The Geospatial Research, Innovative Teaching and Service (GRITS) Center at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) is formalizing partnerships with academia and businesses, with the goal of strengthening the capabilities of the geospatial undergraduate and graduate programs at NCCU and increasing research and practical training opportunities for NCCU students. The award will establish two summer graduate research internships, one at the Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science at the University of Georgia and one at the Center for Earthquake Research and Information at the University of Memphis. In addition, the GRITS Center will also create three summer internships for NCCU undergraduate students at the City of Durham Stormwater Division, and regional offices of the USDA Forest Service and the North Carolina Conservation Fund. This project seeks to address the major disparity that exists in terms of academic fields in which African Americans earn doctorate degrees (in Earth sciences in 2005 only two out of 379 Ph.D. degrees were obtained by African Americans) by strengthening the competitiveness of the instructional programs at Historically Black Colleges/Universities. This project directly impacts 8 students, but opens research avenues and professional opportunities for many more future geoscience majors at NCCU.

北卡罗莱纳中央大学 (NCCU) 地理空间研究、创新教学和服务 (GRITS) 中心正在与学术界和企业正式建立合作伙伴关系，目标是加强 NCCU 地理空间本科生和研究生课程的能力，并增加研究和实践培训NCCU 学生的机会。该奖项将设立两个暑期研究生研究实习机会，一个在佐治亚大学遥感和测绘科学中心，一个在孟菲斯大学地震研究和信息中心。此外，GRITS 中心还将为 NCCU 本科生在达勒姆市雨水司、美国农业部林务局和北卡罗来纳州保护基金的地区办事处创造三个暑期实习机会。 该项目旨在通过加强非裔美国人获得博士学位的学术领域的竞争力，解决非洲裔美国人获得博士学位的学术领域存在的重大差距（2005 年，地球科学领域的 379 个博士学位中，只有 2 个是非裔美国人获得的）。历史上黑人学院/大学的教学计划。该项目直接影响了 8 名学生，但为 NCCU 未来更多地球科学专业的学生开辟了研究途径和职业机会。
