The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) has identified research in broadening participation in STEM as one of its priorities and is committed to funding innovative models and research to enhance the understanding of the barriers that hinder and factors that enhance our ability to broaden participation in STEM. The project presented by Howard University, Winston-Salem State University, Coppin State University, and Morehouse College has been designed to initiate the implementation of essential research that will set the foundation for the development of the theoretical models that pertain to the research on identity and motivation of African American students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. The project consists of the requisite research, education, knowledge transfer and outreach components. It is uniquely poised to transform current psychology theories on STEM learning while engaging participants from a minimum of 30 HBCUs, thereby giving voice to the diverse contexts that may enhance our understanding of STEM learning and STEM pedagogy.There are three overarching project research questions: (1) What is the nature of identity-based motivation among African American undergraduates in STEM at HBCUs?; (2) How is identity-based motivation interrelated with engagement, persistence, and achievement of undergraduate African American students in STEM at HBCUs?; (3) How can artificial intelligence machine learning [AIML] increase understanding of the nature of identity-based motivation among African American undergraduates in STEM at HBCUs? The primary objectives of the proposed BPRC: Center for the Development of Identity and Motivation of African American Students in STEM are as follows: (1) to develop, implement, and evaluate a partner operational plan that informs the development of a larger scale BPRC; (2) to expand and sustain the research capacity at four institutions (Howard University, Winston-Salem State University, and Morehouse College, Coppin State University) to conduct mixed methods psychology broadening participationresearch on HBCU undergraduate STEM education; (3) to partner with existing HBCU research labs and the University of Michigan National Center for Institutional Diversity to develop a robust strategy to transfer knowledge about identity-based motivation of African American students in STEM through multimedia and varied forms of dissemination and outreach; and (4) to develop a mixed methods psychology broadening participation research training curriculum to produce the next generation of scholars in the psychological science of broadening participation. The project is aligned with the strategicpriority of the National Science Foundation to make investments that enhance both research capacity and excellence in research at HBCUs. Knowledge generated about psychological experiences in HBCU learning contexts can inform future practices at HBCUs, while also informing how other institutions that are not HBCUs can cultivate psychologically enriching environments that promote learning and success among African American undergraduate students in STEM.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

历史悠久的黑人学院大学本科课程（HBCU-UP）已确定了扩大参与STEM的研究是其优先事项之一，并致力于资助创新的模型和研究，以增强对障碍的理解和妨碍我们扩大STEM参与能力的障碍和因素。由霍华德大学，温斯顿·塞勒姆州立大学，柯平·州立大学和莫尔豪斯学院提出的项目旨在启动基本研究的实施，该研究将为发展与科学，技术，工程和数学领域的非裔美国学生在科学，技术，技术，工程学领域的认同和动机有关的理论模型的发展奠定基础。 该项目包括必要的研究，教育，知识转移和外展成分。 它是独特的准备，可以改变当前的STEM学习心理学理论，同时使参与者从至少30 hbcus中吸引参与者，从而使参与者对各种环境发出声音，从而增强我们对STEM学习和STEM教育学的理解，这是三个总体的项目研究问题：（1）非裔美国人在HBCUS中基于非裔美国人不足的基于身份的动机的性质？ （2）基于身份的动机与在HBCUS的STEM中的非裔美国学生的参与，持久性和成就如何相关？ （3）人工智能机器学习如何增加对HBCUS STEM中非裔美国人本科生基于身份动机的性质的理解？ 拟议的BPRC的主要目标：STEM中非洲裔美国学生的身份和动机发展中心如下：（1）制定，实施和评估合作伙伴运营计划，以告知大规模BPRC的发展； （2）在四个机构（霍华德大学，温斯顿·塞勒姆州立大学和科平州立大学莫尔豪斯学院）的研究能力上扩大和维持研究能力，以进行混合方法，以心理学扩大对HBCU本科STEM教育的参与研究； （3）与现有的HBCU研究实验室和密歇根大学国家机构多样性中心合作，制定了一项强大的战略，以通过多媒体和各种形式的传播和宣传来转移有关基于身份的非洲裔美国学生的知识； （4）开发一种混合方法心理学扩大参与研究培训课程，以创造扩大参与的心理学科学中的下一代学者。该项目与国家科学基金会的战略优势保持一致，以进行投资，从而提高HBCUS研究能力和卓越的研究能力。关于HBCU学习环境中心理经历的知识可以为HBCUS的未来实践提供信息，同时还告知其他非HBCU的机构如何培养在STEM中促进非裔美国人本科生的心理上丰富的学习环境，这些环境在STEM中促进了这一奖项的奖项，这是NSF的法定任务，反映了通过评估的范围来审查的范围。
