Workshops to Broaden the Participation of HBCU STEM Faculty in NSF's Education Research-focused Programs

少数民族优质教育（QEM）网络的这个会议项目将协调和监督两个研讨会和一系列关于科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教育研究的网络研讨会，供历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的教师使用。讲习班将侧重于提高教师的能力，专注于准备提案，以严格研究和广泛传播关键的知识和文化敏感的干预措施，这些措施有助于HBCUs在教育非洲裔美国人STEM本科生方面取得成功。研讨会将涉及至少90名来自HBCU的STEM教师。研讨会前后活动的网络研讨会预计将涉及多达500名教师。 这项能力建设工作的关键将是重点了解当前的研究背景和对STEM教育机会竞争性参与的期望，例如国家科学基金会提供的扩大参与研究，EHR核心研究和教师早期职业发展计划的建议。 研讨会和网络研讨会将提供强化培训，帮助HBCU的教师充分参与并为国家STEM教育目标做出贡献。这与基金会通过创新和研究扩大STEM参与的战略方向一致。与项目有关的材料将在网上提供，以确保广泛传播信息。

This conference project at the Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network will coordinate and oversee two workshops and a series of webinars about research on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education for faculty from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Workshops will focus on enhancing the ability of faculty to focus on preparing proposals 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 workshops will involve a minimum of 90 STEM faculty from HBCUs. Webinars for pre and post workshop activities are expected to involve up to 500 faculty. Critical to this capacity-building effort will be a focus on understanding the current research context and expectations for competitive participation in STEM education opportunities, such as proposals for the Broadening Participation Research, EHR Core Research and Faculty Early Career Development programs offered by the National Science Foundation. Workshops and webinars will provide intensive training to help faculty from HBCUs to fully participate in and contribute to national STEM education goals. This aligns with the Foundation's strategic direction for broadening participation in STEM through innovation and research. Project-related materials will be made available online to ensure broad dissemination of information.
