UMEB: Introducing Students to Conservation Genetics and Environmental Science: A Collaboration Among St. Francis College, Medgar Evers College & American Museum of Natural Hist

0203433 DeSalleThis UMEB项目旨在提高两所纽约市大学中代表性不足群体的学生的参与度，让他们与大学和美国自然历史博物馆的科学家合作，参与保护遗传学和环境科学的实践研究项目。 为了实现这一目标，每年将从每个学院招募4-6名学生，学生将在两年的时间内进行研究项目。 在学年期间，研究将在家庭校园进行。 在冬歇期和夏季，研究将在美国自然历史博物馆进行。 这些学生将作为核心，让其他学生参与整个大都会地区的环境项目。 这个UMEB项目将让学生参加分子生物学技术研讨会，人口生物学研讨会以及提供研究生院和职业指导的研讨会。 学生将得到密切的指导和他们的进展监测和评估，以帮助他们成为我们未来的科学家在环境生物学，并以开发能够扩大在环境生物学的职业生涯参与额外的程序。

0203433DeSalleThis UMEB project seeks to increase the participation of students from under-represented groups at two New York City colleges by engaging them in hands-on research projects in conservation genetics and environmental science in collaboration with scientists at their colleges and at the American Museum of Natural History. In order to accomplish this, each year a cohort of 4-6 students from each college will be recruited and the students will conduct research projects over a two year period. During the academic year, the research will be done on the home campuses. Over the winter breaks and summers, research will be conducted at the American Museum of Natural History. These students will serve as a nucleus to get other students involved in environmental projects throughout the metropolitan area. This UMEB project will involve students in workshops in molecular biology techniques, seminars in population biology, and workshops that provide graduate school and career guidance. The students will be closely mentored and their progress monitored and assessed in order to help them become our future scientists in environmental biology and in order to develop additional programs capable of broadening participation in careers in environmental biology.
