面对数十年的严重经济衰退，美国密歇根州底特律市正处于自我重塑的风口浪尖。该联盟由三所高等教育机构组成，其既定使命是为城市人口服务，并在振兴底特律都市区的健康、福利和经济机会方面拥有既得利益，这与生物医学劳动力多元化的国家目标相协同。本文的目的是描述底特律建筑研究增强 (ReBUILDetroit) 联盟的基本原理、方法和模型，作为学生、教师和机构发展的跨校园合作。 ReBUILDetroit 计划旨在通过教育和培训来自不同社会经济弱势背景的学生成为下一代生物医学研究人员，从而改变密歇根州底特律的高等教育文化。玛丽格罗夫学院、底特律梅西大学和韦恩州立大学成立了一个联盟，以创建和实施创新、循证和前沿的项目。具体内容包括：（1）大学预科暑期丰富经历； （2）利用研究协调网络（RCN）模式对生物、化学和社会科学目标基础课程进行跨机构课程重新设计； (3) 从大二学生开始，为 ReBUILDetroit Scholars 开展由教师指导的跨机构暑期研究项目。学生的成功支持包括有意和侵入性的指导、财政支持、教师的密切参与、持续举办的克服学术和非学术障碍的研讨会，以及整个联盟的队列建设活动。机构支持是项目创建和可持续性不可或缺的一部分，包括创建以教学、研究和指导方面的专业发展机会为基础的教师学习社区，以及在整个联盟内发展新颖的合作伙伴关系和加速管道规划。本文重点介绍了对学生学习、基于研究的课程开发以及创建机构间学习社区至关重要的高影响力实践的开发、实施和演变，这些实践是 ReBUILDetroit 的直接成果。我们在困难的经济环境中进行跨机构合作和资源利用，吸引了具有无数优势和挑战的高中学生，为大型城市中心的高等教育机构树立了典范，这些机构正在寻求劳动力多元化，并为不同人群之间的向上流动提供额外的机会。
Faced with decades of severe economic decline, the city of Detroit, Michigan (USA) is on the cusp or reinventing itself. A Consortium was formed of three higher education institutions that have an established mission to serve an urban population and a vested interest in the revitalization of the health, welfare, and economic opportunity in the Detroit metro region that is synergistic with national goals to diversify the biomedical workforce. The purpose of this article is to describe the rationale, approach, and model of the Research Enhancement for BUILDing Detroit (ReBUILDetroit) Consortium, as a cross-campus collaborative for students, faculty, and institutional development. The ReBUILDetroit program is designed to transform the culture of higher education in Detroit, Michigan by educating and training students from diverse and socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds to become the next generation of biomedical researchers. Marygrove College, University of Detroit Mercy, and Wayne State University established a Consortium to create and implement innovative, evidence-based and cutting-edge programming. Specific elements include: (1) a pre-college summer enrichment experience; (2) an inter-institutional curricular re-design of target foundational courses in biology, chemistry and social science using the Research Coordination Network (RCN) model; and (3) cross-institutional summer faculty-mentored research projects for ReBUILDetroit Scholars starting as rising sophomores. Student success support includes intentional and intrusive mentoring, financial support, close faculty engagement, ongoing workshops to overcome academic and non-academic barriers, and cohort building activities across the Consortium. Institutional supports, integral to program creation and sustainability, include creating faculty learning communities grounded in professional development opportunities in pedagogy, research and mentorship, and developing novel partnerships and accelerated pipeline programming across the Consortium. This article highlights the development, implementation and evolution of high-impact practices critical for student learning, research-based course development, and the creation of inter-institutional learning communities as a direct result of ReBUILDetroit. Our cross-institutional collaboration and leveraging of resources in a difficult economic environment, drawing students from high schools with a myriad of strengths and challenges, serves as a model for higher education institutions in large, urban centers who are seeking to diversify their workforces and provide additional opportunities for upward mobility among diverse populations.
