Conference: Growing Research Through Innovative Collaborations for Historically Black Colleges and Universities

该项目将通过为参与的传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）提供支持来扩大联邦资助领域的参与，以确定合作机构和资源，以补充其研究优势。此外，该项目将提供一种机制，利用在研讨会期间获得的知识使所有hbcu受益，因为他们寻求通过有影响力的关系增加研究经费。项目成果旨在导致更公平的研究经费分配，并为HBCU的研究人员提供更多的机会和能力，从而为研究事业做出有意义的贡献。该研讨会将为在hbcu建立可持续和有影响力的研究基础设施提出有效的战略，并为其种子和集思广益。该项目的目标是通过开发和实施创意实验室工作坊，解决阻碍hbcu进入研究领域的系统性障碍。创意实验室模式旨在支持复杂问题的创新和创造性解决方案的发展。此外，这种形式为参与者提供了支持、时间和空间，以在hbcu之间建立新的和扩大现有的合作，从而促进研究基础设施的可持续发展，并推动研究和创新。该项目将建立一个创意实验室，由来自公立和私立、两年制和四年制hbcu的30位领导人组成，以促进构思可能具有变革性的解决方案，以扩大其机构的研究基础设施和能力。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project will broaden participation in the federal funding landscape by providing support for participating Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to identify partner institutions and resources that complement their research strengths. Additionally, the project will provide a mechanism for utilizing knowledge gained during a workshop to benefit all HBCUs as they seek to grow research funding through impactful relationships. Project outcomes are intended to lead to a more equitable distribution of research funds and affordance of greater access and ability for HBCU researchers to meaningfully contribute to the research enterprise. The workshop will surface, seed, and brainstorm effective strategies for building sustainable and impactful research infrastructure at HBCUs. The goal of this project is to address systemic barriers to inclusion in the research landscape for HBCUs through the development and implementation of an Ideas Lab Workshop. The Ideas Lab format is designed to support the development of innovative and creative solutions to complex issues. Additionally, this format, affords participants support, time, and space to create new and expand existing collaborations among HBCUs that can lead to the sustainable growth of research infrastructure and drive research and innovation. This project will implement an Ideas Lab with 30 leaders from public and private, two-year and four-year HBCUs to to facilitate ideation of potentially transformative solutions for expanding research infrastructure and capacity at their institutions.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.
