The Gateways to Science Careers (G2SC) program is designed to provide undergraduate students with access to innovative science and mathematics education research. As a Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) site at Stanford University, this project would place 15 students per year in a summer training program and mentoring project that involves two primary activities. First, students will work as research assistants in three STEM education laboratories. G2SC will recruit students from across the nation to participate in the program, with particular focus on recruiting African-American students and through a collaborative effort with Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Second, students will receive year-long training and mentoring regarding graduate admissions. The objective of this project is to provide students mentoring and apprenticeship programs that will support their interest in STEM education careers. The students' participation in research and publishing in STEM education has the potential to help build capacity for participation of underrepresented groups in STEM education research.The G2SC program intends to impact the way students interested in STEM careers envision themselves as members of the STEM education community. Through their direct research with leading African-American scholars in STEM education and their research groups, the participating students will be engaged in authentic apprenticeships that extend beyond a summer academy into the academic year. By offering this program to 15 students per year, the goal is to assist 45 students towards careers in science and mathematics education research. The broader impact of this project involves its capacity to provide a model for the recruitment and training of STEM education researchers. This project has the potential to produce 45 STEM educators and education researchers. The REU site and the research associated with this project may also provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of pipeline programs.

科学职业之门（G2SC）计划旨在为本科生提供创新的科学和数学教育研究。作为斯坦福大学的本科生研究经验（REU）网站，该项目将每年安排15名学生参加暑期培训计划和指导项目，其中包括两个主要活动。首先，学生将在三个STEM教育实验室担任研究助理。G2SC将招募来自全国各地的学生参加该计划，特别注重招募非洲裔美国学生，并通过与历史上的黑人学院和大学的合作努力。第二，学生将接受为期一年的培训和指导有关研究生入学。该项目的目标是为学生提供指导和学徒计划，以支持他们对STEM教育事业的兴趣。学生参与STEM教育的研究和出版有可能帮助代表性不足的群体参与STEM教育研究。G2SC计划旨在影响对STEM职业感兴趣的学生将自己视为STEM教育社区成员的方式。通过他们与STEM教育领域领先的非洲裔美国学者及其研究小组的直接研究，参与的学生将参与真正的学徒制，这种学徒制将从夏季学院延伸到学年。通过每年向15名学生提供该计划，目标是帮助45名学生从事科学和数学教育研究。该项目更广泛的影响涉及其为STEM教育研究人员的招聘和培训提供模式的能力。该项目有可能培养出45名STEM教育工作者和教育研究人员。REU现场和与该项目相关的研究也可以提供有关管道计划有效性的证据。
