The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network is requesting one year of support from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Research Coordination Networks in Undergraduate Biology Education (RCN-UBE) Program to provide a workshop that will lead to increased awareness of the RCN-UBE program, enable the development of successful RCN-UBE network proposals, and ultimately lead to significant professional development of researchers and educators from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) nationwide. The main purpose of this work is to nurture HBCU researchers’ proposal development skills to cultivate a competitive pool of proposals to the RCN-UBE Program. To achieve this goal, QEM proposes to meet the following objectives: Conduct a two-day proposal development workshop in September of 2021 for 40 faculty who are interested in submitting successful RCN-UBE proposals in the 2022 awards cycle; Develop an RCN-UBE community of practice that will include a listserv and website that interfaces with social media, which will be used as an information sharing and collaboration network for HBCUs that are developing proposals; Provide additional guidance to participants through a series of post-workshop, consultant-led, individualized sessions to encourage participant submission of an RCN-UBE proposal by the January 2022 deadline; and Disseminate the results of workshop and post-workshop activities to the greater minority-serving community. Increasing RCN-UBE awards at MSIs will assist them with capacity building, developing and sustaining student enrolment and matriculation in the biological sciences, and diversify science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers contributing to America's global competitiveness. This project is being funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Division of Biological Infrastructure as part of efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action (http://visionandchange/finalreport/).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.

少数群体（QEM）网络的质量教育要求国家科学基金会（NSF）的研究协调网络在本科生物学教育（RCN-UBE）计划（RCN-UBE）计划，以提供一个研讨会，以提高人们对RCN-UBE计划的认识，从而使RCN-UBE网络的成功发展及其最终的研究员和最终的教育专业人士和最终的专业人士的发展，并能够发展为RCN-UBE计划。 （HBCUS）全国。这项工作的主要目的是护理HBCU研究人员的提案开发技能，以培养RCN-UBE计划的竞争性建议。为了实现这一目标，QEM提出符合以下目标的建议：在2021年9月为40名教职员工进行为期两天的提案开发研讨会，他们有兴趣在2022年颁奖典礼上提交成功的RCN-UBE建议；开发一个RCN-ube实践社区，其中包括一个与社交媒体接口的列表服务和网站，该网站将用作正在开发建议的HBCU的信息共享和协作网络；通过一系列工作后，由顾问主导的个性化会议为参与者提供其他指导，以鼓励参与者在2022年1月的截止日期之前提交RCN-UBE建议；并将研讨会和工作室后活动的结果传播给更大的少数派服务社区。 MSIS的RCN-ube奖项将有助于他们在生物科学中的能力建设，发展和维持学生的入学和矩阵，并使科学，技术，工程和数学和数学（STEM）生涯多样化，从而为美国的全球竞争力做出了贡献。该项目是由生物科学局，生物基础设施部门资助的，这是解决本科生物学教育愿景和变化所带来的挑战的一部分：呼吁采取行动（http：// visionandchange/finalreport/）。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务和范围的支持，这是通过评估的范围来评估的。
