The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) funds conferences as a means of discussing and disseminating best practices in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education at HBCUs. The goal of the conference at Virginia State University is to review successful programs at selected HBCUs that help retain students from groups underrepresented in STEM majors with a focus on mathematics preparation. The conference allows for the sharing of information about student skill development programs and to discuss replication by other institutions.The programs to be reviewed at the conferences include: the K-12 Algebra Project pedagogy for college-level mathematics courses; Project Knowledge which focuses on building academic skills and motivation during the critical first three semesters of college; partnerships of HBCUs with local school districts; and interventions using cognitive skills training that improve the mathematics performance of African American college students. Specific aims are to: disseminate information on effective interventions for improving mathematics performance in African American STEM majors; provide opportunities for participants to share best practices that are having an impact at HBCUs; and provide networking opportunities for future faculty training in these interventions so that they can be applied at other institutions. The project is informed by an on-going evaluation.

历史上黑人学院和大学 - 本科生计划 (HBCU-UP) 资助会议，作为讨论和传播 HBCU 科学、技术、工程和数学教育最佳实践的一种手段。弗吉尼亚州立大学会议的目标是审查选定的 HBCU 的成功项目，这些项目有助于留住 STEM 专业中代表性不足的群体的学生，重点是数学准备。会议允许分享有关学生技能发展计划的信息，并讨论其他机构的复制。会议将审查的计划包括：大学数学课程的 K-12 代数项目教学法； 项目知识，重点是在大学关键的前三个学期培养学术技能和动力； HBCU 与当地学区的伙伴关系；以及利用认知技能训练进行干预，提高非裔美国大学生的数学成绩。具体目标是： 传播有关提高非裔美国人 STEM 专业数学成绩的有效干预措施的信息；为参与者提供分享对 HBCU 产生影响的最佳实践的机会；并为未来这些干预措施的教师培训提供交流机会，以便它们可以应用于其他机构。该项目由正在进行的评估提供信息。
