The National Science Foundation (NSF) supported Historically Black Colleges and Universities-Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) Targeted Infusion Project at Bowie State University (BSU) lays the foundation for a concentration in the institution's plant science curriculum. Undergraduate students are introduced to interdisciplinary teaching and cross-disciplinary research to meet 21st century global challenges in sustainable energy, environmental and climate change as well as renewable and green energy research. The goals of the project at this minority-serving institution are to:1. Increase student interest, understanding, and research competencies in Plant Sciences through academic and summer faculty and peer-mentored research;2. Infuse an interdisciplinary approach to Plant Science;3. Create and implement a laboratory intensive Plant Science course;4. Enhance the General Biology and Plant Physiology laboratory course curricula by integrating research and introducing new experiments into the curriculum; and,5. Develop state-of-the-art teaching and research infrastructure in Plant Science laboratories through the acquisition of new research equipment.Collaboration with University of Maryland and other research organizations, acquisition of new research equipment, faculty and student STEM professional development will result in a sustainable plant science program for BSU and the surrounding community. Evaluation and dissemination activities will be shared throughout the institution's STEM community and broader through BSU's website, presentations at STEM research and education conferences and publications in STEM journals. The project aligns with the College of Arts and Sciences strategy of promoting the engagement of minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines through integrated and diversified experiences.

美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 支持鲍伊州立大学 (BSU) 历史悠久的黑人学院和大学本科计划 (HBCU-UP) 定向输注项目，为该机构专注于植物科学课程奠定了基础。 本科生将接受跨学科教学和跨学科研究，以应对21世纪可持续能源、环境和气候变化以及可再生能源和绿色能源研究方面的全球挑战。 这个为少数族裔服务的机构的项目目标是：1．通过学术和暑期教师以及同行指导的研究，提高学生对植物科学的兴趣、理解和研究能力；2。为植物科学注入跨学科方法；3．创建并实施实验室强化植物科学课程；4．通过整合研究并将新实验引入课程，加强普通生物学和植物生理学实验室课程；以及，5。通过购买新的研究设备，在植物科学实验室发展最先进的教学和研究基础设施。与马里兰大学和其他研究机构合作，购买新的研究设备，教师和学生的 STEM 专业发展将带来BSU 和周边社区的可持续植物科学计划。 评估和传播活动将在该机构的 STEM 社区内共享，并通过 BSU 网站、STEM 研究和教育会议上的演讲以及 STEM 期刊上的出版物进行更广泛的共享。该项目符合艺术与科学学院的战略，即通过综合和多元化的经验促进少数族裔参与科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科。
