The report, Research Activity at the 1890 Universities, offers critical insight into the type of research ongoing at the 19 historically black land-grant universities. The five year period of 2012-2016 demonstrates notable research activity within primarily teaching-centered universities. Implications of research pursuits and productivity are important and the 1890 universities are engaging in research irrespective of the institutional type and infrastructural capacity they hold.

As STEM Education Centers (SECs) grow in prominence on college campuses across the country, a new report details how universities can pair the work of these critical hubs aimed at improving teaching and student success in STEM fields with their Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs). The Collaborating at the Center report presents key recommendations on ways these two distinct types of campus-based centers can work more closely to further national STEM education improvement efforts.

Many universities have developed innovative strategies to increase participation of underrepresented groups in STEM and biomedical science fields. This report reviews existing evidence for university diversity strategies, identifies key research gaps, and proposes concrete research actions to improve the evidence base for successful interventions. The results of these actions, if pursued, have the potential to transform the way universities do business, increasing investment in practices that work and helping leaders phase out those that do not.
