The Horse H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies, the College of Engineering, and the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan hereby apply for $1,149,642 under the Research Careers for Minority Scholars Program. These funds will be used to conduct the University of michigan Research Careers for Minority Scholars (UM-RCMS) Programs, a program of undergraduate research, faculty mentoring, and related support activities to identify highly talented students who are from minority groups underrepresented in science, engineering, and mathematics and encourage them to pursue doctoral study in these fields. The UM-RCMS program will annually appoint twenty students as UM- RCMS Scholars. Ten of these students will be from the Ann Arbor Campus undergraduate program; the others will be visitors invited from Historically Black, Hispanic-serving, or Native American- serving Universities, or from colleges and universities serving large proportions of students from these underrepresented populations. A unique aspect of the proposed UM-RCMS program is the Scientific Executive Committee, composed of a distinguished group of minority faculty with exceptional science research credentials and Associate Deans from the three sponsoring units. The Scientific Executive Committee, will oversee the RCMS Scholars Program and engage in all decisions regarding its execution, including selection of the students who will be designated as UM-RCMS Scholars each year and selecting research mentors most appropriate for these students. The primary direct benefits will be an increase in research and mentoring opportunities for talented students. 1. Um-RCMS will provide a forty percent increase in the available placements for visiting students in our Summer Research program, most of which are now directed toward SEM field. 2. UM-RCMS will permit a doubling of the full year placements available for University of Michigan undergraduate students in Science, Engineering and Mathematics, and the opening of such positions for the first time to juniors and seniors in SEM fields such as Geology, Astronomy, Biology, and Economics. 3. UM-RCMS will enable the University to make a significant increase in the duration and quality of the research and mentoring experience available to the most talented students in the SEM fields. Extended benefits will be realized by faculty and students at the University of Michigan, by the University as a whole and the communities it serves, and by colleges and Universities which have joined in partnerships with the University in order to increase the diversity of this nation's academic and scientific community.

密歇根大学 Horse H. Rackham 研究生学院、工程学院以及文学、科学和艺术学院特此在少数族裔学者研究职业计划下申请 1,149,642 美元。 这些资金将用于开展密歇根大学少数族裔学者研究职业计划（UM-RCMS），该计划包括本科生研究、教师指导和相关支持活动，旨在识别来自科学、工程和数学领域代表性不足的少数族裔的高素质学生，并鼓励他们在这些领域攻读博士学位。 UM-RCMS 项目每年将任命 20 名学生作为 UM-RCMS 学者。 其中十名学生将来自安娜堡校区本科课程；其他人将是来自历史悠久的黑人、西班牙裔或美洲原住民服务的大学，或来自为这些弱势群体的大部分学生提供服务的学院和大学邀请的访客。 拟议的 UM-RCMS 项目的一个独特之处是科学执行委员会，由一群具有杰出科学研究资历的杰出少数族裔教师和来自三个赞助单位的副院长组成。 科学执行委员会将监督 RCMS 学者计划并参与有关其执行的所有决策，包括每年选择被指定为 UM-RCMS 学者的学生以及选择最适合这些学生的研究导师。 主要的直接好处将是增加有才华的学生的研究和指导机会。 1. Um-RCMS 将为访问学生提供夏季研究项目的可用实习机会增加 40%，其中大部分现在针对 SEM 领域。 2. UM-RCMS 将使密歇根大学科学、工程和数学本科生的全年名额增加一倍，并首次向地质学、天文学、生物学和经济学等 SEM 领域的大三和大四学生开放此类职位。 3. UM-RCMS 将使大学能够为 SEM 领域最有才华的学生提供研究和指导经验的持续时间和质量。 密歇根大学的教职员工和学生、整个大学及其所服务的社区以及与大学建立伙伴关系以增加该国学术和科学界多样性的学院和大学都将获得更多的利益。
