The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) provides support to strengthen STEM undergraduate education and research at HBCUs. To enhance its research capacity, Morgan State University will conduct planning activities to develop PI expertise in blockchain-based supply chain simulations and make improvements to the supply chain coordination mechanism. The research approach is based on mathematical programming in which costs are modeled and tested in a simulated environment. This planning project aligns with the goals of the HBCU-UP program in its efforts to bolster institutional capacity building for the purpose of enhancing STEM Undergraduate education and research endeavors. The objective of this project is to develop a blockchain-based supply chain simulation environment. During the project, a blockchain will be designed, set up, and deployed. Afterwards, a set of blockchain smart contracts that simulate delivery processes in a blockchain-based supply chain environment will be developed. The created blockchain-based supply chain simulation environment will mimic processes within a supply chain and, therefore, can be used for research and educational purposes. In research, the simulation environment will be a tool that can be used to test different blockchain-based models and concepts in supply chain management and other disciplines. In the classroom, the blockchain-based supply chain simulation environment can be used to explain to students blockchain technology and its applications in supply chain management and beyond.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.

历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 - 本科课程（HBCU -UP）为加强HBCUS的STEM本科教育和研究提供了支持。为了提高其研究能力，摩根州立大学将开展计划活动，以开发基于区块链的供应链模拟中的PI专业知识，并改善供应链协调机制。研究方法基于数​​学编程，在模拟环境中对成本进行了建模和测试。该计划项目与HBCU-UP计划的目标保持一致，以加强机构能力建设，以增强STEM本科教育和研究工作。该项目的目的是开发基于区块链的供应链模拟环境。在项目期间，将设计，设置和部署区块链。之后，将开发一组区块链智能合约，以模拟基于区块链的供应链环境中的交付过程。创建的基于区块链的供应链模拟环境将模仿供应链中的过程，因此可以用于研究和教育目的。在研究中，模拟环境将是一种工具，可用于测试供应链管理和其他学科中不同基于区块链的模型和概念。在课堂上，基于区块链的供应链仿真环境可用于向学生解释区块链技术及其在供应链管理及其他方面的应用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来获得支持的。
