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悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）提供支持，以开展扩大参与研究，并作为严格研究和广泛传播批判理论、结构和教学法以及文化敏感干预措施的国家中心，这些干预措施有助于HBCU 在教育非裔美国 STEM 本科生方面取得的成功 该项目旨在通过扩大参与研究来增加 STEM 和数学教师队伍中非裔美国人和代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量。作为数学导师，为 STEM 和教育学科专业的学生提供高影响力的实践，利用代数项目和南方倡议代数项目 (SIAP) 教学法，在职数学教师、职前教师和 STEM 大学生将实施这些实践。 SIAP 的 PK-16 模型在美国三个地区的多个 K-12 公立学区为学生提供指导，帮助他们参与有关学生如何发展和保持数学、管理能力的发展研究。尽管存在这些偏见，但研究的主要重点将集中于控制大学生在 STEM 和教育方面取得成功和坚持的来源和根本因素。以生态的现象学变体为指导。该项目采用混合方法（例如焦点小组、访谈、调查、类型和水平）支持、学术记录、标准化数学成绩、出勤记录等）来研究非裔美国人和代表性不足的少数族裔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）并坚持 STEM 学科。将参与扩大参与研究，因为现场研究人员参与与上述调查研究和焦点小组相关的定量和定性数据收集，学生将参与高影响力的辅导实践，同时参与公民科学和行动研究。同时举例说明代表其大学和社区干预的社区参与形式，由 SIAP 设计团队（即社区和场地开发团队）支持。强有力的外部评估将监测和评估所有目标的进展情况，为所有中心提供形成性和总结性评估。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
