Implementation Projects provide support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities to design, implement, study, and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the number of students receiving undergraduate degrees in STEM and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. The award to Harris Stowe State University seeks to build on previous successful efforts to increase participation of African-American students in STEM disciplines, including STEM Teacher Education. The institution seeks to provide students with the academic preparation, as well as analytical and technical competencies they will need to succeed in graduate school or STEM careers. The project has three specific objectives that tie in to the overarching goal: 1) to increase the recruitment and enrollment of first-year and transfer STEM majors; 2) to increase the retention and graduation of STEM majors; and 3) to increase student engagement through faculty development opportunities. A set of evidence-based strategies and interventions has been designed to achieve these objectives. Through the evaluation plan the project will address the question: "To what extent can academic and social integration interventions impact student retention, student success, student engagement and graduation in STEM disciplines, particularly at a small Historically Black University?"

实施项目为历史悠久的黑人学院和大学提供支持，以设计、实施、研究和评估全面的机构努力，以增加获得 STEM 本科学位的学生数量，并通过加强 STEM 教育和研究来提高其准备质量。授予哈里斯斯托州立大学的奖项旨在以之前的成功努力为基础，提高非裔美国学生对 STEM 学科（包括 STEM 教师教育）的参与度。该机构致力于为学生提供在研究生院或 STEM 职业生涯中取得成功所需的学术准备以及分析和技术能力。该项目有三个与总体目标相关的具体目标：1）增加一年级和转学 STEM 专业的招生和入学； 2）增加STEM专业的保留和毕业； 3) 通过教师发展机会提高学生的参与度。为了实现这些目标，我们设计了一套基于证据的策略和干预措施。通过评估计划，该项目将解决以下问题：“学术和社会融合干预措施可以在多大程度上影响 STEM 学科的学生保留率、学生成功、学生参与度和毕业，特别是在一所小型传统黑人大学？”
