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 national hubs 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. This project is a collaborative effort between the initial members of an education research consortium: Tennessee State University, Prairie View A&M University, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The consortium of schools and team of researchers will work to plan research activities that will lead to the formation of a research center that delineates which individual factors, environmental factors, institutional practices, procedures, and policies are most effective in ensuring that students successfully complete STEM degrees at HBCUs. Activities of this project include: implementating a strategic planning framework built upon the broadening participation education research expertise of the collaborating institutions involved in the development of an expanded education research consortium of HBCUs; using evidence-based strategies to generate a high-quality plan for the research thrusts and research methodologies of the resulting center; and addressing the gap in the literature regarding STEM education research results, practices and policies pertinent to student persistence and graduation at HBCUs. The project will be guided by an on-going evaluation and 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。该项目是教育研究联盟初始成员之间的合作成果：田纳西州立大学、Prairie View A&M 大学、摩根州立大学、北卡罗来纳州 A&T 州立大学以及弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学。学校联盟和研究人员团队将努力规划研究活动，从而组建一个研究中心，确定哪些个人因素、环境因素、机构实践、程序和政策最有效地确保学生成功完成 STEM HBCU 的学位。该项目的活动包括： 实施战略规划框架，该框架建立在参与扩大 HBCU 教育研究联盟发展的合作机构扩大参与教育研究专业知识的基础上；使用基于证据的策略为最终中心的研究重点和研究方法制定高质量的计划；解决与 HBCU 学生坚持和毕业相关的 STEM 教育研究成果、实践和政策方面的文献空白。该项目将由持续评估和外部咨询委员会指导。
