项目摘要

This project proposal seeks to build and strengthen an existing program for high school students to perform mentored research during the summer, Brain Research Apprenticeships in New York at Columbia (BRAINYAC). Since 2013, BRAINYAC has trained and prepared 108 high school students from low-resourced neighborhoods in New York City for summer research experiences in neuroscience laboratories at Columbia University in the City of New York. We will provide high school students from underprivileged communities and/or who are under-represented minorities the necessary support for a competitive college application and insight into science research as a career choice. We propose to recruit students through partnerships with youth-serving programs and an inclusive application process. We aim to improve students’ scientific knowledge and confidence in key scientific skills through directed training, mentoring and research experience. We will achieve this via the two main parts of the program: (A) A comprehensive training program during the spring that incorporates parental involvement, training sessions focused on science content, critical thinking skills, and communication skills, and orientation sessions to assist students in choosing a mentor and laboratory. These sessions are co-developed and run by a scientist and a science educator. (B) Summer laboratory experiences combined with weekly advisory sessions, a final poster presentation and field trips including a social event and a professional development event at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). We aim to support our participants’ career development and college applications in STEM fields. We will achieve this through comprehensive support structure to work toward our goal of encouraging students to pursue studies and careers in STEM. We will track our success using a mixed-methods evaluation plan and an alumni engagement program including additional opportunities for alumni. In this way, we will reinforce our participants’ intent to pursue studies or careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

该项目提案旨在建立和加强一个现有的项目，供高中生在夏季进行指导研究，哥伦比亚大学纽约大脑研究学徒计划(BRAINYAC)。自2013年以来，BRAINYAC已经培训了108名来自纽约市资源匮乏社区的高中生，为他们在纽约市哥伦比亚大学神经科学实验室的夏季研究体验做好准备。我们将为来自贫困社区和/或代表不足的少数族裔的高中生提供必要的支持，帮助他们申请有竞争力的大学，并将科学研究作为职业选择。我们建议通过与青年服务项目的合作和包容性的申请程序来招收学生。我们的目标是通过定向培训、指导和研究经验来提高学生的科学知识和对关键科学技能的信心。我们将通过该计划的两个主要部分来实现这一目标：(A)春季的综合培训计划，其中包括家长的参与，重点是科学内容、批判性思维技能和沟通技能的培训课程，以及帮助学生选择导师和实验室的迎新课程。这些会议由一名科学家和一名科学教育工作者共同开发和运营。(B)暑期实验室体验与每周咨询会议、最后一次海报展示和实地考察相结合，包括在美国自然历史博物馆(AMNH)举办的一次社会活动和一次专业发展活动。我们的目标是支持学员在STEM领域的职业发展和大学申请。我们将通过全面的支持结构来实现这一点，努力实现我们的目标，即鼓励学生在STEM继续学习和就业。我们将使用混合方法评估计划和校友参与计划(包括为校友提供更多机会)来跟踪我们的成功。通过这种方式，我们将加强我们的参与者在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域学习或职业的意愿。
