MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, LOCATED IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, IS THE LARGEST INDEPENDENT, FULLY ACCREDITED, HISTORICALLY BLACK LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE EXCLUSIVELY FOR MEN IN THE U.S. THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, THE COLLEGE HAS SUCCESSFULLY TRAINED UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CAREERS. FURTHERMORE, MOREHOUSE RANKS AS ONE OF THE TOP UNDERGRADUATE PRODUCERS OF BLACKS WITH DOCTORAL AND MEDICAL DEGREES IN THE COUNTRY. IN ADDITION, THE COLLEGE CONFERS MORE BACCALAUREATE DEGREES UPON AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN THAN ANY OTHER INSTITUTION IN THE WORLD. OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES, MOREHOUSE COLLEGE HAS HAD THE VISION TO SUPPORT THE TRAINING OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TO DIVERSIFY THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE. PHSI WAS CREATED SIX (6) YEARS AFTER PROJECT IMHOTEP (1988) THROUGH A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL (CDC) & PREVENTION TO SUPPORT PROJECT IMHOTEP WHICH WAS ESTABLISH IN 1982 WITHIN CDC’S DIVISION OF HIV, STD & TB PREVENTION. PHSI WAS DESIGNED TO TRAIN UNDERREPRESENTED AND UNDERSERVED MINORITY STUDENTS IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENCES. FOR THE PAST 41 YEARS, THE PRIMARY GOAL OF PROJECT IMHOTEP HAS BEEN TO PREPARE UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY STUDENTS FOR ENTRY INTRO GRADUATE PROGRAMS AND CAREERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH. TO CONTINUE ITS MISSION, THE MOREHOUSE COLLEGE PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENCES INSTITUTE IS SUBMITTING A GRANT PROPOSAL TO FUND THE LEWIS SCHOLARS IMHOTEP (LSI) PROGRAM UNDER CDC-RFA-CD22-2201: CATEGORY A - CDC JOHN R. LEWIS UNDERGRADUATE PUBLIC HEALTH SCHOLARS PROGRAM: EXPOSURE OF UNDERGRADUATE, GRADUATE STUDENTS, AND POSTGRADUATES TO MINORITY HEALTH, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND HEALTH PROFESSIONS. THE LEWIS SCHOLARS IMHOTEP PROGRAM WILL ADDRESS THE HEALTHY PEOPLE 2030 OVERARCHING GOAL TO ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY, ELIMINATE HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ALL GROUPS BY INCREASING THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF WELL-TRAINED PROFESSIONALS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS INTO THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE. THE LSI PROGRAM AIMS TO: (A) IMPROVE STUDENT ACADEMIC SKILLS AND INCREASE INTEREST IN PUBLIC HEALTH; (B) INCREASED AWARENESS OF PUBLIC HEALTH CAREER OPPORTUNITIES; (C) INCREASE KNOWLEDGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH CONCEPTS, INCLUDING HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH; AND (D) IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF PROFESSIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. OVER 2000 STUDENTS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN ONE OR MORE OF THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES PROVIDED BY PHSI AND 77% OF THESE STUDENTS HAVE EARNED OR ARE PURSUING AN ADVANCED DEGREE IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND/OR IN BIOMEDICAL HEALTH (DUFFUS, W., TRAWICK, C., MOONESINGHE R., TOLA J., TRUMAN B. & DEAN, H. (2014)). THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTICIPANTS (55%) ARE CURRENTLY WORKING IN A PUBLIC HEALTH POSITION INCLUDING: FEDERAL (23%), STATE (6%), LOCAL (5%), ACADEMIA (23%), NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (21%), AND OTHER (35%). THUS, PHSI HAS A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MINORITY STUDENTS REPRESENTED IN THE AREAS OF BIOSTATISTICS, EPIDEMIOLOGY, AND OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH.

