The Fisk University Planning Grant will identify sustainable best-practices to increase student retention, learning success and career interest in STEM at the institution. The specific efforts to achieve this includes undertaking a self-study of it STEM undergraduate programs and research infrastructure using a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis, studying national models for undergraduate research, utilizing evidence-based results to develop and institutional plan. A STEM Knowledge Map will be developed to digital capture the content and objectives of all of the STEM courses and depict the relationships to each other. This tool will help in determining what alignments and modifications will be needed in the STEM programs following the self-study. The planning process will include a synthesis of current knowledge about virtual mentoring and plans will include creation of a virtual mentoring community for FISK STEM students. This self evaluation approach can serve as a model for similar other institutions to utilize in gaining understanding of their STEM programs strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities and how to integrate undergraduate research experiences throughout the curriculum..

菲斯克大学规划补助金将确定可持续的最佳实践，以提高该机构学生的保留率、学习成功率和对 STEM 的职业兴趣。实现这一目标的具体努力包括使用优势、劣势、机会和威胁 (SWOT) 分析对 STEM 本科课程和研究基础设施进行自学，研究本科生研究的国家模型，利用基于证据的结果来开发和机构计划。将开发 STEM 知识图，以数字化方式捕捉所有 STEM 课程的内容和目标，并描述彼此之间的关系。该工具将有助于确定自学后 STEM 课程需要进行哪些调整和修改。规划过程将包括综合有关虚拟辅导的当前知识，计划将包括为 FISK STEM 学生创建虚拟辅导社区。这种自我评估方法可以作为其他类似机构的模型，用于了解其 STEM 项目的优势、劣势和机会，以及如何将本科生研究经验整合到整个课程中。
