This Project Grant award of $499,795 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a two-year project to examine the impact of a professional development program designed to serve the needs and interests of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The project, titled "HBCU THRIVE", combines virtual workshops, an in-person writing retreat, and extensive writing support to help HBCU STEM faculty develop strong research agendas, prepare competitive proposals, and navigate professional challenges. The project aims to improve the capacity of HBCU STEM faculty to respond to the NSF's Excellence in Research (EIR) program with successful submissions, while also studying the necessity and impact of incorporating HBCU faculty identities, interests, and values into professional development activities. The project will be informed by a rigorous evaluation plan and is expected to plant the seeds for a community of practice that strengthens the network of HBCU researchers.
