Broadening Participation Research Centers provide support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to conduct broadening participation research and serve as national hubs for the rigorous study and broad dissemination of the critical theories, structures and pedagogies, as well as culturally sensitive interventions that contribute to the success of HBCUs in educating African American STEM undergraduates. This project seeks to increase the number of African American and underrepresented minority students in STEM and math teachers' pipelines by broadening participation research and providing high-impact practices as math tutors for those majoring in STEM and education disciplines. Using the Algebra Project and the Southern Initiative Algebra Project (SIAP) pedagogies, in-service math teachers, pre-service teachers, and STEM college students will implement SIAP's PK-16 Model in several K-12 public school districts in three regions of the United States. Students are provided mentoring as they participate in developmental studies of how students develop and maintain proficiency in math, manage biases associated with minorities in math and science, and persist in STEM disciplines despite those biases. The primary thrust of research will concentrate on the sources and underlying factors governing college students’ success and persistence in STEM and education.Guided by the phenomenological variant of ecological systems and communities of practice theories, which focus on contexts, support, adaptive and maladaptive coping, and the developments of emergent identities undergirding academic performance, the project uses mixed methods (e.g., focus groups, interviews, surveys, type and levels of support, academic records, standardized math scores, attendance records, etc.) to study how African American and underrepresented minority students become proficient math learners, manage biases (including racial, gender, and economic) and persist in STEM disciplines. HBCU college students will be engaged in broadening participation research as field researchers involved in quantitative and qualitative data collection associated with the aforementioned survey research and focus groups. Students will be engaged in both high-impact tutoring practices while being involved in citizen science and action research as they will simultaneously exemplify a form of community engagement representing both their university and the community intervention undergirded by SIAP's design team (i.e., their community and site development team). A robust external evaluation will monitor and assess progress on all objectives, providing both formative and summative assessment of all Center activities.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.

扩大参与研究中心为历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）提供了支持，以进行扩大参与研究，并充当国家枢纽，以进行严格的研究和广泛传播批判理论，结构和教学法，以及文化敏感的干预措施，以及对非洲人在教育非裔美国人造成教育不足的人教育中的成功。该项目旨在通过扩大参与研究并为STEM和教育学科主修的人提供高影响力实践，以扩大参与研究并为STEM和数学教师提供的数学教师的数学教师提供高度影响实践，以增加STEM和数学教师管道中代表性不足的少数民族学生的数量。使用代数项目和南方倡议代数项目（SIAP）教学法，服务数学教师，服务前教师和STEM大学生将在美国三个地区的几个K-12公立学区中实施SIAP的PK-16模型。在学生参与学生如何发展和维持数学水平，管理与数学和科学少数群体相关的偏见以及在STEM学科目的地的偏见时，他们提供了指导。 The primary thrust of research will concentrate on the sources and underlying factors governing college students’ success and persistence in STEM and education.Guided by the phenomenological variant of ecological systems and communities of practice theories, which focus on contexts, support, adaptive and maladaptive coping, and the developments of emergent identities undergirling academic performance, the project uses mixed methods (e.g., focus groups, interviews, surveys, type and levels of support,学术记录，标准化的数学分数，出勤记录等）研究非裔美国人和代表性不足的少数民族学生如何成为熟练的数学学习者，管理偏见（包括种族，性别和经济）并在STEM学科中持续存在。随着参与与优先的调查研究和焦点小组相关的定量和定性数据收集的现场研究人员，HBCU大学的学生将参与扩大参与研究。学生将在参与公民科学和行动研究的同时，从事高影响力的辅导实践，因为他们将简单地免除代表其大学和社区干预措施的社区参与形式，而SIAP的设计团队（即他们的社区和现场发展团队）。强大的外部评估将在所有目标上监控和评估进展，从而提供对所有中心活动的形成性和总结性评估。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为通过评估而被认为是宝贵的支持。
