This is a collaborative project including the following institutions: Coppin State University, Florida Memorial University, Kentucky State University, and Harris-Stowe State University. The Historically Black College & University Alliance for Strategic Partnerships for Innovation and Research Enhancement (HBCU-ASPIRE) initiative is poised to address and overcome existing infrastructural impediments that hinder research and innovation within Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Acknowledging the pivotal role of HBCUs in nurturing the growth of underrepresented professionals in STEM disciplines, this endeavor seeks to enhance faculty research capacity and infrastructural support. Despite the National Science Foundation (NSF) data showing HBCUs as the source of over 18% of all bachelor's degrees in STEM fields earned by African American students, these institutions often grapple with the constraints of infrastructural deficiencies and inequitable funding. Through this pilot, the HBCU-ASPIRE project aims to substantially fortify the research and innovation proficiencies of ASPIRE institutions, thereby fostering a more inclusive and dynamic U.S. and global economy.The HBCU-ASPIRE initiative will perform a methodical analysis of the prevailing challenges impeding research and innovation within each HBCU in the cohort. Utilizing proven practices from the Research Development Enterprise (RDE), the project is designed to bolster the research infrastructure, fostering robust partnerships. The initiative is committed to fortifying various dimensions such as the Office of Sponsored Research, faculty support and training, pre- and post-research award management systems, to foster a collaborative, efficient, and innovative research milieu. With an objective to compete for research funding at the national level, this project encompasses the institutionalization of best practices in research and innovation. Furthermore, the initiative is designed to generate empirically grounded insights to guide other institutions in their quest for robust research and innovation infrastructures. HBCU-ASPIRE's commitment to broadening the impact of HBCUs on STEM research, training and workforce development has the potential to foster a more inclusive and innovative global economy.This project is supported via co-funding from the NSF HBCU-Excellence in Research Program.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.

这是一个合作项目，包括以下机构：科平州立大学，佛罗里达纪念大学，肯塔基州立大学和哈里斯·斯托州立大学。 历史悠久的黑人学院与大学创新和研究增强战略伙伴关系联盟（HBCU-ASPIRE）计划有望解决和克服现有的基础设施障碍，从而阻碍历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCUS）中的研究和创新。这项努力承认HBCU在培养STEM学科中代表性不足的专业人员的成长中的关键作用，旨在提高教师研究能力和基础设施支持。尽管国家科学基金会（NSF）的数据显示，HBCU是非裔美国学生获得的STEM领域中所有学士学位的18％以上的来源，这些机构经常应对基础设施不足和不平等资金的限制。通过该试点，HBCU-ASPIRE项目旨在实质性地强化Aspire机构的研究和创新能力，从而促进更具包容性和动态的美国和全球经济。该项目利用研究开发企业（RDE）的经过验证的实践，旨在加强研究基础设施，促进稳健的合作伙伴关系。该倡议致力于加强各种维度，例如赞助研究，教职员工支持和培训，研究前和研究后奖项管理系统，以促进协作，高效和创新的研究环境。为了在国家一级争夺研究资金的目标，该项目涵盖了研究和创新中最佳实践的制度化。此外，该倡议旨在生成经验扎根的见解，以指导其他机构寻求强大的研究和创新基础设施。 HBCU-ASPIRE's commitment to broadening the impact of HBCUs on STEM research, training and workforce development has the potential to foster a more inclusive and innovative global economy.This project is supported via co-funding from the NSF HBCU-Excellence in Research Program.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 标准。
