REU Site: Mellon College Science Summer Scholars Program at Carnegie Mellon University

这个REU网站奖给卡内基梅隆大学，梅隆科学学院，在匹兹堡，宾夕法尼亚州，将支持参加数学科学或物理项目的四名学者的培训八周和六名学者在生物学，化学，或计算项目10周在2023年至2026年的夏天。预计共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体，将在该方案中接受培训。除了进行独立的研究项目，学者参加专业发展和社区建设活动由部门和科学的梅隆大学的多样性，公平和包容性办公室组织。学者们还能够扩大他们的日常节目之外的网络，因为他们居住在一起。其目标是让学者发展能够跟上技术发展步伐的当代技能。通过促进跨学科合作来研究科学问题，该计划的校友不仅能够处理真实的世界问题，而且还能够成为解决方案。该计划的目标是：a）增加学者获得有关研究生院，科学研究，会议会议和其他与STEM研究有关的职业机会的信息; B）帮助学者建立专业网络，并在STEM研究空间内培养社区意识; c）提高学者对研究进行创造性思考的能力，并以跨学科和协作模式工作。学生在全国范围内招募ABRCMS/ SACNAS会议，通过外展访问，并通过口头通过前计划参与者和教师连接。每个部门负责自己的应用程序和选择过程与科学多样性，公平和包容性办公室的梅隆大学的输入。申请人进行全面评估，包括他们的个人和专业成就，以及情有可原的情况。该计划的核心是跨学科的经验。而学者们在他们所选择的学科中有着深厚的经验。在我们的课程中嵌入的是学者扩大他们的个人和专业网络的机会。学者们在他们的学科之外合作，以解决问题，提高他们对所选领域的理解。当今科学的跨学科世界需要一系列的技能和想法的多样性，以在任何奋进中取得成功。多学科的加入使学者有更多的机会建立网络，并接触到反映不断增长的劳动力多样性的社区。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This REU Site award to Carnegie Mellon University, Mellon College of Science, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will support the training of four scholars participating in mathematical science or physics projects for eight weeks and six scholars working on biology, chemistry, or computational projects for 10 weeks during the summers of 2023-2026. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from under-represented groups, will be trained in the program. In addition to undertaking an independent research project, scholars participate in professional development and community building activities organized by departments and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office of Mellon College of Science. Scholars are also able to expand their networking outside of the daily programming as they reside together. The goal is for scholars to develop contemporary skillsets that can keep pace with developing technologies. By promoting interdisciplinary collaborations to investigate scientific questions, the program alumni will not only be able to handle real world problems but also be the solutions.The objectives of this program are to: a) increase scholars access to information about graduate school, scientific research, conference meetings, and other career opportunities with respect to STEM research; b) help scholars build professional networks and foster a sense of community within STEM research spaces; and c) improve scholars’ ability to think creatively about research, and to work in interdisciplinary and collaborative modes. Students are recruited nationally at ABRCMS/ SACNAS meetings, via outreach visits, and by word of-mouth via former program participants and faculty connections. Each department is responsible for their own application and selection process with input from the Mellon College of Science Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office. Applicants are holistically evaluated including their personal and professional accomplishments, and extenuating circumstances. The centerpiece of the program is the interdisciplinary experience. While scholars have deep experiences in their chosen discipline. Engrained in our curriculum are opportunities for scholars to expand their personal and professional networks. Scholars collaborate outside of their discipline to solve problems and improve their understanding of their chosen field. The current interdisciplinary world of today’s science requires a range of skills and diversity of ideas to succeed in any endeavor. The inclusion of multiple disciplines allows scholars to have more opportunities to network and gain exposure to a community reflective of the growing workforce diversity.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
