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。 传统黑人学院和大学创新和研究增强战略伙伴关系联盟 (HBCU-ASPIRE) 计划旨在解决和克服阻碍传统黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 内研究和创新的现有基础设施障碍。认识到 HBCU 在培养 STEM 学科中代表性不足的专业人士成长方面的关键作用，这项努力旨在提高教师的研究能力和基础设施支持。尽管美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 的数据显示，非洲裔美国学生获得的 STEM 领域学士学位的 18% 以上来自 HBCU，但这些机构经常面临基础设施缺陷和资金不公平的限制。通过这一试点，HBCU-ASPIRE 项目旨在大幅加强 ASPIRE 机构的研究和创新能力，从而培育更具包容性和活力的美国和全球经济。HBCU-ASPIRE 计划将对阻碍研究的普遍挑战进行系统分析以及队列中每个 HBCU 的创新。该项目利用研究开发企业 (RDE) 的成熟实践，旨在加强研究基础设施，培育强有力的合作伙伴关系。该倡议致力于加强赞助研究办公室、教师支持和培训、研究前和研究后奖励管理系统等各个方面，以培育协作、高效和创新的研究环境。该项目的目标是在国家层面竞争研究经费，涵盖研究和创新最佳实践的制度化。此外，该计划旨在产生基于经验的见解，以指导其他机构寻求强大的研究和创新基础设施。 HBCU-ASPIRE 致力于扩大 HBCU 对 STEM 研究、培训和劳动力发展的影响，有可能促进更具包容性和创新性的全球经济。该项目得到 NSF HBCU-卓越研究计划的共同资助。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。
