Implementation Projects in the HBCU-UP program provide support to design, implement, study and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the numbers of students and the quality of their preparation by strengthening science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and research. The Pathway Ready Opportunities for Growth, Research, and Excellence in STEM Skills (PROGRESS) Project at Prairie View A & M University seeks to support the representation of students from minoritized groups in the STEM workforce by increasing the number of STEM graduates from PVAMU. The project aims to produce globally competitive candidates, bring talent to different sectors in STEM, and contribute to the national STEM workforce. The project's theoretical framework states that successful outcomes in STEM education occur by blending psychological and social-environmental factors with STEM capital-building. The PROGRESS Project will cultivate STEM knowledge and professional competency in students through an interdisciplinary STEM educational design approach. The specific goal of the PROGRESS Project is to increase the number of STEM graduates at Prairie View A&M University through focusing on persistence in STEM majors. The potential societal impact involves acquiring assets that will help achieve the goal, including STEM cultural capital and STEM social capital. By developing 21st-century learning, literacy, and life skills, scholars will collect the tools necessary to build their STEM capital. STEM majors in the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics will have access to resources within and outside of the natural sciences, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of science and career options. The PROGRESS Project will focus on three objectives to build these skills and help students develop STEM capital, including designing and implementing a) a Panther PROGRESS Network for STEM students to access academic, career, and research mentoring, b) interdisciplinary STEM courses, and c) Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs). The project aims to use research and evidence-based strategies to improve the quality of STEM education and achieve these goals. An evaluation of the project’s objectives is underpinned by formative and summative methods for documenting outcomes and tracking benchmark progress.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.

HBCU-UP 项目中的实施项目为设计、实施、研究和评估综合机构工作提供支持，通过加强科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 途径的教育和研究来增加学生数量和学生的准备质量。 Prairie View A & M 大学的“STEM 技能成长、研究和卓越机会 (PROGRESS)”项目旨在通过增加来自少数族裔群体的 STEM 毕业生数量，支持 STEM 劳动力中少数群体学生的代表性。 PVAMU。该项目旨在培养具有全球竞争力的候选人，为 STEM 的不同领域带来人才，并为国家 STEM 劳动力做出贡献。该项目的理论框架表明，STEM 教育的成功成果是通过将心理和社会环境因素与 STEM 资本相结合而实现的。 PROGRESS 项目将通过跨学科的 STEM 教育设计方法培养学生的 STEM 知识和专业能力。 PROGRESS 项目的具体目标是通过以下方式增加 Prairie View A&M 大学的 STEM 毕业生数量。潜在的社会影响涉及获得有助于实现目标的资产，包括 STEM 文化资本和 STEM 社会资本，通过发展 21 世纪的学习、读写能力和生活技能，学者们将收集实现这一目标所需的工具。生物、化学、物理和数学学科的 STEM 专业学生将能够获得自然科学内外的资源，强调科学和职业选择的跨学科性质。将重点关注三个目标来培养这些技能并帮助学生发展 STEM 资本，包括设计和实施 a) Panther PROGRESS Network，供 STEM 学生获得学术、职业和研究指导，b) 跨学科 STEM 课程，以及 c) 课程 -该项目旨在利用研究和基于证据的策略来提高 STEM 教育的质量并实现这些目标，该项目的目标评估以记录结果和总结的方法为基础。跟踪基准进展。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
