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

CAMPARE（加州-亚利桑那州少数族裔天文学研究与教育合作项目）是一个旨在推进天文学本科生研究和教育的项目，这些群体传统上在天文学领域的代表性不足。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。这项更新提案包括扩大CAMPARE并将其与加州桥项目整合的计划，该项目帮助加州州立大学校园的本科生过渡到加州大学的研究生项目之一。除了招募和安置未被充分代表的少数民族之外，他们还提供指导、专业发展和行政服务，以帮助和跟踪学生通过这些项目。该项目通过从加州州立大学校园中积极招募本科生来实现这一目标，促进他们参与加州大学校园的天文学研究和全国各地本科生研究经验项目。提案小组与许多少数族裔服务机构建立了密切联系，这些机构主要是位于西班牙裔人口爆炸性增长地区的本科院校，并与12家在本科生参与研究方面有着良好记录的研究机构建立了密切联系。其目标是增加未被充分代表的少数民族学生进入天文学和相关领域并完成博士课程的人数。

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.
