The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network has received support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to offer a proposal development workshop for 50 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) faculty from Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) who intend to submit proposals to the NSF's Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program. The project's overall goal is to increase the number of MRI awards to MSIs. Intellectual Merit: Achieving the project's overall goal will provide STEM faculty at MSIs with state-of-the art instrumentation with which to conduct research that will lead to new knowledge and applications. As a result, this group of grantees can increase their scholarly productivity; integrate their research findings into the courses they teach; and provide their students with hands-on experiences using the acquired or developed instrumentation. Broader Impacts: Increasing the participation of MSIs in the MRI Program will enrich the education program and research opportunities at institutions that play a major role in the production of minority STEM baccalaureate degree recipients and that disproportionately produce minority graduates who earn STEM doctoral degrees. MRI-supported instrumentation at these institutions will improve students' access to a high quality STEM education provided by faculty actively engaged in research and will better prepare them to successfully pursue STEM graduate degrees or join the Nation's STEM workforce. Instrumentation, obtained through MRI awards, will significantly enhance STEM education at these institutions through expanded undergraduate and graduate research opportunities and increased faculty scholarly productivity.

少数民族（QEM）网络的质量教育已获得国家科学基金会（NSF）的支持，为50个科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的提案开发研讨会提供了少数民族服务机构（MSIS）的教职员工，他们打算向NSF的主要研究仪器（MRI）提交建议。该项目的总体目标是增加MSIS的MRI奖项。智力优点：实现该项目的总体目标将为MSIS的STEM教师提供最先进的工具，以进行研究，从而导致新的知识和应用。结果，这组受赠人可以提高他们的学术生产力。将他们的研究结果纳入他们教授的课程；并使用获得或开发的仪器为学生提供动手体验。更广泛的影响：增加MSI在MRI计划中的参与将使教育计划和研究机会在机构中发挥重要作用，这些机构在少数STEM STEM Babcalaureate学位接受者中发挥了重要作用，并且不成比例地培养获得STEM博士学位的少数群体毕业生。这些机构的MRI支持的仪器将改善学生积极从事研究的教师提供的高质量STEM教育的访问，并将更好地准备他们成功地攻读STEM研究生学位或加入该国的STEM劳动力。通过MRI奖获得的仪器将通过扩大的本科和研究生研究机会，并提高教师学术生产力，从而大大增强这些机构的STEM教育。
