The award expands a symbiotic, sustainable alliance between a top-five engineering program, Georgia Tech, and a top-five HBCU, Morehouse College, with a primary end goal of increasing the number of African American students who possess knowledge of both computer science AND computer engineering to help address national needs like semiconductor manufacturing. With the passing of the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, it is not only a goal of the nation to increase jobs and strengthen supply chains but of national security. Many of these emerging jobs will require advanced degrees in electrical and computer engineering. With the cost of equipment, labs, and faculty to teach in graduate programs, strategic partnership maximizes the yield of engineers and researchers needed to work in these roles. To achieve this goal, the grant is centered around increasing the research infrastructure in the Department of Computer Science at Morehouse College. Support will come from a collective effort from Georgia Tech. However, the College of Electrical and Computer Engineering will serve as the primary college at Georgia Tech supporting this effort.Project activities included in the grant are organized visits to Georgia Tech research labs, regular meetings to discuss collaboration goals, pre-freshman summer research program integration, conference travel, and academic support for participating Morehouse students. The partnership aims to train Morehouse students who may consider returning to Morehouse as postdoctoral researchers, research scientists, or faculty after completing their graduate degree at Georgia Tech. Two computer science faculty members from two other Atlanta HBCUs (Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University) will also be invited to participate in meetings for eventual collaboration on future NSF proposals. Graduating students who participated in the program’s activities may go on to dual degree and graduate programs outside of Georgia Tech, creating a nationwide funnel of CHIPS 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.

该奖项扩大了排名前五的工程项目佐治亚理工学院和排名前五的 HBCU 莫尔豪斯学院之间的共生、可持续联盟，其主要最终目标是增加拥有计算机科学和计算机科学知识的非裔美国学生数量随着 2022 年两党《芯片和科学法案》的通过，增加就业机会和加强供应链不仅是国家的目标，而且也是国家安全的目标。需要电气方面的高级学位考虑到研究生课程教学所需的设备、实验室和师资成本，战略合作伙伴关系最大限度地提高了从事这些工作的工程师和研究人员的产量。为了实现这一目标，这笔赠款的重点是增加研究基础设施。莫尔豪斯学院计算机科学系的支持将来自佐治亚理工学院的集体努力，但是，电气和计算机工程学院将作为佐治亚理工学院支持这项工作的主要学院。赠款中包括的项目活动是组织参观佐治亚理工学院的研究实验室，定期举行会议讨论该合作伙伴关系旨在培训莫尔豪斯大学的学生，他们在完成研究生学位后可能会考虑返回莫尔豪斯担任博士后研究人员、研究科学家或教师。佐治亚理工学院。来自另外两个亚特兰大 HBCU（斯佩尔曼学院和克拉克亚特兰大大学）的两名计算机科学教员也将受邀参加会议，以便就未来的 NSF 提案进行最终合作。参加该计划活动的毕业生可能会继续双修。学位和研究生该奖项反映了 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。
