Planning Grant: Advancing Diversity and Inclusion Through a Collaborative Model for Globalization of Higher Education at an HBCU Land-Grant Institution

历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科计划（HBCU-UP）提供支持进行机构自我分析，为扩大参与研究中心做准备。扩大参与研究中心有望成为严格研究和广泛传播批判性教学法和文化敏感干预措施的国家中心，这些方法有助于hbcu在教育非裔美国人STEM本科生方面取得成功。南方大学的这个项目旨在调查确定的促进因素，这些因素旨在通过全球研究参与来支持推进多样性和包容性，作为一种有前途的干预方法，有可能改变少数族裔学生的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教育文化。该项目旨在为STEM教学和学习的变革构建一个新的模式，在21世纪促进科学和社会福祉；加强研究知识库，以更好地了解影响STEM劳动力差异的潜在问题的多维性；并将研究、教育、外联和知识转移纳入一个综合学习生态系统，为STEM教育实践和干预措施提供信息。为了应对这一重大挑战，该项目的活动和策略旨在调查全球翻译在以下方面的可行性：创造可共享的知识；培养新一代的学者、实践者、创新者、企业家和领导者；积极影响STEM劳动力中不成比例的不同少数民族的纳入；为可持续发展中最紧迫的环境、经济和社会挑战制定切实可行的解决方案。该项目将以形成性评价和总结性评价为指导。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) provides support to undertake an institutional self-analysis in preparation for a Broadening Participation Research Center. Broadening Participation Research Centers are expected to serve as a national hub for the rigorous study and broad dissemination of the critical pedagogies and culturally sensitive interventions that contribute to the success of HBCUs in educating African American STEM undergraduates. The project at Southern University seeks to investigate identified contributory factors envisioned to support advancing diversity and inclusion through global research engagement as a promising interventional approach with the potential to change the culture of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education for underrepresented minority students.The project seeks to frame a new model for transformative STEM teaching and learning that advances science and societal well-being through the 21st century; enhance the research knowledge base to better understand the multidimensionality of underlying issues affecting STEM workforce disparities; and incorporate research, education, outreach, and knowledge transfer into an integrated learning ecosystem that will inform STEM education practices and interventions. To address this grand challenge, the project's activities and strategies are designed to investigate the viability of global translation in: creating shareable knowledge; educating a new generation of scholars, practitioners, innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders; positively impacting the inclusion of disproportionately represented diverse minorities in the STEM workforce; and developing practical solutions to the most pressing environmental, economic, and social challenges of sustainability. The project will be guided by formative and summative evaluation.