EXPANDQISE: TRACK 1: QUANTUM MATERIALS TEMPORAL ANALYSIS AND?COHERENT?CONTROL?USING ATTO METROLOGY?FOR QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE -NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: THE DEVELOPMENT OF QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (QISE) AND ASSOCIATED TECHNOLOGIES ARE ON THE HORIZON. THUS, EXPANDING THE FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS IS CRITICAL. THE INTEREST OF THIS PROJECT IS TO UNVEIL THE ULTRAFAST QUANTUM PHENOMENA AT THE ATTOSECOND SCALE, BY DEVELOPING A NEW TECHNIQUE CAPABLE OF DETECTING AND CROSS-CORRELATING WAVE-PACKETS WITH SINGLE-DIGIT ATTOSECOND OR SINGLE-PARTICLE LEVEL ACCURACY AT GHZ DATA RATES. THIS PROJECT LEVERAGES A MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL COLLABORATION LED BY THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT AT MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, THE ELECTRICAL & COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND PHYSICS & ASTRONOMY DEPARTMENTS AT UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES, AND A TRAINEESHIP PROGRAM AT THE LINAC COHERENT LIGHT SOURCE UNDER STANFORD UNIVERSITY?S SLAC NATIONAL ACCELERATOR LABORATORY. THIS PARTNERSHIP IS USED TO STRENGTHEN THE EXISTING EFFORTS TO RECRUIT, RETAIN, AND GRADUATE UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE PARTICIPANTS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN STEM AND HELP TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF QUANTUM SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC COHERENCE IN ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR, AND CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS IS A LONG-SOUGHT-AFTER GOAL. PHOTO-EXCITATION PATHWAYS CAN BE EXPLOITED TO COHERENTLY TRANSMUTE LIGHT WAVE-PACKETS INTO CHARGE EXCITATIONS AND ELECTRONIC PHASE TRANSITIONS FOR QUANTUM AND NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING. UNFORTUNATELY, COHERENCE IS USUALLY LOST IN EXTREMELY FAST TIMESCALES DUE TO INCOHERENT FLUCTUATIONS AND DECOHERENCE EFFECTS INTRINSIC TO CERTAIN (NONEQUILIBRIUM) STATES OF MATTER. THUS, MEASURING AND UNDERSTANDING THE (DE)COHERENCE MECHANISMS OF TECHNOLOGICALLY RELEVANT QUANTUM MATERIALS?E.G., CORRELATED MATERIALS SUCH AS TWISTED GRAPHENE AND 3D DIRAC SEMIMETALS ? IS A CRUCIAL FIRST STEP TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF DECOHERENCE MITIGATION STRATEGIES. THE TECHNOLOGY THE RESEARCH TEAM AIMS TO DEVELOP IS CAPABLE OF MEASURING QUANTUM-LEVEL DE/EXCITATION MECHANISMS IN A WIDE ENSEMBLE OF PHYSICAL SYSTEMS. AS A MODEL SYSTEM, THIS STUDY INVESTIGATES HIGH-HARMONIC GENERATION AS ONE PROMINENT TYPE OF ATTOSECOND-LEVEL ELECTRONIC DYNAMICAL SYSTEM. HIGH-HARMONIC GENERATION IN STRONGLY CORRELATED MATERIALS GENERATE ULTRAFAST LIGHT SOURCE VIA QUANTUM PHASE TRANSITION BY NONLINEAR OPTICS IN STRONG LASER FIELDS. THIS PROJECT COULD EXPERIMENTALLY VERIFY EMERGING THEORY ON THE QUANTUM NATURE OF HIGH-HARMONIC GENERATION, A PROCESS THAT IS TRADITIONALLY DESCRIBED THROUGH (SEMI)CLASSICAL FRAMEWORKS. THE BROADER IMPACT OF THIS STUDY SPANS BEYOND QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE TO RENDER A NEW TRANSFORMATIONAL TOOL IN MOLECULAR PHYSICS, QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS, RELATIVISTIC AND NONLINEAR OPTICS, AND PARTICLE PHYSICS. THE PROJECT IS CO-FUNDED BY THE OFFICE OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY ACTIVITIES (OMA), AND THE HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM (HBCU-UP). 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.

