Implementation projects provide support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to design, implement, and assess strategies that can lead to comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the number of students receiving undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. The project at Fisk University seeks to establish the foundation for building STEM student success. The goal of the project is to prepare students to contribute in an enduring way to new knowledge as a result of more competitive preparation for graduate school and careers.Activities that are part of this project are: increasing students' deeper learning and successful transition to advanced courses by supplementary instruction into General Biology and College Algebra courses; increasing student confidence and competence in quantitative and computational approaches related to the biological sciences; and increasing enriched faculty-mentored undergraduate research opportunities across the STEM disciplines assured by intentional quantitative and computational integration into courses and faculty research collaborations. The activities and strategies are evidence-based and will inform further efforts by the institution to strengthen STEM undergraduate education.

实施项目为历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 提供支持，以设计、实施和评估战略，这些战略可以导致全面的机构努力，以增加获得科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 本科学位的学生数量，并增强通过加强 STEM 教育和研究来提高他们的准备质量。菲斯克大学的该项目旨在为 STEM 学生的成功奠定基础。该项目的目标是让学生做好准备，通过为研究生院和职业提供更具竞争力的准备，以持久的方式为新知识做出贡献。该项目的活动包括：提高学生的更深层次学习并成功过渡到高级课程普通生物学和大学代数课程的补充指导课程；提高学生对生物科学相关定量和计算方法的信心和能力；通过有意将定量和计算整合到课程和教师研究合作中，确保在 STEM 学科中增加更多丰富的教师指导的本科生研究机会。这些活动和策略是基于证据的，将为该机构加强 STEM 本科教育的进一步努力提供信息。
