Scholars in Math and Science (SIMS), a program to enhance diversity in the sciences.

该项目名为“数学和科学学者”(SIMS)，旨在解决STEM和卫生科学领域少数群体代表性不足的问题。两组六到八名学生获得奖学金；第一组为期四年，第二组为期三年，最后一年由学校支付。在全面文献回顾的基础上，为确保招生和成功，我们采取了七项关键行动。这些是(1)在指导顾问和地区免费诊所的帮助下在合作高中进行目标招聘，(2)新生入学前介绍和一年级研讨会，(3)高中和大学之间的桥梁计划，(4)指导、研究或实习经验，(5)辅导，在这种情况下，同伴主导的学习课程，如普通和有机化学，物理和微积分，(6)职业咨询和认识，以及(7)经济援助。更广泛的影响是，与学者项目相同课程的学生从相同的支助服务中受益，这一项目的结果正在以专业方式传播。

This project, the Scholars in Math and Science (SIMS), addresses the continued under representation of minorities in both the STEM and health science fields. Two cohorts of six to eight students are granted scholarships; the first group for four years and the second for three years with the last year paid for by the school. Based on a comprehensive literature review, seven key actions are done to ensure student recruitment and success. These are (1) target recruitment at partnering high schools with help from guidance counselors and at the area free clinic, (2) pre-freshman orientation and first-year seminar, (3) a bridge program between high school and college, (4) mentoring, research or internship experience, (5) tutoring, in this case peer led learning sessions for gateway courses such as general and organic chemistry, physics and calculus, (6) career counseling and awareness, and (7) financial assistance. The broader impacts are that students in the same courses as the Scholars benefit from the same support services and the results of this project are being professionally disseminated.
