With support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program), this Conference project aims to provide training and technical support to faculty, staff, and administrators from Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) to improve their proposal development skills, particularly in applying for the National Science Foundation's Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic Serving Institutions grants. The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) will accomplish this by hosting a day-long institute at the HACU 2023 annual conference, targeting under-resourced HSIs that have never submitted or have been unsuccessful with NSF grants. Innovation in STEM depends on a diversity of perspectives in the national scientific workforce. However, many faculty and practitioners at HSIs lack practical experience in developing competitive funding proposals for research and student programming. To increase participation in NSF funding opportunities by HSIs, the proposed institute will systematically train HSI personnel to write a competitive and evidence-based proposal. The institutes expects up to one hundred participants from fifty or more institutions to attend the inaugural event.The proposed institute will provide several hands-on proposal development and writing sessions, led by experts from HSIs. Participants will learn best practices for conceptualizing a compelling project and writing a persuasive proposal, guided by expert mentors during and after the institute. The pilot institute will be evaluated and results will be disseminated in announcements to HACU members through email and social media, and will lead to the institutionalization of an annual research capacity building institute that is offered at subsequent HACU meetings. The HSI Program aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education and build capacity at HSIs. Projects supported by the HSI Program will also generate new knowledge on how to achieve these aims.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.

在改善本科 STEM 教育：西班牙裔服务机构（HSI 计划）的支持下，该会议项目旨在为西班牙裔服务机构 (HSI) 的教职员工和管理人员提供培训和技术支持，以提高他们的提案制定技能，特别是申请美国国家科学基金会的“改善本科生 STEM 教育：西班牙裔服务机构”补助金。西班牙裔学院和大学协会 (HACU) 将通过在 HACU 2023 年年会上举办为期一天的研究所来实现这一目标，目标对象是从未提交或未成功获得 NSF 拨款的资源不足的 HSI。 STEM 的创新取决于国家科学劳动力的多元化观点。然而，HSI 的许多教师和从业人员缺乏为研究和学生项目制定竞争性资助提案的实践经验。为了增加 HSI 参与 NSF 资助的机会，拟议的研究所将系统地培训 HSI 人员，以撰写具有竞争力和基于证据的提案。这些机构预计将有来自 50 个或更多机构的 100 名参与者参加首届活动。拟议的机构将提供几次由 HSI 专家主持的实践提案制定和写作会议。参与者将在学院期间和之后由专家导师的指导，学习概念化引人注目的项目和撰写有说服力的提案的最佳实践。该试点机构将接受评估，结果将通过电子邮件和社交媒体向 HACU 成员发布公告，并将导致年度研究能力建设机构制度化，并在随后的 HACU 会议上提出。 HSI 计划旨在加强本科生 STEM 教育并建设 HSI 的能力。 HSI 计划支持的项目还将产生有关如何实现这些目标的新知识。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。
