Emerging Researchers National (ERN) Conference in STEM

历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科生计划资助会议，旨在扩大学生在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的参与，这些学科的代表性不足。为此，美国科学促进会（AAAS）将于2017年、2018年和2019年举办STEM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：历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科生项目，路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟，科学技术卓越研究中心，研究生教育联盟和教授，部落学院和大学计划和本科生研究经验。然而，任何希望参加会议的学生，鼓励申请。估计年度会议参与人数为1,000人，包括650名学生和350名教职员工和管理人员。与大多数其他专业协会不同，这次会议允许在所有NSF支持的学科中进行演示，以及跨学科和跨学科研究领域的演示。为期三天的会议将包括本科生和研究生的海报和口头报告;全体会议的特点干专业人士讨论他们的教育和职业道路和经验教训导航在干劳动力的职业生涯;研讨会的重点是战略申请和成功的研究生课程和寻找研究生院的资金;职业准备讲习班侧重于求职、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，学术界和企业的参展商，他们将展示研究生课程，奖学金，夏季本科研究计划，就业机会以及国际研究和教育机会。AAAS将为学生提供会前和会后的工具和资源。该项目由形成性和总结性评估以及咨询委员会指导。该项目由以下项目共同资助：研究生教育和教授联盟、科学技术卓越研究中心、路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟以及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.
