BCC RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT ACTIVITIES PROGRAM

研究丰富活动计划（REAP）的目标是 增加少数民族在科学研究领域的人数。 关键 REAP的目标是增加布朗克斯社区学院的学生人数 (BCC)从事生物医学研究的少数民族毕业生。 的 具体目标是向合格的少数民族学生提供为期一年的教育， 各种互补的经验，提供了一个理解 生物医学领域的活动、挑战、机遇和回报 research. 学生将成为全年同龄人社区的一部分， 教师提供学术和社会支持期间， 正在做出重要的职业选择。 REAP由三个互补部分组成， 带学生通过一年的经验，涉及：1）模拟 研究经验，2）研讨会经验，和3）演示 研究经验。 模拟研究体验是 在其中，学生参与者体验与研究相关的模拟， 一个小团体/研讨会的设置。 这些模拟让他们通过 成为一名生物医学研究人员的过程。 主要 活动包括：1）假设形成，4）提案准备 和介绍。 模拟研究活动将得到加强， 研讨会经验和参与式研究经验。 的 研讨会经验是一个领域的组成部分，提供机会 角色建模和体验直接合同和信息 与少数民族科学家，目前MBRS参与者和 整个科学界。 这些活动包括出席， 参加科学专题讨论会以及地方和国家会议。 探索性研究经验是一个领域的组成部分， 在生物医学研究机构的暑期研究经验， 一个研究团队进行同行评审的研究项目。 REAP 2 Bridge组件的目标也是增加 研究科学中的少数民族。 主要目标是提供 继续研究相关的机会，毕业前为BCC 已完成REAP但有科学研究经验的学生 可能会因缺乏其他职位而中断， 资助的项目。 REAP 2桥接器由两个互补段组成 包括：1）持续的参与性研究经验，2） 继续研讨会的经验。

The goal of the Research Enrichment Activities Program (REAP) is to increase the number of minorities in the research sciences. The key objective of REAP is to increase the pool of Bronx Community College (BCC) minority graduates pursuing careers in biomedical research. The specific aim is to provide qualified minority students a year long and varied set of complementary experiences which provide an understanding of the activities, challenges, opportunities and rewards in biomedical research. Students will be part of a year-round community of peers and faculty offering both academic and social support during times when critical career choices are being made. REAP is composed of three complementary segments which are designed to take students through a one-year experience involving a:1) Simulated Research Experience, 2) Symposium Experience, and 3) Participatory Research Experience. The Simulated Research Experience is the component in which student participants experience research-related simulations in a small group/seminar setting. These simulations take them through the process involved in becoming a biomedical researcher. The main activities will be: 1) hypothesis formation, and 4) proposal preparation and presentation. The simulated research activity will be augmented by the symposium experience and the participatory research experience. The Symposium Experience is a field component which provides opportunities for role modeling and experiencing direct contract and information exchange with minority scientist, current MBRS participants and the scientific community at large. The activities include attendance at, and participation in, scientific symposia and local and national conferences. The Participatory Research Experience is a field component providing summer research experience in a biomedical research facility as part of a research team conducting peer reviewed research programs. The goal of the REAP2 Bridge component is also to increase the number of minorities in the research sciences. The key objective is to provide continued research related opportunities prior to graduation for BCC students who have completed REAP but whose science research experiences might be interrupted by the lack of available positions through other funded programs. REAP2 Bridge is composed of two complementary segments involving: 1) a continued participatory research experience, and 2) a continued symposium experience.
