STEM BUILD@UMBC: Overall Component

项目主任/首席调查员(末位、第一位、中位)：S、L、S 项目摘要--总体构成部分 提议的STEM Build{gUMBC倡议的目标是创建一个全面的、多维的 公立研究型大学增加所有背景的学生完成学业的模式 主修生物医学和行为科学，并进入研究生院和/或STEM劳动力市场。 通过国家认可的迈耶霍夫学者和MARC U*STAR计划以及其他倡议 专注于增加STEM中少数族裔的参与，UMBC的教职员工和管理人员已经了解到 关于在有抱负的STEM专业的学生中建立社区的重要性的关键教训，设置很高 期望，并为学生提供重要的研究经验和学术、财务和 社会支持。UMBC是全国公认的创新和包容性卓越的典范， 在以白人为主的大学中，校园在数量上是领先的，在所有大学中也是6* 在继续完成STEM博士学位的非裔美国人学士学位获得者中，三分之二 那些完成生命科学博士学位的校友(NSF，2013)。从现有的多样性倡议中吸取的教训 将为UMBC进一步将指导、支持和学生参与注入 本科学历经验。UMBC将投资于一系列教学创新，以促进 开发新的模式，让学生参与研究并将他们与导师联系起来，以及 为对生命科学感兴趣并有可能留在STEM的学生创建基于队列的课程 专业或大学毕业。该计划的评估部分将提供机会，最大限度地 Build@UMBC倡议的有效性，并发布关于帮助的最佳战略的调查结果 更多的学生在STEM领域取得成功。UMBC的基础设施投资将扩大 大学向面临STEM减员危险的学生提供高水平支持的能力 可扩展、可持续和可复制的干预措施。具体地说，全面、长期的NRSA 要求为80名建筑实习生提供支持，并要求为最多90名学生提供短期夏季每小时支持 在这一倡议中从合作机构建立附属机构。 相关性(请参阅说明)： STEM Build(gUMBC计划)基于这样一个前提，即来自所有国家的大量学生 背景有能力在生命科学领域出类拔萃，并作为 这个国家的科学工作者。在现有的学生参与和成功模式的基础上， 该计划将提供对创新实践的重要见解，以帮助广泛的学生取得成功。

Program Director/Principal Investigator (Last, First, Middle): R o U S , P h i l i p J a m e S PROJECT SUMMARY - Overall Component The goal ofthe proposed STEM BUILD{gUMBC initiative is to create a comprehensive, multidimensional model for a public research university to increase the number of students from all backgrounds completing majors in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and entering graduate school and/or the STEM workforce. Through the nationally recognized Meyerhoff Scholars and MARC U*STAR programs, and other initiatives focused on increasing minority participation in STEM, UMBC faculty, staff, and administrators have learned key lessons about the importance of building community among aspiring STEM majors, setting high expectations, and providing students with significant research experiences and academic, financial, and social support. UMBC is nationally recognized as a model of innovation and inclusive excellence, and the campus is the leader among predominantly white institutions - and 6* among all universities - in the number of African American bachelor's degree recipients who go on to complete STEM Ph.D.s, with two-thirds of those alumni completing Ph.D.s in the life sciences (NSF, 2013). Lessons from existing diversity initiatives will inform UMBC's efforts to further infuse mentoring, support, and student engagement into the undergraduate degree experience. UMBC will invest in a range of pedagogical innovations promoting "active learning," develop new models for engaging students in research and connecting them with mentors, and create a cohort-based program for students interested in the life sciences and at risk for retention in STEM majors or college completion. The program's evaluation component will provide opportunities to maximize effectiveness of BUILD@UMBC initiatives and to publish findings regarding optimal strategies for helping significantly more students succeed in STEM areas. Infrastructure investments at UMBC will expand the university's capacity to provide a high level support to students in jeopardy of attrition from STEM through interventions that are scalable, sustainable, and reproducible. Specifically, comprehensive, long-term NRSA support is requested for 80 BUILD Trainees and short-term summer hourly support is requested for up to 90 BUILD Affiliates from partner institutions in this initiative. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The STEM BUILD(gUMBC initiative is based on the premise that large numbers of students from all backgrounds have the capacity to excel in the life sciences and make valuable contributions as members of the country's scientific workforce. Building on existing models for student engagement and success, the initiative will provide important insights into innovative practices to help a broad range of students succeed.
