Implementation Projects in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) provide support to design, implement, study, and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the numbers of students and the quality of their preparation by strengthening science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and research. This implementation project at Jackson State University (JSU) provides an innovative approach to broaden outcomes for STEM students. The project will explore the links between STEM faculty and student perceptions of talent and potential for STEM success through innovative assessment of practices and outcomes. The project focuses on linking evidence-based teaching and learning strategies with student outcomes and experiences to help assess and refine course activities in the Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Atmospheric Sciences.JSU’s ProjecTEST is designed to improve faculty implementation of pedagogy and mentoring strategies by establishing professional development opportunities and providing access to new assessment tools that extend faculty knowledge of race, culture, social, and historical factors that impact student interest and engagement in STEM fields. Faculty-student teams work together on assessment metrics to examine student experiences with course activities. The goal of the project is to improve the use of novel, fine-grained assessment tools, increase STEM learning outcomes, self-efficacy, and sense of belonging among STEM students, offer research opportunities that support the development of STEM workforce skills, and disseminate models of faculty and student engagement to a broader audience. An exploratory research project called Cave Scientia will examine the potential links between standardized assessments in admissions and placement and how those assessments impact faculty perceptions of their own standing and effectiveness in STEM and how they impact student perceptions of their potential to contribute and advance within a STEM discipline. This project promises to have wide-reaching broader impacts at the institution and larger HBCU community. The project is guided and informed by an on-going evaluation, as well as by internal and external advisory committees.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（HBCU -UP）中的实施项目为设计，实施，研究和评估全面的机构努力提供了支持，以通过加强科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教育和研究来增加学生人数及其准备质量。杰克逊州立大学（JSU）的实施项目为STEM学生提供了一种创新的方法来扩大结果。该项目将通过对实践和成果的创新评估来探讨STEM教师与学生对人才的认知和STEM成功潜力之间的联系。该项目着重于将基于证据的教学和学习策略与学生成果和经验联系起来，以帮助评估和完善化学，物理和大气科学系的课程活动。JSU的项目测试旨在改善教学法的实施，并通过建立专业发展的机会，并为领域的知识和历史界定研究，并在知识中促进新的评估工具，从而扩大了知识和社交，并为实地而进行了社交，和社交，并为实地提供了良好的评估。教师学生团队共同努力评估指标，以检查学生的课程活动经验。该项目的目的是改善新颖，细粒度的评估工具的使用，提高STEM学生中的STEM学习成果，自我效能感和归属感，提供支持STEM劳动力技能发展的研究机会，并传播教师和学生参与模型，并向更广泛的受众群体。一个名为Cave Scientia的探索性研究项目将研究入学和安置中标准化评估之间的潜在联系，以及这些评估如何影响教师对自己在STEM中的地位和有效性的看法，以及它们如何影响学生对他们在STEM学科中贡献和进步的潜力的看法。该项目有望在机构和更大的HBCU社区中产生更广泛的影响。该项目由持续的评估以及内部和外部咨询委员会的指导和告知。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值得支持。
