Target Infusion Project: Geospatial Data Systems-Policy Analysis Curriculum Enhancement Project (GDS-PACE)

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目支持开发，实施和研究以证据为基础的创新模式和方法，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）研究生课程和/或职业。该项目旨在将地理空间系统和数据分析融入克拉克亚特兰大大学的政治学本科教育和研究中。该项目的目标是在政治学课程中开发和实施新的本科地理空间研究课程，将地理空间数据系统和/或数据分析模块纳入现有的政治学课程，并通过教师指导的本科生研究项目增加地理空间研究和数据分析。该项目将导致在理论意义上的政策分析与实际的政策执行之间建立相互关系。该项目的成果将是能够利用他们对政治学理论和实践的理解以及地理空间数据和数据分析来解决现实问题的毕业生。这个项目也将更好地为我们的毕业生做好准备，为研究生学习和劳动力。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based, innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) graduate programs and/or careers. This project seeks to infuse geospatial systems and data analytics into political science undergraduate education and research at Clark Atlanta University.The goal of this project is to develop and implement new undergraduate geospatial research courses in the political science curriculum, incorporate geospatial data systems and/or data analytics modules in currently existing political science courses, and increase geospatial research and data analytics through faculty-mentored undergraduate research projects. The project will lead to a mutual relationship between policy analyses in an intellectual sense and policy implementation in practical terms. The outcome of this project will be graduates that can solve real-world problems utilizing their understanding of political science theory and practice coupled with geospatial data and data analytics. This project will also better prepare our graduates for graduate study and the workforce.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.
