RESEARCH ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES PROJECT

布朗克斯社区的研究充实计划（REAP）的目标 大学是为了增加代表性不足的少数民族学生的数量 熟悉并有动力从事生物医学研究 careers.为此，REAP的一个主要目标是增加 布朗克斯社区学院（BCC）少数民族毕业生谁继续 本科生和研究生生物医学研究相关教育， 最终在生物医学研究中心达到顶峰。REAP的具体目标是 为合格和积极的少数民族学生提供一套不同的 补充经验，使人们了解 生物医学研究的方法、挑战、机遇和回报。 参与者将成为同行和教师社区的一部分， 学术和社会支持，当职业选择是 正在制作。预计，这三个相辅相成的部分， REAP，（1）激励研究经验，（2）研讨会经验，以及 (3)前期的研究经验，将作为基础，更好地 准备学生参与生物医学研究。模拟 研究经验将向学生介绍科学方法， 技术以及与研究相关的模拟。学生将 介绍了研究规划和项目选择，科学 文献检索和综述，科学论文的章节和方法 展示科学发现。研讨会的经验将 为REAP学生提供现场体验的机会 信息交流，包括问答部分。此外，本发明还 学生们将与少数民族科学家接触， 目前MBRS的学生，谁可以作为榜样，和科学 整个社区。研讨会的经验将包括出席 地方和区域专题讨论会以及一次全国会议。的 探索性的研究经验将允许学生参与， 暑期校外研究经历这将使学生 参与已建立的研究密集型生物医学研究 laboratories. 扩展的REAP组件的目标是证明持续的研究 相关的机会，BCC的学生谁已经完成了REAP，但有 尚未毕业，并且无法找到可用职位的人 其他来源资助的实验室。扩展的REAP由（1） 持续的参与性研究经验;（2）持续的 座谈会经验。

The goal of the Research Enrichment Program (REAP) at Bronx Community College is to increase the number of underrepresented minority students that become acquainted with and motivated to pursue biomedical research careers. To that end, a major objective of REAP is to increase the pool of Bronx Community College (BCC) minority graduates who continue undergraduates and graduate biomedical research-related education, culminating in biomedical research centers. The specific aim of REAP is to provide qualified and motivated minority students with a varied set of complementary experiences which provide an understanding of the methodology, challenges, opportunities and rewards in biomedical research. Participants will be part of a community of peers and faculty offering both academic and social support during times when career choices are being made. It is anticipated that the three complementary segments of REAP, (1) Stimulated Research Experience, (2) Symposium Experience, and (3) Participatory Research Experience, will serve as the basis to better prepare students to participate in biomedical research. The Simulated Research Experience will introduce students to scientific methods and technique as well as research-related simulations. Students will be introduced to research planning and project selecting, scientific literature search and review, sections of a scientific paper and methods of presentation of scientific findings. The Symposium Experience will provide the REAP students with the opportunity to experience live information exchanges, with a question and answer component. Additionally, the students will come in contact with minority scientists, prior and current MBRS students, who can serve as role models, and the scientific community at large. The Symposium Experience will include attendance at local and regional symposium and one national conference. The Participatory Research Experience will permit students to engage in on and off-campus research experience during the summer. This will allow students to participate in biomedical research in established research intensive laboratories. The goal of the extended REAP component is to prove continued research related opportunities to BCC students who have completed REAP, but have not yet graduated, and who have not ben able to find available positions in laboratories funded by other source. Extended REAP is composed of (1) a continued participatory research experience, and (2) a continued symposium experience.
