The proposed project will lay the foundation for a clearinghouse of broadening participation STEM education research at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The clearinghouse is envisioned as an online platform that will be populated with data collected through a systematic literature review during this initial phase. The investigator used the Vitae Researcher Development Framework to identify the STEM education research skills gaps that will be the focus of a comprehensive professional development. The professional development domains include knowledge and intellectual abilities; personal effectiveness; research governance and organization; and engagement, influence and impact. The goals will be accomplished by completing formalized training in meta-analysis research design and methodology, acquiring training in database foundations and data analytics, and receiving mentoring. The project will position the investigator to contribute scholarship that informs effective interventions at HBCUs and topics for future research. The research project will produce a meta-analysis of NSF-funded broadening participation interventions at HBCUs by answering two research questions: (1) What broadening participation research interventions work and for whom? and (2) What are the mean corrected correlations between program traits in NSF-funded HBCU broadening participation interventions and student success metrics at HBCUs? The research design is a quantitative retrospective systematic review. The rationale for this design selection is the power of meta-analytical studies for researchers. The research will be guided by expert mentors and informed by the expertise acquired through structured professional development activities. The research project, in the long term, is expected to provide accessible empirical data for investigators to conduct robust broadening participation in STEM education research studies. The project is supported through the EHR Core Research Building Capacity in STEM Education Research competition that is designed to build individuals' capacity to carry out high quality fundamental STEM education research in STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM fields, and STEM workforce development.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.

拟议的项目将为扩大历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCUS）扩大参与STEM教育研究的交换所奠定基础。交换所设想为一个在线平台，该平台将在此初始阶段通过系统文献审查收集的数据填充。研究人员使用VITAE研究人员开发框架来确定STEM教育研究技能差距，这将成为全面专业发展的重点。专业发展领域包括知识和智力能力；个人有效性；研究治理和组织；以及参与，影响和影响。该目标将通过完成荟萃分析研究设计和方法论，获取数据库基础和数据分析的培训以及接受指导来实现。 该项目将向研究人员定位，贡献奖学金，该奖学金为HBCUS和主题的有效干预提供了奖励。该研究项目将通过回答两个研究问题，对NSF资助的扩大参与干预措施进行荟萃分析：（1）什么扩大参与研究干预措施有效以及为谁起作用？ （2）在NSF资助的HBCU扩大参与干预措施和HBCUS学生成功指标中，计划特征之间的平均校正性相关性是什么？ 研究设计是定量回顾性系统评价。这种设计选择的理由是研究人员的荟萃分析研究的力量。这项研究将由专家指导者指导，并通过结构化的专业发展活动获得的专业知识来告知。从长远来看，该研究项目有望提供可访问的经验数据，以供研究人员进行强大的扩展参与STEM教育研究。该项目是通过STEM教育研究竞赛中的EHR核心研究建设能力来支持该项目的，该研究旨在建立个人在STEM学习和学习环境中进行高质量的STEM教育研究，扩大对STEM领域的参与以及STEM劳动力发展的能力。该奖项反映了NSF的立法使命，并被认为是通过基金会的智力效果和广泛的评估来评估的，并值得通过评估来进行评估。
