Johnson C. Smith University, a minority-serving institution, will create a Shared Instrumentation Research Laboratory (SIRL) that will provide cutting edge equipment for chemistry and biology research. The new instrumentation will be located in the new 65,000-square foot Science Center on the campus in North Carolina. A certification program will ensure that faculty and students are masters in the use of the instrumentation.Researchers at the institution will provide outreach to high school teachers to teach and collaborate on research projects using the instrumentation. In addition, the STEM conference planned for 2014 will incorporate faculty and student research at the college and high school level. Incentives for new research ideas and collaborations are stimulated by the availability of mini-grant seed funding. Stakeholders from higher education, K-12, community colleges and the private sector will provide advisory assistance for continuous improvement of the project over the three-year duration of the project. Current research indicates that students who have hand-on exposure to instrumentation are better prepared for direct entry into continuing STEM graduate studies or the STEM workforce. Both formative and summative evaluation will be conducted to inform research and practice on student achievement in STEM disciplines. Research questions to be examined from this project, for example, include whether student achievement in Analytical Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis changed as measured using the American Chemical Society (ACS) exams?

约翰逊·C·史密斯大学（Johnson C. Smith University）是一家少数派服务机构，将创建一个共享的仪器研究实验室（SIRL），该实验室将为化学和生物学研究提供最先进的设备。 新仪器将位于北卡罗来纳州校园的新的65,000平方英尺科学中心。 认证计划将确保教师和学生是仪器使用的硕士学位。 此外，计划于2014年举行的STEM会议将在学院和高中阶段纳入教职员工研究。 新研究思想和合作的激励措施受到了微型种子资金的可用性。 高等教育，K-12，社区学院和私营部门的利益相关者将在该项目的三年期间不断改善项目。当前的研究表明，有手工接触仪器的学生为直接进入持续的STEM研究生研究或STEM劳动力做好了准备。 形成性和总结性评估都将进行，以告知STEM学科学生成就的研究和实践。 例如，可以从该项目中检查的研究问题包括使用美国化学学会（ACS）考试测量的分析化学和工具分析方面的学生成就？
