The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) provides support to undertake an institutional self-analysis in preparation for a Broadening Participation Research Center. Broadening Participation Research Centers are expected to serve as a national hub for the rigorous study and broad dissemination of the critical pedagogies and culturally sensitive interventions that contribute to the success of HBCUs in educating African American STEM undergraduates. The project at Morehouse College seeks to plan the essential research questions, experimental designs and programmatic activities for creating a large-scale STEM broadening participation research innovation center designed to research "how HBCUs can best understand and activate the particular brand of genius within a given student."The goal of the project is to employ this asset-based approach in partnership with HBCUs, industry, and nonprofit organizations to plan a research center that will in part utilize STEM innovation as a tool for student empowerment. Activities of the project include: networking with other HBCUs and forming partnerships with Morehouse College; soliciting involvement from innovation centers, industry and non-profit organizations; developing well defined research questions and experiments; planning a dissemination program to include a comprehensive web portal, workshops, faculty sabbaticals, summer internships for students and faculty, conferences and possibly a journal. The project will be guided by an external advisory committee.

历史上黑人学院和大学 - 本科生计划 (HBCU-UP) 提供支持进行机构自我分析，为扩大参与研究中心做准备。 扩大参与研究中心预计将成为严格研究和广泛传播批判性教学法和文化敏感干预措施的国家中心，这有助于 HBCU 在教育非裔美国 STEM 本科生方面取得成功。莫尔豪斯学院的该项目旨在规划基本的研究问题、实验设计和规划活动，以创建一个大规模的 STEM 扩大参与研究创新中心，旨在研究“HBCU 如何最好地理解和激活特定学生的特定天才品牌” “该项目的目标是与 HBCU、行业和非营利组织合作，采用这种基于资产的方法来规划一个研究中心，该中心将部分利用 STEM 创新作为学生赋权的工具。该项目的活动包括：与其他 HBCU 建立联系并与莫尔豪斯学院建立合作伙伴关系；征求创新中心、行业和非营利组织的参与；制定明确的研究问题和实验；规划一个传播计划，包括综合门户网站、研讨会、教师休假、学生和教师暑期实习、会议以及可能的期刊。该项目将由外部咨询委员会指导。
