Abstract This application requests support for B2-CARS, two 2-week, residential summer enrichment programs (two cohort of students) at Delaware State University that combines hands-on explorations in chemistry, biology, and bioinformatics with laboratory research activities through the lens of natural resources. This project will offer 32 motivated middle school students from under-represented groups an opportunity to integrate and apply concepts from these disciplines to problem solving. The long-term goal of the project is to increase the number of minority students and women entering college majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), thereby addressing the problem of under-representation of minorities in these fields. Our goal in this project is to enhance our participants’ educational experience in a way that increases their enjoyment of and comfort with STEM, and helps them understand and solve problems in a broad array of disciplines including life science and medicine. We expect that the B2-CARS experience will encourage and prepare participants to move forward to college majoring in STEM disciplines and increase their awareness of the importance of protecting natural resources.

摘要 此应用程序请求支持B2-汽车，两个为期2周的住宿夏季充实计划（两个 一群学生）在特拉华州州立大学，结合化学，生物学， 以及通过自然资源的透镜开展实验室研究活动的生物信息学。这个项目 将为32名来自代表性不足群体的积极中学生提供一个融入社会的机会， 并将这些学科的概念应用于解决问题。该项目的长期目标是 增加少数民族学生和妇女进入科学、技术、 工程和数学（STEM），从而解决代表性不足的问题， 少数民族在这些领域。我们在这个项目中的目标是提高我们的参与者的教育经验， 一种增加他们对STEM的享受和舒适感的方式，并帮助他们理解和解决 包括生命科学和医学在内的广泛学科的问题。我们希望B2-汽车 经验将鼓励和准备参与者向前迈进，在干主修大学 加强对自然资源保护的认识，提高对自然资源保护的认识。
