HBCU Success

The STARS HBCU Success program provides HBCU computing faculty with quarterly, online capacity-building workshops for development of grant proposals that focus on supporting CS Education and Outreach efforts. In addition to topic-focused webinars, the program provides open “office hours” for faculty to ask questions about writing grant proposals to the NSF CISE, ATE, and EDU directorates, other NSF directorates, or corporate funders. HBCU faculty participating in the webinar series are provided with funding to attend the annual STARS Celebration to continue to collaboratively develop proposals and connect with resources offered by the STARS Computing Corps and iAAMCS BPC Alliances. Sessions are led by Dr. Kinnis Gosha, who is the Hortenius I. Chenault Endowed Professor at Morehouse College and Executive Director and Chief Research Officer of the Morehouse Center for Broadening Participation in Computing, and bring experience in writing successful grant proposals, with research funding from industry and government (including the National Science Foundation) totaling over twenty million dollars.
