The primary purpose of the Evaluative Research and Capacity Building (ERCB) Delta project is to develop an interest and capacity for evaluative studies of critical STEM educational issues and problems among STEM faculty at five of the regional and historically black Mississippi Delta higher education institutions. Although these colleges and universities graduate most of the teachers and administrators working in Delta schools, with the exception of those trained in Phase I of this project, the faculties have not previously been involved in comprehensive evaluation of STEM educational policies and practices. The principal objective of this proposal (Phase II of the project) is to continue the work begun under the original project as a model to enhance the evaluation capacity of a selected group of faculty members, and the infrastructure ofinstitutions that serve the Mississippi Delta region. This entails developing faculty skills and institutional expertise in order to build sustained capacity to conduct evaluation and evaluation research on STEM and STEM-related issues.

评估性研究和能力建设 (ERCB) 三角洲项目的主要目的是培养密西西比三角洲地区五所历史上黑人高等教育机构的 STEM 教师对关键 STEM 教育问题和问题进行评估性研究的兴趣和能力。尽管这些学院和大学毕业了大部分在台达学校工作的教师和管理人员，但除本项目第一阶段培训的人员外，这些学院的教师此前从未参与过STEM教育政策和实践的全面评估。该提案（项目第二阶段）的主要目标是继续在原始项目下开始的工作作为模型，以增强选定的教员群体的评估能力以及服务于密西西比三角洲地区的机构的基础设施。这需要发展教师技能和机构专业知识，以建立对 STEM 和 STEM 相关问题进行评估和评估研究的持续能力。
