Conducted by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), this award seeks to increase the capacity of researchers from Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) to produce competitive proposals to National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Computer Science and Engineering (CISE) core programs. The purpose of the Capacity Building for Research at Minority-Serving Institutions: Infrastructure Research Readiness (CyBR-MSI: IRR) program is threefold: (1) to help participants assess their campuses’ research infrastructure and prioritize improvements; (2) to form a community of practice among researchers and research infrastructure administrators from MSIs focused on capacity building of research infrastructure; and (3) to co-create, with campus leadership, an action plan for research ready infrastructure for strong grant proposals for NSF CISE core programs. Using the same theoretical tenets and based on formative and summative evaluation data from ASEE’s prior CyBR-MSI efforts, the CyBR-MSI: IRR program comprises five components: (1) a Request for Proposals (RFP), (2) a Research Infrastructure Assessment Tool (RIAT), (3) an overarching Community of Practice (CoP) for up to 12 research teams, (4) a Mentoring Program (MP) that will provide each research team with coaching to support their progress throughout the program, and (5) a facilitated Culminating Action Planning Meeting (CAP) that will guide teams and their campus leadership with templates and mentoring to create an action plan to launch on their campuses to improve their infrastructure research readiness (IRR) to increase their capacity for CISE core research. By supporting MSIs to increase competitiveness for public research funds, this project will impact high proportions of nontraditional students and students of color, and their readiness to participate in the nation’s research enterprise. The overarching goal of the CyBR-MSI program is to increase the participation and competitiveness of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) for CISE core programs (e.g., research funding in artificial intelligence, cyber-physical systems, cybersecurity, and other core research topics) through structured programs of community building, professional development, guided inquiry, practice, and mentoring. Leveraging its reach and influence to accelerate innovation, dissemination, and adoption of best practices in research, instruction, and DEI, ASEE supports and connects the MSI community to compete more effectively for NSF funds, activating a larger portion of the nation’s STEM talent.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.

该奖项由美国工程教育协会 (ASEE) 主办，旨在提高少数族裔服务机构 (MSI) 研究人员为国家科学基金会 (NSF) 计算机科学与工程 (CISE) 核心项目提出竞争性提案的能力。少数族裔服务机构研究能力建设：基础设施研究准备（CyBR-MSI：IRR）计划有三个目的：（1）帮助参与者评估其校园的研究基础设施并确定改进的优先顺序； (2) 在多学科研究中心的研究人员和研究基础设施管理员之间建立一个实践社区，重点关注研究基础设施的能力建设；(3) 与校园领导共同制定研究就绪基础设施行动计划，以提出强有力的资助提案； NSF CISE 核心计划使用相同的理论原则，并基于 ASEE 之前 CyBR-MSI 工作的形成性和总结性评估数据，CyBR-MSI：IRR 计划包含五个组成部分：(1) 提案请求 (RFP)， (2) 研究基础设施评估工具 (RIAT)，(3) 最多 12 个研究团队的总体实践社区 (CoP)，(4) 指导计划 (MP)，将为每个研究团队提供指导，以支持他们的研究整个计划的进展情况，以及 (5) 主持的最终行动计划会议 (CAP)，该会议将通过模板和指导来指导团队及其校园领导层制定一项行动计划，在其校园内启动，以提高基础设施研究准备度 (IRR)，以增加他们的能力通过支持 MSI 提高公共研究基金的竞争力，该项目将影响大量非传统学生和有色人种学生，以及他们参与国家研究事业的意愿 CyBR-MSI 计划的总体目标。旨在提高传统黑人学院和大学 (HBCU)、拉美裔服务机构 (HSI) 和部落学院和大学 (TCU) 对 CISE 的参与度和竞争力通过社区建设、专业发展、引导探究、实践和指导的结构化计划，提供核心计划（例如，人工智能、网络物理系统、网络安全和其他核心研究主题的研究经费），利用其影响力来加速创新。 ASEE 通过传播和采用研究、教学和 DEI 方面的最佳实践，支持并连接 MSI 社区，以更有效地竞争 NSF 资金，激活更多国家的 STEM 人才。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，并被认为值得支持。
