 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（由申请人提供）：我们提出的计划，“本科生研究计划，以促进多样性”在哥伦比亚大学环境健康科学（EHS）部门在公共卫生的梅尔曼学院的目的，是增加来自代表性不足的人口谁有兴趣追求研究生学位的学生在环境健康科学的池。虽然程序，如IMSD，存在以支持在博士水平的多样性学生，挑战一直是确定合格的候选人来自不同背景的那些适用于环境健康科学研究生课程。为了实现这一目标，我们需要抓住更广泛的学生群体的兴趣，而他们仍然是本科生，并进一步培养那些对EHS感兴趣的学生。我们建议通过让来自代表性不足的背景的本科生参与为期两年的指导研究计划来实现这一目标。该计划不仅包括与EHS教师的实践研究，还包括EHS故障以及博士生的研讨会。我们将为学生提供专业培训，在两年的课程中提供指导，并指导研究生院的申请过程。本科生将与约翰杰伊学院的教师合作确定，该学院是纽约城市大学学校系统的一部分，被美国教育部承认为少数民族和西班牙裔服务机构
