This proposal describes a two-year pilot to establish an academic year, two-year college (2YC) Research Experiences for Undergraduates site and build a 2YC-4YC support network and pipeline. This is a collaborative project between William Rainey Harper College (WRHC) and Harold Washington College (HWC). Thomas Dowd (WRHC) and Thomas Higgins (HWC) are the PIs for this project, and Co-PIs Roger House (WRHC) and Daniel Stanford (WRHC) assist them. The specific goals of this project are: (1) to provide 12 2YC undergraduates with authentic, on-campus, academic-year research experiences mentored by 2YC faculty. Six students will participate each project year; (2) to assess the impact of the research experience on students' attitudes, skills and likelihood of future study and employment in STEM fields; (3) to provide professional development opportunities for 2YC faculty by giving them the opportunity and resources to re-connect with their disciplinary research interests, and; (4) to build a network of local and regional 4YCs that will collaborate with 2YC faculty and can provide 2YC students with summer research experiences. WRHC is a comprehensive 2YC located in Palatine, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois with an annual enrollment of over 25,000 students (4,000 full-time and 21,000 part-time). Almost 3,000 students enroll in science classes each semester with 41% of the student population coming from traditionally underrepresented groups (58% female; 17% Hispanic, 14% Asian/Pacific Islander, 3% Black, and 7% other). HWC is a one of the City Colleges of Chicago and is a Minority Serving Institution with an annual enrollment of over 11,000 students (5,000 full-time and 6,000 part-time). Over 500 students enroll in science classes each semester with 62% of the student population coming from traditionally underrepresented groups (57% female; 44% Black, 18% Hispanic, 12% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 3% other). Because of the diversity of both institutions, it is highly likely that a significant number of the students involved in the project will be from under-represented groups.

该提案描述了一个为期两年的试点，以建立一个学年，为期两年的大学（2 YC）研究经验的本科生网站，并建立一个2 YC-4 YC支持网络和管道。这是威廉雷尼哈珀学院（WRHC）和哈罗德华盛顿学院（HWC）之间的合作项目。托马斯多德（WRHC）和托马斯希金斯（HWC）是该项目的PI，共同PI罗杰豪斯（WRHC）和丹尼尔斯坦福大学（WRHC）协助他们。本计画的具体目标为：（1）提供十二位二年制本科生在二年制教师指导下，真实的校内学术研究经验。每个项目年将有六名学生参加;（2）评估研究经验对学生的态度、技能以及未来在STEM领域学习和就业的可能性的影响;（3）为2 YC教师提供专业发展机会，让他们有机会和资源重新与他们的学科研究兴趣联系起来;（4）建立一个本地和区域4 YC网络，与2 YC教师合作，为2 YC学生提供暑期研究经验。WRHC是一个综合性的2 YC位于Palatine，伊利诺伊州，芝加哥的郊区，伊利诺伊州与超过25，000名学生（4，000全日制和21，000兼职）的年度招生。每学期有近3,000名学生报名参加科学课程，其中41%的学生来自传统上代表性不足的群体（58%为女性; 17%为西班牙裔，14%为亚洲/太平洋岛民，3%为黑人，7%为其他）。HWC是芝加哥的城市学院之一，是一个少数民族服务机构，每年招收超过11，000名学生（5，000名全日制和6，000名兼职）。每学期有500多名学生报名参加科学课程，其中62%的学生来自传统上代表性不足的群体（57%为女性; 44%为黑人，18%为西班牙裔，12%为亚洲/太平洋岛民，3%为其他）。由于这两个机构的多样性，参与该项目的学生很可能来自代表性不足的群体。
