Conference: The Dr. George Carruthers Student Technical Research Symposium

历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科课程（HBCU-UP）旨在提高HBCUs的本科STEM教育和研究的质量，以扩大国家STEM劳动力的参与。 因此，HBCU-UP提供支持，以主要研究者谁致力于满足国家的STEM人才通过一些优先领域的加速需求，包括，支持HBCU本科生主修STEM进入STEM研究生课程和/或STEM劳动力的专业发展。 摩根州立大学，一所历史悠久的黑人学院/大学（HBCU）将与致力于扩大STEM参与的合作伙伴合作，在另一所HBCU的林肯大学举办学生技术研讨会。乔治卡拉瑟斯博士学生技术研究研讨会将与国家技术协会第93届年会一起举行，并支持60名HBCU学生的专业发展。 代表20个HBCU的学生将有机会展示他们的研究成果，与科学专家接触，并参加地球科学研讨会。 工作坊将着重培养学生在STEM方面的沟通技巧，为学生提供多元化的平台，让他们展示他们的研究成果，包括口头和海报交付，并为在不同形式的交付中表现出色的学生提供奖励。 最终，会议将影响学生的人口是历来在STEM领域，其中包括非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔/拉丁裔，和妇女代表不足。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities – Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) is designed to enhance the quality of both undergraduate STEM education and research at HBCUs to broaden participation in the nation's STEM workforce. As such, HBCU-UP provides support to principal investigators who are committed to meeting the nation's accelerating demands for STEM talent through a number of priority areas, including, supporting the professional development of HBCU undergraduates majoring in STEM for entry into the STEM graduate programs and/or the STEM workforce. Morgan State University, a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) will work with partners committed to broadening participation in STEM to host a Student Technical Symposium at Lincoln University, another HBCU.The Dr. George Carruthers Student Technical Research Symposium will be held in conjunction with the 93rd annual meeting of the National Technical Association and support the professional development of 60 HBCU students. The students, representing 20 HBCUs, will have the opportunity to present the results of their research, engage with scientific experts, and participate in a geosciences workshop. The workshop will emphasize the development of students’ communication skills in STEM by providing diverse platforms for students to present their research, including oral and poster delivery, and provide award incentives to students who excel in the diverse forms of delivery. Ultimately, the conference will impact students from populations that are historically underrepresented in STEM fields, which include African American, Hispanic/Latinx, and women.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
