CAMPARE and Cal-Bridge: Promoting Participation of Women and Underrepresented Students in Astronomy

CAMPARE（加利福尼亚州-亚利桑那州少数民族天文学研究和教育合作伙伴关系）是一个旨在推动传统上在天文学中代表性不足的群体的本科天文学研究和教育的计划。 它得到了天文学和天体物理学研究与教育伙伴关系（PAARE）计划的支持。这一更新提案包括扩大CAMPARE并将其与Cal-Bridge计划整合的计划，该计划帮助来自加州州立大学校园的本科生过渡到加州大学的研究生课程之一。 除了招聘和安置代表性不足的少数民族，他们提供辅导，专业发展和行政服务，以协助和跟踪学生通过这些计划。 该计划通过积极招募来自加州州立大学校园的本科生，促进他们参与加州大学校园的天文研究和全国各地的本科生研究经验计划。 该提案小组已与许多少数民族服务，主要是位于西班牙裔人口爆炸性增长地区的本科院校建立了密切的联系，并与12个研究机构建立了密切的联系，这些研究机构有很强的本科生参与研究的记录。其目标是增加进入并完成天文学及相关领域博士课程的少数民族学生人数。

CAMPARE (California-Arizona Minority Partnership for Astronomy Research and Education) is a program established to advance undergraduate astronomy research and education among groups that are traditionally underrepresented in astronomy. It has been supported by the Partnerships in Astronomy and Astrophysics Research and Education (PAARE) program. This renewal proposal includes plans to expand CAMPARE and to integrate it with the Cal-Bridge program, which helps undergraduate students from California State University campuses make the transition to one of the University of California graduate programs. In addition to recruiting and placement of underrepresented minorities, they provide mentoring, professional development, and administrative services to assist and track students making their way through these programs. The program does this by actively recruiting undergraduates from among the California State University campuses, promoting their participation in astronomical research at University of California campuses and at Research Experiences for Undergraduates programs across the country. The proposal team has established close connections with many minority-serving, primarily undergraduate institutions located in a region of explosive growth in Hispanic population, and with twelve research institutions that have strong track records of involving undergraduates in research. The goal is to increase the numbers of students from underrepresented minorities that enter and complete PhD programs in astronomy and related fields.