BPC-AE: INSTITUTE FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS IN COMPUTING SCIENCES (IAAMCS) NATIONAL NETWORK -THIS AWARD EXTENDS THE BPC ALLIANCE DIVERSIFYING LEADERSHIP IN THE PROFESSORIATE (LEAP). LEAP IS LED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO AND ADDRESSES THE CRITICAL CHALLENGE OF INCREASING THE DIVERSITY OF COMPUTING FACULTY AT RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES AS A WAY TO INCREASE DIVERSITY ACROSS THE FIELD. TO MEET THIS GOAL, LEAP SUPPORTS INSTITUTIONAL COHORTS STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED TO BUILD COMMUNITY AMONG SIMILAR INSTITUTION TYPES AND IDENTIFY KEY PRACTICES IN SUPPORTING STUDENTS UNDERREPRESENTED IN COMPUTING ACROSS DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXTS. THIS EXTENSION WILL BUILD UPON LESSONS LEARNED BY THESE COHORTS AND CONTINUE TO REFINE STRATEGIES FOR INCREASING DIVERSITY IN THE COMPUTING PROFESSORIATE. THE EXTENSION WILL ALSO ESTABLISH AN AFFILIATES PROGRAM TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND LESSONS LEARNED ACROSS LEAP COHORTS AND NEW AFFILIATE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. THE PROBLEM THE LEAP ALLIANCE ADDRESSES IS STARK AND STRAIGHT-FORWARD: ONLY 5.3% OF THE FACULTY (TENURED, TENURE TRACK, TEACHING, RESEARCH, INSTRUCTORS, AND POSTDOCS) AT PHD-GRANTING UNIVERSITIES ARE FROM THE FOLLOWING UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES: BLACK OR AFRICAN-AMERICAN, HISPANIC, AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE, OR NATIVE HAWAIIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER. THIS EXTENSION BUILDS UPON THE INITIAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND LESSONS LEARNED AND ENTAILS TWO MAIN ACTIVITIES: (1) THE CONTINUATION AND REFINEMENT OF THE LEAP ALLIANCE STRATEGIES FOR INCREASING DIVERSITY IN THE COMPUTING PROFESSORIATE AND (2) THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN AFFILIATES PROGRAM FOR STRONG CROSS-DISSEMINATION OF GOOD PRACTICES AND LESSONS LEARNED BETWEEN THE FOUR COHORTS AND THE AFFILIATE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. THE SHARED PURPOSE AND BROAD VISION OF THE LEAP ALLIANCE ENTAILS THREE MAIN APPROACHES: (1) INCREASE THE DIVERSITY OF PHD GRADUATES FROM THE INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE THE TOP PRODUCERS OF COMPUTING FACULTY; (2) INCREASE THE EXPOSURE OF ACADEMIC CAREERS AT THE INSTITUTIONS THAT ALREADY HAVE GOOD DIVERSITY IN THEIR PHD GRADUATES; AND (3) INCREASE THE RETENTION OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES AT THE INSTITUTIONS THAT SEND STUDENTS TO DOCTORAL 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ESTABLISH A DATA SCIENCE COURSE SEQUENCE FOCUSING ON DEEP LEARNING FOR STUDENTS MAJORING IN PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES AT MOREHOUSE COLLEGE. THIS PROJECT GOALS ARE TO 1) ESTABLISH A THREE-COURSE DATA SCIENCE SEQUENCE FOCUSING ON EMERGENT MODELING TECHNIQUES IN DEEP LEARNING, AND 2) CREATE A COLLABORATIVE IN-HOUSE TRAINING OPPORTUNITY TO BRING TOGETHER THE ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE GAINED IN THE CLASSROOM AND APPLY IT TO PRACTICAL REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS. THE DATA SCIENCE COURSE SEQUENCE WILL BE COMPOSED OF A TWO-SEMESTER COURSE FOR JUNIOR OR SENIOR STUDENTS AND A ONE-TERM COLLABORATIVE IN-HOUSE HANDS-ON TRAINING OPPORTUNITY. IN THE TWO-SEMESTER COURSE, THE STUDENTS WILL LEARN THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF MACHINE LEARNING AND DEEP NEURAL NETWORK. THEY WILL LEARN TO USE TYPICAL OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE FRAMEWORKS SUCH TENSORFLOW OR PYTORCH