Emerging Researchers National (ERN) Conference in STEM

历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科项目资助了旨在扩大科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域学生参与的会议，这些学生来自这些学科中代表性较低的群体。为此，美国科学促进会(AAAS)将于2017年、2018年和2019年在STEM举办新兴研究人员全国会议。会议将主要包括来自国家科学基金会(NSF)以下项目的本科生和研究生：历史黑人学院和大学本科项目、Louis Stokes少数民族参与联盟、科学和技术卓越研究中心、研究生教育联盟和教授、部落学院和大学项目以及本科生研究经验。然而，任何希望参加会议的学生都被鼓励申请。据估计，每年参加会议的人数为1000人，其中包括650名学生和350名教职员工和管理人员。与大多数其他专业学会不同的是，这次会议允许在所有NSF支持的学科中发表演讲，以及在跨学科和跨学科研究领域的演讲。为期三天的会议将包括本科生和研究生海报和口头演示；全体会议，STEM专业人员讨论他们的教育和职业道路，以及在STEM劳动力中驾驭职业生涯的经验教训；研讨会，重点是申请和成功申请研究生项目和为研究生筹集资金的战略；以及职业准备研讨会，重点是就业搜索，计算和数据在科学中的使用，以及其他主题。其他会议特色包括来自政府、学术界和商界的参展商，他们将展示研究生项目、奖学金、夏季本科生研究项目、就业机会以及国际研究和教育机会。AAAS将为学生提供会议前和会议后的工具和资源。该项目以形成性和终结性评估以及咨询委员会为指导。该项目由以下计划共同资助：研究生教育和教授联盟、科学和技术卓越研究中心、路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟和部落学院和大学计划。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program funds conferences that seek to broaden the participation of students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields from groups underrepresented in those disciplines. To this end, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) will hold the Emerging Researchers National Conference in STEM in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The conference will primarily include undergraduate and graduate students from the following programs at the National Science Foundation (NSF): Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program, Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation, Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology, Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate, Tribal Colleges and Universities Program and Research Experiences for Undergraduates. However, any student wishing to participate in the conference, is encouraged to apply. Estimated annual conference participation is 1,000, including 650 students and 350 faculty and administrators. This conference, unlike those of most other professional societies, allows for presentations in all NSF supported disciplines, as well as presentations in interdisciplinary and crossdisciplinary areas of study. The three-day conference will include undergraduate and graduate student posters and oral presentations; plenary sessions that feature STEM professionals discussing their educational and career pathways and lessons learned about navigating a career in the STEM workforce; workshops focused on strategies for applying for and succeeding in graduate programs and finding funding for graduate school; and career preparation workshops focused on employment searches, use of computing and data in science, and other topics. Other conference features include exhibitors from government, academia, and business who will showcase graduate programs, fellowships, summer undergraduate research programs, employment opportunities, and international research and education opportunities. AAAS will provide pre-and post conference tools and resources for the students. The project is guided by formative and summative evaluation; as well by an advisory board.The project is co-funded by the following programs: Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate, Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology, Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation, and Tribal Colleges and Universities Programs.
