U-RISE at Brooklyn College

项目摘要 布鲁克林学院的U-RISE提案旨在通过提供 来自STEM历史上代表性不足的群体的个人，他们有准备，自信和自我， 有效追求研究生学习，并成功获得博士学位，并启动STEM职业生涯。 布鲁克林学院大约一半的学生有资格根据种族/民族或低收入标准获得U-RISE。 我们力争（1）98%的U-RISE学员获得学士学位（从100%调整，因为 大流行对纽约市的深刻影响）;（2）60%的U-RISE毕业生被录取进入博士学位 程序.其中，我们的目标是至少90%将完成博士学位。总的来说，我们的目标是 超过50%的U-RISE学员最终获得博士学位。 我们已经招募了29名教师，其中包括8名来自代表性不足的群体，担任 U-RISE导师。参与的导师深深致力于本科研究。学生将 在他们大二或大三的时候被招募到这个项目中。大约80名受训人员将在 这个项目的五年任期。 有意义的教师指导的研究经验是我们计划的核心。学员将参加 研究都在布鲁克林学院在学年和R1机构在夏季。 此外，学员将得到项目工作人员和教师的建议和指导。此外，他们将收到 研究设计，统计，负责任的研究行为，严谨性和可重复性，科学性 沟通、学习技能和学员责任等主题。我们还将开展活动， 促进全面的学生福祉（心理健康和社会支持，家庭参与）以及活动 用于专业发展。这个U-RISE计划将与其他本科研究协同 通过科学教育成就中心在校园内开展STEM项目。 布鲁克林学院U-RISE计划将在卓越的传统和广泛的活动基础上进行改进 由一个长期的MARC计划设置：（1）在培训的早期阶段招募学生，（2）培训 教师在指导实践和（3）支持重要的技能，如生物医学计算和科学 沟通，除此之外。

Project Summary Brooklyn College’s U-RISE proposal aims to increase the diversity of our science workforce by providing individuals from groups historically under-represented in STEM with the preparation, confidence and self- efficacy to pursue graduate studies and succeed in obtaining doctoral degrees and launching a STEM career. About half of Brooklyn College’s students are eligible for U-RISE based on race/ethnicity or low-income criteria. We strive for (1) 98% of U-RISE trainees to obtain baccalaureate degrees (adjusted from 100% because of the deep impact of the pandemic in New York City); (2) 60% of U-RISE graduates to matriculate into doctoral programs. Out of these, our objective is that at least 90% will complete their doctoral degrees. Overall, we aim for over 50% of our U-RISE trainees to eventually attain doctoral degrees. We have recruited 29 faculty members, including eight from under-represented groups themselves, to serve as U-RISE mentors. Participating mentors are profoundly committed to undergraduate research. Students will be recruited into the program in their sophomore or junior years. Approximately 80 trainees will be served over the five-year tenure of this program. Meaningful faculty-mentored research experiences are at the core of our program. Trainees will participate in research both at Brooklyn College during the academic year and at R1 institutions during the summer. Moreover, trainees will be advised and mentored by program staff as well as faculty. Further, they will receive instruction in research design, statistics, responsible conduct of research, rigor and reproducibility, scientific communication, study skills, and mentee responsibilities among other topics. We will also include activities to promote holistic student wellbeing (mental health and social support, family involvement) as well as activities for professional development. This U-RISE program will synergize with other undergraduate research programs in STEM on campus via the Center for Achievement in Science Education. The Brooklyn College U-RISE program will improve upon a tradition of excellence and a wide-array of activities set by a long-standing MARC program by: (1) recruiting students at earlier stages of training, (2) training faculty in mentorship practices and (3) supporting important skills such as biomedical computing and scientific communication, among others.