TO SOLVE THE ASSIGNED EXERCISES. SIMPLE HANDS-ON PROJECTS IN OBJECTIVE DETECTION AND SEGMENTATION WILL BE INTRODUCED. THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE A JETSON NANO GPU TO RUN AN AUTONOMOUS TOY-LIKE VEHICLE. THE ONE SEMESTER TERM PROJECT COURSE AIMS TO GIVE THE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEAM UP WITH THE COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS TO WORK ON REAL WORLD DATA SCIENCE PROBLEMS. A SYNERGY DATA SCIENCE PROJECT WILL BE ESTABLISHED VIA KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES THAT PREPARES STUDENTS HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED IN STEM FOR THE DEMANDS AND CHALLENGES OF THE EXISTING WORKFORCE IN THE SOCIETY. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

PRIMES: RESEARCHING AND TEACHING MATHEMATICS OF FAIRNESS AND EQUITY -OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES, FORMAL MATHEMATICAL MODELS HAVE CONTRIBUTED INCREASINGLY TO ADVANCES IN POLITICAL SCIENCE, AND OVER THESE YEARS MATHEMATICIANS AND ECONOMISTS HAVE JOINED FORCES WITH POLITICAL SCIENTISTS TO STUDY TIMELY AND IMPORTANT ISSUES, INCLUDING FAIR REPRESENTATION IN LEGISLATURES AND MULTIMEMBER DISTRICTS - IN WHICH MULTIPLE CANDIDATES RATHER THAN ONLY ONE ARE ELECTED TO REPRESENT A JURISDICTION - TO PRODUCE LEGISLATIVE BODIES MORE REFLECTIVE OF VOTING POPULATIONS. THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR WILL MAKE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO PUBLIC AND CIVIC DISCOURSE AND ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF U.S. REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY, INCLUDING RESPONSES TO THE GERRYMANDERING OF DISTRICTS FOR PARTISAN GAIN AND LOSS IN STATE AND LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. BEYOND THIS SCHOLARLY INQUIRY, THE PROJECT WILL INCREASE ENGAGEMENT OF BLACK MEN IN COURSEWORK AND COLLABORATIVE MATHEMATICAL RESEARCH, SPECIFICALLY IN THE MATHEMATICS OF FAIRNESS AND EQUITY, AN AREA CLOSELY CONNECTED TO THE SOCIAL JUSTICE AIMS OF MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, A HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE. THIS PROJECT WILL ADVANCE RESEARCH IN THE MATHEMATICS OF VOTING AND REPRESENTATION. THE PI EXAMINES THE POTENTIAL OF MULTIMEMBER ELECTORAL DISTRICTS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUPPORTING ELECTION METHODS, TO YIELD FAIR REPRESENTATION. ONE FACET OF THIS WORK IS TO CONSIDER FAIRNESS TO INDIVIDUALS IN A POPULATION THROUGH SPATIAL MODELS, IN WHICH THE IDEALS OF VOTERS ARE REPRESENTED BY POINTS IN M-DIMENSIONAL SPACE WHERE EACH COORDINATE OF AN M-DIMENSIONAL POINT IN A POLICY SPACE REPRESENTS THE POSITION OF THE CITIZEN ON A PARTICULAR ISSUE OR INTEREST. SPATIAL MODELS IN POLITICS ARE WELL STUDIED, BUT LESS SO FOR MULTIMEMBER DISTRICTS WITH MULTIPLE CANDIDATES ELECTED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE PI WILL DEVELOP AND EXTEND THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL WORK ON SPATIAL MODELS OF MULTIMEMBER DISTRICT ELECTIONS. BEYOND THIS THRUST, OTHER RESEARCH RESULTS WILL ARISE MORE BROADLY FROM RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS ESTABLISHED WITH OTHER MATHEMATICAL SCIENTISTS DURING THE ALGORITHMS, FAIRNESS, AND EQUITY SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM AT THE SIMONS LAUFER MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES INSTITUTE. THE PROJECT IS FUNDED JOINTLY BY THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM OF THE DIVISION OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES AND THE HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITITES-EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH (HBCU-EIR) PROGRAM. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

