Planning a Collaborative Undergraduate Research Center at Boston University

该奖项来自化学系，用于资助本科生研究中心(URC)的规划拨款。私家侦探是斯坦迪什·哈特曼。共同参与调查的是波士顿大学的艾米·穆林、莎伦·普拉多和约翰·斯奈德，以及罗克斯伯里社区学院的雷蒙德·特纳。波士顿大学和罗克斯伯里社区学院之间的合作将开发一个项目，以扩大一年级和二年级学生的研究机会，并覆盖和包括在美国科学事业中代表性不足的不同学生群体。两个校区的交流研讨会将使学生接触到研究文化，并将他们纳入小组会议。8名学生将作为暑期实习生被介绍参加研究。将与潜在的城市资源中心合作伙伴举行会议，以探索将该计划的范围扩大到作为中心参与者的大波士顿地区的其他社区大学、四年制大学和高中的方法。

The award from the Chemistry Division supports an Undergraduate Research Centers(URC) planning grant. The PI is Standish Hartman. The co-PIs are Amy Mullin, Sharon Prado and John Snyder from Boston University, and Raymond Turner from Roxbury Community College. The collaboration between Boston University and Roxbury Community College will develop a program to expand research opportunities for first- and second- year students, and to reach and include diverse student populations that have been underrepresented in the nation's scientific enterprise. Exchange seminars at both campuses will expose students to the culture of research and include them in group meetings. Eight students will be introduced to research as summer interns. Meetings with prospective URC partners will be held to explore means for extending the scope of the program to other community colleges, four-year colleges and high schools in the Greater Boston area as participants in the Center.
