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.

拟议中的项目将为在传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）扩大STEM教育研究参与的交流中心奠定基础。该信息交换所被设想为一个在线平台，将在初始阶段通过系统的文献回顾收集数据。研究者使用Vitae研究员发展框架来确定STEM教育研究技能差距，这将是全面专业发展的重点。专业发展领域包括知识和智力能力；个人效率;研究治理与组织；参与，影响和影响。目标将通过完成元分析研究设计和方法论的正式培训，获得数据库基础和数据分析方面的培训，并接受指导来实现。该项目将为研究人员提供奖学金，为hbcu提供有效的干预措施，并为未来的研究提供主题。该研究项目将通过回答以下两个研究问题，对美国国家科学基金会资助的HBCUs扩大参与干预措施进行meta分析：(1)哪些扩大参与研究干预措施有效，对谁有效？(2)在美国国家科学基金会资助的HBCU扩大参与干预措施中，项目特征与HBCU学生成功指标之间的平均校正相关性是什么？本研究设计为定量回顾性系统评价。这种设计选择的基本原理是研究人员的元分析研究的力量。这项研究将由专家导师指导，并以通过有组织的专业发展活动获得的专门知识为依据。从长远来看，该研究项目有望为研究人员提供可访问的经验数据，以便更广泛地参与STEM教育研究。该项目通过EHR核心研究建设STEM教育研究能力竞赛得到支持，该竞赛旨在培养个人在STEM学习和学习环境中开展高质量基础STEM教育研究的能力，扩大STEM领域的参与，以及STEM劳动力的发展。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