BPR: IDENTIFYING FACTORS THAT IMPACT SUCCESS AND PERSISTENCE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION -THE HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM (HBCU-UP) THROUGH THE RESEARCH ON BROADENING PARTICIPATION IN STEM FUNDING OPPORTUNITY PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR PROJECTS THAT CREATE AND ADVANCE THEORY DRIVEN MODELS AND INNOVATIONS ADDRESSING EFFORTS TO PROMOTE STUDENT SUCCESS AND RETENTION IN STEM AT HBCUS. THIS PROJECT CONTRIBUTES TO INCREASING NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS AND SERVES THE NATIONAL INTEREST BY IDENTIFYING AND SCALING EFFECTIVE INSTITUTIONAL AND DEPARTMENTAL PRACTICES THAT PROMOTE UNDERGRADUATE COMPUTING MAJORS' ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND CAREER READINESS. HBCUS ARE ESSENTIAL IN PROMOTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATION'S WORKFORCE. HBCUS HAVE A LONG-STANDING TRADITION OF PRODUCING GRADUATES IN STEM FIELDS. THIS PROJECT ESTABLISHES A COLLABORATIVE NETWORK OF HBCU COMPUTING DEPARTMENTS AND INVESTIGATES HOW INSTITUTIONAL AND DEPARTMENT-LEVEL FACTORS INFLUENCE STUDENT PERSISTENCE AND ASPIRATIONS IN COMPUTING. FINDINGS CONTRIBUTE TO A BEST PRACTICES CATALOG THAT INFORMS INSTITUTIONAL STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE COMPUTING EDUCATION. THE PROJECT ALSO GENERATES CRITICAL INSIGHTS INTO WHY SOME STUDENTS LEAVE THE COMPUTING PIPELINE, PROVIDING EVIDENCE TO STRENGTHEN RETENTION EFFORTS AND IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF UNDERGRADUATE STEM EDUCATION. THE STUDY EMPLOYS A MIXED-METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN GUIDED BY THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS, SUCH AS ASTIN'S INPUT-ENVIRONMENT-OUTCOME (IEO) MODEL. DATA COLLECTION PARTNERS IN THE STUDY ARE MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, SPELMAN COLLEGE, CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, AND WINSTON-SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY. THE DATA COLLECTION PLAN INCLUDES SURVEYS, DEPARTMENTAL DOCUMENT REVIEW, AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH UNDERGRADUATE COMPUTING MAJORS, FACULTY, ADMINISTRATORS, AND STUDENTS WHO WITHDREW FROM COMPUTING MAJORS. DATA ARE ANALYZED USING A HYBRID OF DEDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE THEMATIC CODING TO DEVELOP INSTITUTIONAL MODELS LINKING STUDENT BACKGROUND (INPUT), LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (ENVIRONMENT), AND OUTCOMES (E.G., GRADUATION AND CAREER GOALS). THIS PROJECT GOES BEYOND IDENTIFYING FACTORS RELATED TO SUCCESS AND PERSISTENCE WITHIN COMPUTING MAJORS. IT IS DESIGNED TO EXPAND UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THESE FACTORS RELATE TO STUDENTS' PERSISTENCE AND CAREER ASPIRATIONS IN COMPUTING DISCIPLINES, WHICH ARE EXPERIENCING EXPONENTIAL GROWTH AND REQUIRE A SKILLED WORKFORCE. THE PROJECT ADDRESSES RESEARCH QUESTIONS THAT INVESTIGATE KEY INSTITUTIONAL AND DEPARTMENT-LEVEL PRACTICES THAT FACILITATE THE SUCCESS OF COMPUTING MAJORS; THE WAYS THAT THESE PRACTICES PROMOTE ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND INFLUENCE STUDENTS' CAREER ASPIRATIONS WITHIN THE FIELD OF COMPUTING; AND THE UNDERGRADUATE EXPERIENCES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO STUDENTS LEAVING COMPUTING MAJORS AT HBCUS. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT IS ESTABLISHING A COLLABORATIVE HBCU COMPUTING NETWORK AND PRODUCING SCALABLE BEST PRACTICES FOR COMPUTING DEPARTMENTS. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
