This project will develop a community of practice among Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to facilitate proposal submissions to NSF. It will also prepare faculty at HBCUs to be more active in the proposal review process. If successful, this activity will serve as a model that can be expanded to other types of emerging research institutions. The project seeks to increase the submission of successful research proposals originating at HBCUs. It develops and implements a replicable model for technical assistance support for HBCU researchers and sponsored programs personnel at HBCUs that will strengthen research development and reviewing skills. The project will recruit two groups of people at each one of the HBCUs involved: one group focused on the development and submission of proposals and a second group that receives immersive training in proposal review. Amongst other training activities, participants in the project will be mentored in the process of proposal development and proposal submission and participate in mock review panels. An external assessment component will examine the impacts of the training. This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).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.

该项目将在历史悠久的黑人学院（HBCU）之间发展一个实践社区，以促进向NSF提交的提案。它还将为HBCUS的教师做好准备，以在提案审查过程中更加活跃。 如果成功的话，这项活动将作为一个可以扩展到其他类型的新兴研究机构的模型。 该项目旨在增加源自HBCUS的成功研究建议的提交。它为HBCU的HBCU研究人员和赞助计划人员开发了可复制的技术援助模型，以增强研究开发和审查技能。该项目将在涉及的HBCU中招募两组人：一组专注于提案的发展和提交，第二组接受提案审查中的沉浸式培训。在其他培训活动中，该项目的参与者将在提案开发和提案提交过程中进行指导，并参加模拟审查小组。 外部评估部分将检查培训的影响。 该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》的全部或部分资助的（公共法117-2）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
