NSF, which can lead to greater diversity in the STEM fields. The model that results from this project can then be tested and applied to other NSF programs where R2 HBCUs are underrepresented in funding. The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training. The program is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas through comprehensive traineeship models that are innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs. The Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) program is focused on research in graduate education. The goals of IGE are to pilot, test, and validate innovative approaches to graduate education and to generate the knowledge required to move these approaches into the broader community.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.

这个奖项给杰克逊州立大学是由国家科学基金会研究培训（NRT）和研究生教育创新（IGE）计划的支持。该项目团队将汇集卡内基博士大学高级研究（R2）历史黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的成员，研究生教育专家，研究生，其他HBCU和NSF项目官员。 将组织两个研讨会，以应对与增加STEM博士数量有关的挑战。从服务不足的人群中获得支持，并为参与机构的研究人员提供支持和培训，为NRT和IGE计划提出创造性的建议。 这些研讨会旨在提供信息，理解和培训如何创建新的研究生模式，以增加少数民族博士的招聘，保留和毕业。学生 该项目致力于制定战略和关键建议，以解决越来越多的非裔美国人申请博士学位的数量的国家关注。在STEM的节目。通过促进NSF项目官员与R2 HBCU研究生教育利益相关者联盟的密切互动，研讨会旨在提高对NRT和IGE项目的兴趣和认识，以及R2 HBCU机构提交的提案数量。研讨会的具体目标是：1）了解和调查如何利用R2 HBCU机构与NRT和IGE计划之间的关系; 2）调查R2 HBCU联盟之间的当前模式和最佳实践，这些模式和最佳实践可能支持博士的招聘，保留和定位。STEM学生进入美国劳动力市场，3）提供提案写作培训，以支持NRT和IGE计划的竞争性提案的制作，以支持这些模型。此外，该项目将是填补NSF与R2 HBCU的外联和沟通差距的一条道路，这可能会导致STEM领域的多样性。 然后，可以对该项目产生的模型进行测试，并将其应用于其他NSF项目，其中R2 HBCU在资金中的代表性不足。 NSF研究培训（NRT）计划旨在鼓励为STEM研究生教育培训开发和实施大胆的，新的潜在变革模式。该计划致力于通过创新，循证，并与不断变化的劳动力和研究需求保持一致的综合培训模式，在高优先级的跨学科或融合研究领域对STEM研究生进行有效培训。研究生教育创新（IGE）计划的重点是研究生教育的研究。IGE的目标是试验、测试和验证研究生教育的创新方法，并产生将这些方法推广到更广泛的社区所需的知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
