The overall goal of the Huston-Tillotson College (HTC) planning project is to conduct self-assessments and external research that will result in the development of a full HBCU-UP implementation proposal. The full proposal will include a conceptual blueprint for an exemplary program that is complementary to the goals of the institution and responsive to the learning needs of a student population that is under represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) fields. The proposed planning grant will: (1) conduct a detailed evaluation of its STEM faculty, curriculum, students, and scientific infrastructure; (2) study and adopt the effective practices of institutions with exemplary STEM programs; (3) design professional development strategies that will improve the capabilities of STEM faculty and thereby increase student learning outcomes; and (4) develop cooperative agreements with research-intensive institutions as partners and collaborators. During the planning process, HTC will: (a) procure the services of a professional evaluator to conduct a STEM institutional assessment, (b) identify contingencies for unmet needs; (c) adapt the best-practices of partner and model institutions by performing site visits to other institutions; and (d) integrate the results into a cohesive and sustainable plan of action for the institution. Intellectual Merit The planning grant activities are based on a research and have objectives that are tied to the institutional strategic goals. The planning grant will evaluate all STEM programs to determine the best course of action to enhance the STEM programs for the institution. HTC is poised and committed to enhancing the STEM education that is offered to its students.Broader Impact The broader impact of the development of a full HBCU-UP implementation project on the STEM programs at HTC includes: 1) The development of a collegiate environment that attracts STEM majors, trains and retains them to graduation, and 2) The increase of the numbers of HTC students going into graduate programs or careers in STEM fields.

休斯顿-蒂洛森学院 (HTC) 规划项目的总体目标是进行自我评估和外部研究，从而制定完整的 HBCU-UP 实施提案。 完整的提案将包括一个示范性项目的概念蓝图，该项目与机构的目标相辅相成，并满足科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域代表性不足的学生群体的学习需求。 拟议的规划拨款将：（1）对其 STEM 师资、课程、学生和科学基础设施进行详细评估； （二）研究和采用具有示范性STEM项目的院校的有效做法； (3) 设计专业发展策略，提高 STEM 教师的能力，从而提高学生的学习成果； (4) 与研究密集型机构作为合作伙伴和合作者制定合作协议。在规划过程中，HTC 将：(a) 采购专业评估员的服务来进行 STEM 机构评估，(b) 确定未满足需求的意外情况； (c) 通过对其他机构进行实地考察，采用合作伙伴和示范机构的最佳做法； (d) 将结果纳入该机构的连贯且可持续的行动计划。 智力优势 规划资助活动以研究为基础，其目标与机构战略目标相关。 规划拨款将评估所有 STEM 项目，以确定加强该机构 STEM 项目的最佳行动方案。 HTC 已准备好并致力于加强向学生提供的 STEM 教育。 更广泛的影响 开发完整的 HBCU-UP 实施项目对 HTC STEM 项目的更广泛影响包括： 1) 建立一个大学环境，吸引 STEM 专业的学生，​​培养并留住他们直至毕业，以及 2) 进入 STEM 领域研究生课程或职业的 HTC 学生数量增加。
