PROJECT KALEIDOSCOPE Facilities Modernization Seminars and Workshops for Planning and Proposal Writing

9400019 NARUM该奖项授予独立学院办公室，使一系列关于本科生科学设施的研讨会和讲习班成为可能。目标是：1)装备以本科为主的机构团队，为NSF和其他资助机构(公共和私人)的科学设施现代化项目准备有竞争力的提案；以及2)支持设施现代化的进程，以便加强这些校园本科生的科学、数学和工程课程。在联合黑人大学基金的充分参与下，这一系列讲习班和研讨会还力求纳入历史上黑人学院和大学的需求，从而关注科学劳动力多样性问题。这个项目很重要，因为它试图将小型学院纳入重建其研究和研究培训基础设施的主流。这对这个国家意义重大，因为这些机构造就了很高比例的美国人，并最终成为我们的科学家和工程师。

9400019 Narum This award to the Independent Colleges Office makes possible a series of seminars and workshops on undergraduate science facilities. The goals are to: 1) equip institutional teams from predominantly undergraduate institutions to prepare competitive proposals to the NSF, and to other funding agencies, public and private, for their science facilities modernization projects; and 2) support the process of facilities modernization, so that the science, mathematics and engineering programs for undergraduate students on those campuses are strengthened. With full participation from the United Negro College Fund, this series of workshops and seminars also seeks to incorporate the needs of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, thus paying attention to scientific workforce diversity issues. This project is important since it seeks to include small colleges into the mainstream of rebuilding their research and research training infrastructure. This is of great significance to this country since these are the institutions from which a high percentage of Americans emerge and go on to become our scientists and engineers.
