Conference: An HBCU Partnership to Enhance Research Support Services and Technical Training

该项目解决了更多的历史黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和其他少数民族服务机构（msi）参与联邦资助的研究的需求。外部资金的增加不仅有利于hbcu和msi，也有利于当地社区和社会。资助的研究计划有助于满足我们社区的需求，以及更广泛的社会在以下领域的需求：教育，医疗保健，技术，国土安全，社会福利，劳动力发展，农业可持续发展，以及许多其他领域。该项目进一步推进了美国国家科学基金会的使命，确定了可用于扩大和多样化参与研究活动的变革性思想和可访问的模型，加强了国家的研究事业。该项目的目标是制定一项战略计划，以提高HBCU和MSI机构的研究能力和资助能力。创新、探索和知识的进步由参与机构增加的外部资金所实现，这将是这一倡议的副产品。南方大学和农工学院（SUBR）， hbcu的国家赞助项目管理联盟（NSPAA）。公司和合作机构：新奥尔良南方大学、什里夫波特南方大学、格兰布林州立大学、迪拉德大学和泽维尔大学，将加入这一共同努力，找出障碍，分享最佳做法，并找到将对参与该项目的HBCUs的研究能力和资助能力产生重大影响的解决方案。该项目包括一个面对面的互动会议和两(2)个虚拟研讨会（一个会前和一个会后）。为这些会议计划的活动是根据所调查大学的确定需要和目前的研究结果。了解阻碍和阻碍HBCU和MSI竞争和管理联邦拨款的挑战和障碍，并确定这些问题的可衡量的、可持续的解决方案，将显著改变HBCU和MSI的研究潜力。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。

This project addresses the need for greater Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) participation in federally funded research. Increased external funding not only benefits the HBCUs and MSIs, but the local community and society as well. Grant-funded research initiatives contribute to the needs of our communities, and the broader society in such areas as: education, health care, technology, homeland security, social wellbeing, workforce development, agricultural sustainment, and numerous other areas. The project furthers the mission of NSF, identifying transformative ideas and accessible models that can be used to broaden and diversify participation in research activities, strengthening the Nation’s research enterprise.The goal of the project is to create a strategic plan to increase research capability and funding capacity at HBCU and MSI institutions. The innovations, explorations, and advancement of knowledge enabled by increased external funding at the participating institutions will be a byproduct of this initiative. Southern University and A&M College (SUBR), the National Sponsored Programs Administrators Alliance (NSPAA) of HBCUs. Inc. and partnering institutions: Southern University at New Orleans, Southern University at Shreveport, Grambling State University, Dillard University and Xavier University, will join in this common effort to identify barriers, share best practices, and find solutions that will significantly impact the research capability and funding capacity of the HBCUs participating in this project. The project includes one, in-person, interactive conference and two (2) virtual workshops (one pre-conference and one post-conference). Activities planned for these convenings are based on the identified needs of the universities surveyed and current research findings. Understanding the challenges and roadblocks that hinder and often prevent HBCUs and MSIs from competing for, and managing, federal grant awards and identifying measurable, sustainable solutions to these problems will significantly transform HBCU’s and MSI’s research potential.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.
