This project is supporting a new cohort of Meyerhoff scholars who have demonstrated financial need and are majoring in programs offered by the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences (CNMS) - comprised of the departments of Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics/Statistics, and Physics. The project is seeking to retain 90% of these students in CNMS majors into the junior year. Furthermore, the project expects each scholar to complete at least one summer of significant research activity by the beginning of the junior year, with at least 70% of these students entering graduate or professional school at the time of their graduation. The merit of the project rests on its grounding in the almost two decades old Meyerhoff Program at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). Outcomes and process evaluation and research are being conducted by the original evaluation team for the Meyerhoff Program. The project's broader impacts are being felt through the significant increase in the number of underrepresented minority science and math Ph.D. candidates that is expected. The strong track record of the Meyerhoff Program supports this ambitious goal.

该项目正在支持一批新的迈耶霍夫学者，他们已经证明了经济需求，并主修自然与数学科学学院（CNMS）提供的课程-由生物学，生物化学和分子生物学，化学，数学/统计学和物理学系组成。该项目旨在将CNMS专业90%的学生保留到大三。此外，该项目预计每个学者在大三开始时完成至少一个夏季的重要研究活动，其中至少70%的学生在毕业时进入研究生或专业学校。该项目的优点在于它在马里兰州巴尔的摩县大学（UMBC）近二十年的迈耶霍夫计划的基础上。Meyerhoff方案的原始评估小组正在进行成果和过程评估和研究。该项目的更广泛的影响是通过显着增加人数不足的少数民族科学和数学博士。候选人是预期的。Meyerhoff计划的良好记录支持了这一雄心勃勃的目标。
