This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) serve a high proportion of students from underrepresented minority groups, increasing workforce readiness and contributing to increased representation of these underserved groups in post-baccalaureate pathways. However, only a small fraction of federal funding for science and engineering research provided to institutions of higher education is distributed to MSIs. Addressing this need, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) will conduct a program to increase the participation and competitiveness of Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) for NSF’s Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) core programs (e.g., research funding in artificial intelligence, cyber-physical systems, and cybersecurity). The Capacity Building for Research at Minority-Serving Institutions (CyBR-MSI) program uses a constructivist theoretical framework and builds on the lessons learned from a pilot proposal development workshop held in early 2021.The purpose of the CyBR-MSI program is threefold: to (1) help participants identify and co-create research ideas for NSF CISE core programs; (2) form and develop teams among researchers from MSIs; and (3) establish the groundwork for strong grant proposals. The program includes: (1) a three-day Networking, Ideation & Team-building Workshop (NITW) in which researchers will form teams and collectively develop teamwork competencies; (2) a five-week Proposal Development Workshop (PDW) that will provide research teams with instruction, writing labs, and expert feedback on the development of key proposal components; (3) a Mentoring Program (MP) that will give each research team experienced coaching; and (4) a Mini-Grant Program (MGP) that will offer seed funding for research projects. These components will provide robust scaffolding to MSI researchers to develop competencies of team performance and proposal competitiveness through facilitated ideation, team building, instruction, practice, review, and mentoring.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.

该奖项的全部或部分资金根据《2021 年美国救援计划法案》（公法 117-2）提供。少数族裔服务机构 (MSI) 为来自代表性不足的少数族裔群体的学生提供服务，提高了劳动力的准备程度，并有助于提高然而，向高等教育机构提供的科学和工程研究联邦资金中只有一小部分分配给了 MSI，以满足这一需求。美国工程教育协会 (ASEE) 将开展一项计划，以提高少数族裔服务机构 (MSI) 对 NSF 计算机和信息科学与工程 (CISE) 核心项目的参与度和竞争力（例如，人工智能、网络和计算机领域的研究经费） - 物理系统和网络安全）。少数族裔服务机构的研究能力建设（CyBR-MSI）计划采用建构主义理论框架，并借鉴了 2017 年举办的试点提案制定研讨会的经验教训。 2021 年初。CyBR-MSI 计划有三个目的：(1) 帮助参与者确定并共同创建 NSF CISE 核心计划的研究想法；(2) 在 MSI 的研究人员中组建和发展团队；(3) 建立该计划包括：（1）为期三天的网络、创意和团队建设研讨会（NITW），研究人员将在其中组建团队并共同培养团队合作能力；（2）为期五周的研讨会。提案开发研讨会 (PDW) 将为研究团队提供关于关键提案组件开发的指导、写作实验室和专家反馈；(3) 指导计划 (MP)，为每个研究团队提供经验丰富的指导；(4)小额赠款计划 (MGP) 将为研究项目提供种子资金，这些组成部分将为 MSI 研究人员提供强大的支架，通过促进构思、团队建设、指导、实践、审查和指导来培养团队绩效和提案竞争力的能力。 。这授予 NSF 的法定使命，并通过评估反映使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得支持。
