Institutional BackgroundCentral State University (CSU) is a public owned undergraduate Historical Black University(HBCU). CSU has recently received the 1890 Land Grant Institution designation and movingfrom a teaching emphasized institution towards a research based undergraduate institution. Tosmooth the transition, faculty at CSU are encouraged to carry out interdisciplinary undergraduateresearch activities to offer CSU students a distinctive research based college learning experience.These activities are also expected to further engage and prepare students for post-graduationeducation and career.Over the past ten years, CSU has experienced full time enrolled (FTE) student populationdecreased by 24% from 2,322 in 2011 to 1,761 in 2017, and then slowly

and has invited the AGEP-NC Fellows to participate. Another University has embarked on an initiative to improve the research climate on campus by training graduate faculty who seek to be better research mentors using the evidence-based practices of the CIMER Institute (Center for Improved Mentoring Experiences in Research) at the University of Wisconsin. At another university, the Graduate College, and Academic Teaching and Learning Center are collaborating on developing a sustainable program of online and in-person faculty mentor training based on CIMER resources.2) At one university, the College of Sciences has invited the AGEP-NC leadership to work with their newly-formed task force on climate in research laboratories.3
