The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) graduate programs and/or careers. The project at Fort Valley State University seeks to increase STEM students’ transfer rate from a two-year to a four-year institutions in Georgia and enhance STEM bachelor’s degree attainment among this student population. The activities include institutional, program and individual level interventions to ensure alignment and coordination across campus for the direct benefit students. The project aims to reduce barriers to transfer by leveraging a joint initiative, “The Complete College Georgia Articulation Agreement” between the University System of Georgia and the Technical College System of Georgia. This project goal will be achieved by implementing a collaborative transfer pathway program for undergraduates, with intentional recruitment strategies targeting minorities student populations, veterans, and/or non-traditional students, to promote the seamless transfer of general science education courses and begin academic support for transfer students even before the transfer occurs. Student success will be achieved through an enhanced STEM education curriculum, a series of well-designed summer workshops, undergraduate research experiences and scientific exchange with peers and other scientists at research conferences. Students will also receive advisement and career guidance in new and high-demand STEM fields. It is anticipated that these activities will facilitate career development, resulting in undergraduates who are better prepared for graduate studies or professional STEM careers. In addition, participating faculty will receive professional development training to hone their mentoring and pedagogical skills. The successful implementation of this project can serve as a model within the higher education landscape, as it examines the impact of its programmatic strategy on an historically overlooked population of STEM students that matriculate from two- to four-year programs.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.

历史上黑人学院和大学本科项目 (HBCU-UP) 通过定向注入项目支持开发、实施和研究基于证据的创新模型和方法，以改善 HBCU 本科生的准备和成功，使他们能够追求科学、福特谷州立大学的技术、工程或数学 (STEM) 研究生课程和/或职业旨在提高 STEM 学生从佐治亚州的两年制院校转到四年制院校的转学率，并提高 STEM 学士学位的获得率。这些活动包括机构、项目和个人层面的干预，以确保整个校园的协调和协调，使学生直接受益。该项目旨在通过利用联合倡议“乔治亚大学完整衔接协议”来减少转学障碍。该项目目标将通过实施本科生合作转学途径计划以及针对少数族裔学生群体、退伍军人和/或非传统学生的有意招募策略来实现。促进通识科学教育课程的无缝转移并开始学术甚至在转学发生之前，学生还将通过强化的 STEM 教育课程、一系列精心设计的夏季研讨会、本科生研究经验以及在研究会议上与同行和其他科学家的科学交流来实现学生的成功。预计这些活动将促进职业发展，使本科生为研究生学习或专业 STEM 职业做好更好的准备。此外，参与的教师还将接受专业发展培训。磨练他们的指导和教学该项目的成功可以作为高等教育领域的典范，因为它检验了其计划策略对历史上规模庞大的两年制至四年制课程的 STEM 学生群体的影响。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，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
