The University of Georgia, Florida International University, Savannah State University, Clark Atlanta University and Fort Valley State University will lead this Design and Development Launch Pilot to address enhancing recruitment, retention, productivity and satisfaction of historically underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduate students who enroll in STEM graduate programs at primarily white (PWI) and research intensive (RI) universities. This project was created in response to the Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) program solicitation (NSF 16-544). The INCLUDES program is a comprehensive national initiative designed to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) discoveries and innovations focused on NSF's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and broadening participation in these fields. The INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilots represent bold, innovative ways for solving a broadening participation challenge in STEM. The full participation of all of America's STEM talent is critical to the advancement of science and engineering for national security, health and prosperity. Our nation is advancing knowledge and practices to address the STEM education practices for retaining and educating URM undergraduate STEM students at our nation's research intensive universities (RIs). This project, NSF INCLUDES: An Integrated Approach to Retain Underrepresented Minority Students in STEM Disciplines, has the potential to advance a collaborative approach by a group of organizations to improve the success of URM undergraduates in STEM disciplines.The collaborating universities will work together for the purposes of empowering URM students to more effectively navigate STEM undergraduate and graduate education at minority serving institutions (MSIs) and PWIs, and for transforming the culture of PWIs and RIs. The team plans to use evidence-based approaches to gain insights into cultural differences that impact the success of URM STEM students. Three interventions will be included in the pilot study: (1) undergraduate URM student exchanges between MSIs and PWIs, (2) collaborative inquiry to engage URM students in social science research about issues and experiences of under-representation in STEM, and (3) the adaptation of resources from the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) to train STEM faculty to embrace diversity and improve teaching in diverse classroom settings. The project team plans to develop strategies to scale approaches and develop an alliance of institutions to maximize potential project outcomes.

佐治亚大学，佛罗里达大学，萨凡纳州立大学，克拉克亚特兰大大学和堡谷州立大学将领导这项设计和开发发射飞行员，以解决历史上代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）本科生的招聘，保留，生产力和满意度，这些学生在主要白色（PWI）和研究（PWI）和研究密集型（RI）和RI Incomentive（RI）中。 该项目的创建是为了响应整个工程和科学领域人数不足的发现者（NSF Incluber）计划招标的学习者的包容（NSF 16-544）。该计划是一项全面的国家倡议，旨在提高美国在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的发现和创新方面的领导，重点是NSF对多样性，包容性的承诺以及扩大参与这些领域的承诺。 其中包括设计和开发发射飞行员代表了解决STEM中扩大参与挑战的大胆，创新的方式。 美国所有STEM人才的全部参与对于在国家安全，健康和繁荣方面的发展至关重要。 我们的国家正在促进知识和实践，以解决在我们国家研究密集大学（RIS）中保留和教育URM本科生STEM学生的STEM教育实践。该项目NSF包括：一种综合方法，以保持代表性不足的少数族裔学生在STEM学科中，有可能提高一组组织的协作方法，以提高STEM学科中URM本科生的成功的协作方法。改变普威斯和RI的文化。 该团队计划使用基于证据的方法来了解影响URM STEM学生成功的文化差异。试点研究中将包括三项干预措施：（1）MSIS和PWIS之间的URM学生交流，（2）协作询问，使URM学生参与STEM中占代表性不足的问题和经验，以及（3）从研究，教学中心和学习中心进行各种培训中的资源适应的资源，以培训STEM和培训STEM培训（Cirt cirt coptlace in Driventer in Driventer in Drivente in Drivente cort in STEM），以培训STEM的培训。 项目团队计划制定策略来扩展方法并建立一个机构联盟，以最大程度地提高潜在的项目成果。
