Building Excellence and Access through Research (BEAR)

切尼大学的实施项目名为“通过研究建立卓越和准入”（BEAR），其目标是增加科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学生的招聘、保留和毕业，并提高他们进入STEM研究生课程或STEM劳动力的录取率。这一目标将通过三个相互关联的活动来实现：课程开发和仪器，教师发展和学生发展。该项目基于以往HBCU-UP实施项目的经验教训、根据文献中描述的最佳做法改编的干预措施和战略、形成性和基于结果的评估结果，以及该大学的总体使命和优先事项。预期的项目成果包括：提高STEM学生的毕业率；STEM教师在教学和研究中更多地使用技术；加强与其他学术机构和行业伙伴的关系和伙伴关系；增加教师对研究、拨款写作和其他学术活动的参与；提高本科生科研经历的质量；越来越多的学生去读研究生。

Cheyney Universitys implementation project entitled - Building Excellence and Access through Research (BEAR) - has the goal to increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students, as well as increase their admission rate to STEM graduate programs or to the STEM workforce. This goal will be attained through three interrelated activities: curriculum development and instrumentation, faculty development, and student development. The project is based on the lessons learned from the previous HBCU-UP implementation project, interventions and strategies adapted from best practices described in the literature, formative and outcome-based evaluation results, and the overall mission and priorities of the University.The expected project outcomes include: increased STEM student graduation rates; increased use of technology in teaching and research by STEM faculty; strengthened relationships and partnerships with other academic institutions and industry partners; increased faculty participation in research, grant writing and other scholarly activities; enhanced quality of undergraduate research experiences; and increased numbers of students going to graduate school.
