Workshops for Improving Grant Writing Competitiveness for Faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities

该奖项授予少数民族素质教育（QEM）网络，将为传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和其他少数民族服务机构（msi）的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教师提供技术援助，以促进成功参与NSF hbcu本科项目和NSF主要研究仪器（MRI）项目。将为来自HBCUs的教师举办五场研讨会；其中三个研讨会将包括来自其他管理学院的教员。研讨会将着重于提高教师为NSF HBCU-UP和MRI项目准备竞争性提案的能力。经验丰富的顾问将协助QEM进行系列研讨会。研讨会将包括来自hbcu的至少160名STEM教师和来自其他msi的90名STEM教师，为各机构寻求并成功获得HBCU-UP实施项目、定向注入项目、扩大参与研究项目、研究启动奖项目和NSF MRI项目的支持提供坚实的基础。预期的结果是，管理学院的教师加强其研究组合并改善其在这些机构的研究基础设施的潜力增加。更长远、更广泛的影响是培养美国下一代高素质、多样化的STEM教育工作者和研究人员。

This award to the Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network will provide technical assistance to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) to facilitate successful participation in the NSF HBCU-Undergraduate Program and the NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program. Five workshops will be held for faculty from HBCUs; three of these workshops will include faculty from other MSIs. Workshops will focus on enhancing the ability of faculty to prepare competitive proposals to the NSF HBCU-UP and MRI programs. Experienced consultants will assist QEM in the conduct of the workshop series.The workshops will involve a minimum of 160 STEM faculty from HBCUs and 90 STEM faculty from other MSIs to provide a strong foundation for institutions to pursue and successfully receive support for HBCU-UP implementation projects, targeted infusion projects, broadening participation research projects, research initiation award projects, and NSF MRI projects. The anticipated outcome is the increased potential for faculty from MSIs to strengthen their research portfolio and improve their research infrastructure at these institutions. The longer term broader impact is the production of the Nation's next generation of highly qualified and diverse STEM educators and researchers.
