项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of our proposed program, "Undergraduate Research Program to Promote Diversity" at Columbia University Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) Department in the Mailman School of Public Health, is to increase the pool of students from underrepresented populations who are interested in pursuing graduate degrees in environmental health sciences. While programs, such as IMSD, exist to support diversity students at the doctoral level, the challenge has been to identify qualified candidates from diverse backgrounds among those that apply to environmental health sciences graduate programs. To accomplish this we need to capture the interest of a wider group of students while they are still undergraduates and to further nurture those students who have shown an interest in EHS. We propose to accomplish this by involving undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds in a two year mentored research program. The program will include not only hands-on research with EHS faculty, but also seminars from faulty in EHS as well as doctoral candidates. We will provide students with training in professionalism, mentoring throughout their two years in the program and guidance with the graduate school application process. Undergraduates will be identified in collaboration with faculty at John Jay College, part of the City University of New York school system that is recognized as both a minority and Hispanic serving institution by the US Department of Education

描述（由适用提供）：邮政公共卫生学院的哥伦比亚大学环境健康科学（EHS）部门的“促进多样性的本科研究计划”的目的是增加对从事环境健康科学领域的研究生学士学位感兴趣的人群的学生库。尽管IMSD之类的计划为支持博士学位的多元化学生而存在，但挑战是在适用于环境健康科学研究生课程的计划中确定来自潜水员背景的合格候选人。为了实现这一目标，我们需要在他们仍然是大学生的同时吸引更广泛的学生的兴趣，并进一步护理那些对EHS感兴趣的学生。我们建议通过涉及该计划的代表性不足的本科生来实现这一目标，这不仅包括与EHS教师的动手研究，还包括来自EHS Frife的精确研究以及博士候选人。我们将为学生提供专业培训，在计划中的两年内指导他们的研究生院申请过程。本科生将与约翰·杰伊学院的教职员工合作，该学院的一部分是纽约市学校系统的一部分
