This regional workshop aims to assist participating institutions in enhancing their research capabilities. The workshop will include forums led by NSF program officers. An intended outcome of the workshop is to narrow the NSF funding gap between EPSCoR states and non-EPSCoR states, where EPSCoR states represent those who receive significantly less funding from NSF. Alabama State University will host this workshop within the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (CSTEM). A key focus of the workshop will be to foster new collaborations, partnerships, and engagement with NSF as well as institutions within the state and region that will ultimately enhance scientific research conducted over time. Workshop attendees will include representatives from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, including staff from university administration, research and sponsored programs, and research faculty. The workshop has potential to lead to significant impacts for HBCUs, including a potential increase in their NSF grant submissions and awards as well as increase in research products such as peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters and conference proceedings. This regional workshop can serve as a model for future collaborative efforts between HBCUs in EPSCoR states. The workshop also seeks to include both 2-year and 4-year institutions to build additional pipelines supporting both institution types. The involvement of two-year institutions, institutions that are new to NSF funding opportunities, and institutions that have not been successful in securing funding align with NSF’s 2022-2026 Strategic Plan. Alabama State University will host a regional workshop that will focus on two-year and four-year HBCUs located in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, which are all EPSCoR states. This effort aims to narrow the funding NSF gap between EPSCoR states and non-EPSCoR states. Studies have shown that researchers in EPSCoR states yield more research products per dollar awarded compared to their non-EPSCoR counterparts in the form of peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters and conference proceedings. NSF will partner through participation from NSF science directorates in Biology, Engineering and Geology to provide additional insight to research faculty at participating HBCUs. Workshop outcomes will potentially lead to participants submitting competitive proposals to targeted NSF programs. This effort aims to promote new collaborations and partnerships with NSF as well as institutions within the state and the region that will ultimately enhance scientific research conducted over time.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.

该区域研讨会旨在协助参与机构增强其研究能力。该研讨会将包括由NSF计划官员领导的论坛。研讨会的预期结果是缩小EPSCOR国家和非EPSCOR国家之间的NSF资金差距，而EPSCOR国家代表那些从NSF获得资金降低的人。阿拉巴马州立大学将在科学，技术，工程和数学学院（CSTEM）举办该研讨会。研讨会的重点将是促进与国家和地区范围内的NSF以及国家和地区的机构建立新的合作，合作伙伴关系，并最终会增强随着时间的推移进行的科学研究。研讨会的参与者将包括来自历史悠久的黑人学院（HBCUS），阿拉巴马州，密西西比州和路易斯安那州的代表，包括大学管理，研究和赞助计划的员工以及研究学院。该研讨会有可能导致对HBCU的重大影响，包括潜在的NSF赠款提交和奖项以及研究产品的增加，例如同行评审的期刊文章，书籍章节和会议论文集。该区域研讨会可以作为Epscor州HBCU之间未来合作努力的模型。该研讨会还试图包括2年和4年的机构，以建立支持这两种机构类型的额外管道。两年年份的机构，NSF资助机会的新机构的参与以及尚未成功确保资金与NSF的2022-2026战略计划保持一致的机构。阿拉巴马州立大学将举办一个区域研讨会，该研讨会将重点放在位于阿拉巴马州，密西西比州和路易斯安那州的两年期HBCU，这都是Epscor的国家。这项工作旨在缩小EPSCOR国家和非EPSCOR国家之间NSF差距的缩小。研究表明，EPSCOR国家的研究人员以同行评审的期刊文章，书籍章节和会议记录的形式与非EPSCOR同行相比，每美元授予的研究产品更多。 NSF将通过NSF科学局的生物学，工程和地质学局的参与，为参与HBCUS的研究教师提供更多见解。研讨会的成果可能会导致参与者向有针对性的NSF计划提交竞争性建议。这项努力旨在促进与NSF以及该州和该地区内部的机构以及最终会增强随着时间的推移进行的科学研究的新合作和合作伙伴关系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来获得的支持。
