Georgia Tech ESTEEMED

需要教育、培训和培养传统上在科学界代表性较低的学者 而工程学在美国为下一次生物医学知识革命奠定了坚实的基础。至 加强生物医学劳动力的多样性，佐治亚理工学院(GT)是一项综合计划和流水线，旨在 为在STEM领域攻读博士或医学/博士学位的人数不足的学生做好准备，重点是生物医学 工程学，然后作为一名生物医学研究人员出类拔萃。我们将提供工具来克服这些障碍，并 为完成博士学位奠定基础。目标1.灌输科学探究和研究 很早就有了心态。GT尊敬的学者们很早就会被淹没，而且往往会有积极的研究经验， 点对点指导和目标驱动的队列，以建立与博士和研究事业的支持网络 目标。目标2：通过促进多个教职员工，消除学生和教授之间的感知障碍- 在一对一和小组环境中进行学者互动，以促进讨论、职业建议和 建立牢固的关系。目标3：培训GT尊敬的学者探索困难的、开放的- 结束，多学科问题和沟通这些结果。成功的重要技能集 从事研究工作。我们将通过以下举措奠定这一基础：1)挑战，夏季桥牌项目 在大一之前，教授学者计算机科学、化学和微积分的住宿计划。2) Pre-Challenges初夏计划专为尊敬的学者团队建设，与 积极研究教授，沉浸在以问题为基础的学习研究经验中。3)学年 活动将包括签到环节，融入研究实验室小组，一位受人尊敬的学者领导的期刊 俱乐部、博客体验等职业发展活动。4)暑期调研体验 佐治亚理工学院的暑期本科生研究体验(Sure)，该项目的成功率为75% 就读研究生院。5)三年级进入LSAMP研究轨道和小本科生 研究学者高级荣誉计划，提供持续的专业发展和 继续从事研究的津贴。佐治亚理工学院是唯一适合运行该项目并准备 尊敬的学者S博士。生物医学工程系本科生排名第一 (2017年美国新闻与世界报道)，GT在增加多样性和拓宽方面有着良好的记录 在非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人的本科毕业中，参与度排名第二 工程学学位的人数排名第一，而拥有工程学研究生学位的人数比例较低的群体排名第一。团队成员 调查人员是一名终身教职的非裔美国男性(Platt)，一名终身教职跟踪四肢瘫痪的助理教授 (Mitchell)，以及教育创新工程助理院长(Newstetter)。它们的互补性 经验、网络和专业知识使他们为实现招聘和指导的目标做好了准备 代表不足的学生和残疾学生成功完成博士学位和研究事业。

The need to educate, train, and cultivate scholars from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering in the United States for the next revolution in biomedical knowledge is well-established. To enhance diversity in biomedical workforce, Georgia Tech (GT) ESTEEMED is an integrated plan and pipeline to prepare underrepresented students for a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in a STEM field with emphasis on biomedical engineering, then to excel as a biomedical researcher. We will provide tools to overcome these obstacles and set a foundation to achieve through to Ph.D. completion. Aim 1. Infuse scientific inquiry and research mindset early. GT ESTEEMED scholars will be submerged early and often with positive research experiences, peer-to-peer mentoring, and goal-driven cohorts, to build supportive networks with Ph.D. and research career goals. Aim 2: Eradicate perceived barriers between students and professors by facilitating multiple faculty- scholar interactions in one-on-one and small group settings to promote discussions, career advice, and establishment of strong relationships. Aim 3: Train GT ESTEEMED scholars in exploration of difficult, open- ended, multi-disciplinary problems and communications of those results. Important skillset for success in a research career. We will lay this foundation with these initiatives: 1) Challenge, a summer bridge program prior to freshman year teaching scholars computer science, chemistry, and calculus in a residential program. 2) Pre-Challenge early summer program exclusively for ESTEEMED scholar team-building, networking with research active professors, and immersion in problem-based learning research experiences. 3) Academic year activities will include check-in sessions, integration into research lab groups, an ESTEEMED scholar led journal club, blogging experiences, and other professional development activities. 4) Summer research experience in Georgia Tech's Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE), a program with 75% success rate of attending graduate school. 5) Junior year advancement into LSAMP Research Track and Petit Undergraduate Research Scholars Advanced Honors Programs that provide continued professional development and stipends for continued research engagement. Georgia Tech is uniquely suited to run this program and prepare ESTEEMED scholars to obtain Ph.D.'s. The biomedical engineering department is ranked #1 for undergraduates (2017 U.S. News & World Report), and GT has a strong record for increasing diversity and broadening participation being #2 in graduating African-Americans and Hispanic-American students with bachelor's engineering degrees and #1 for these underrepresented groups with graduate engineering degrees. Team of investigators are a tenured African-American male (Platt), a tenure-track quadriplegic assistant professor (Mitchell), and Assistant Dean of Engineering for Educational Innovation (Newstetter). Their complementary experience, networks, and expertise have prepared them to meet the goals of recruiting and mentoring underrepresented students and students with disabilities to successful Ph.D. completion and research careers.
