The Historically Black Colleges and Universities – Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) is designed to enhance the quality of both undergraduate STEM education and research at HBCUs to broaden participation in the nation's STEM workforce. As such, HBCU-UP provides support to principal investigators who are committed to meeting the nation's accelerating demands for STEM talent through a number of priority areas, including, supporting the professional development of HBCU undergraduates majoring in STEM for entry into the STEM graduate programs and/or the STEM workforce. Morgan State University, a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) will work with partners committed to broadening participation in STEM to host a Student Technical Symposium at Lincoln University, another HBCU.The Dr. George Carruthers Student Technical Research Symposium will be held in conjunction with the 93rd annual meeting of the National Technical Association and support the professional development of 60 HBCU students. The students, representing 20 HBCUs, will have the opportunity to present the results of their research, engage with scientific experts, and participate in a geosciences workshop. The workshop will emphasize the development of students’ communication skills in STEM by providing diverse platforms for students to present their research, including oral and poster delivery, and provide award incentives to students who excel in the diverse forms of delivery. Ultimately, the conference will impact students from populations that are historically underrepresented in STEM fields, which include African American, Hispanic/Latinx, and women.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.

历史上黑人学院和大学 - 本科项目 (HBCU-UP) 旨在提高 HBCU 本科 STEM 教育和研究的质量，以扩大对国家 STEM 劳动力的参与。 因此，HBCU-UP 为主要研究人员提供支持，他们致力于通过多个优先领域满足国家对 STEM 人才不断增长的需求，包括支持 HBCU 本科生的专业发展，以进入 STEM 研究生课程和/或 STEM 劳动力队伍。 摩根州立大学，一所历史悠久的黑人学院/大学 (HBCU) 将与致力于扩大 STEM 参与的合作伙伴合作，在另一所 HBCU 林肯大学举办学生技术研讨会。George Carruthers 博士学生技术研究研讨会将与国家技术协会第 93 届年会同时举行，并支持 60 名 HBCU 学生的专业发展。 代表 20 个 HBCU 的学生将有机会展示他们的研究成果、与科学专家交流并参加地球科学研讨会。 研讨会将强调学生在STEM方面的沟通技巧的发展，为学生提供多样化的平台来展示他们的研究成果，包括口头和海报展示，并对在各种展示形式中表现出色的学生提供奖励。 最终，这次会议将影响历史上 STEM 领域代表性不足的群体的学生，其中包括非裔美国人、西班牙裔/拉丁裔和女性。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
