Enhancing the Quality of NSF Proposals from Accredited Engineering Programs of Minority Serving Colleges and Universities

该项目正在为少数民族服务机构的教职人员举办两次讲习班。研讨会的目的是提高参与者的提案写作技巧，并使他们能够探索其机构之间的合作。在第一次研讨会上，与会者将参加旨在帮助他们制定竞争性提案的指导性调查活动。 第二个研讨会将2006年提案写作研讨会的与会者聚集在一起，使他们能够进一步探索和微调他们的提案概念。 来自历史上的黑人学院和大学，西班牙裔服务机构，美洲原住民服务机构和部落学院和大学的教师参加。 这些研讨会加强了NSF的努力，以建立一个更具包容性，知识渊博和全球参与的劳动力，充分反映了国家的多元化人口的力量。

This project is developing and offering two workshops to faculty members from minority serving institutions. The goals of the workshop are to enhance the proposal writing skills of the participants and to enable them to explore collaborations between their institutions. In the first workshop, attendees are participating in guided inquiry-based activities designed to assist them in developing competitive proposals. The second workshop is bringing attendees from a 2006 proposal writing workshop back together, enabling them to further explore and fine-tune their proposal concepts. Faculty from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Native American Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities are participating. These workshops enhance NSF's efforts to build a more inclusive, knowledgeable, and globally engaged workforce that fully reflects the strength of the Nation's diverse population.
