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

历史黑人学院和大学本科项目(HBCU-UP)通过有针对性的灌输项目，支持基于证据的创新模式和方法的开发、实施和研究，以改善HBCU本科学生的准备和成功，使他们可以攻读科学、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。该项目将导致智力意义上的政策分析和实际意义上的政策执行之间的相互关系。该项目的成果将是毕业生能够利用他们对政治学理论和实践的理解，结合地理空间数据和数据分析来解决现实世界的问题。该项目还将使我们的毕业生为研究生学习和就业做好更好的准备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
