 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）：我们在哥伦比亚大学梅尔曼公共卫生学院环境健康科学 (EHS) 系提议的项目“促进多样性的本科生研究项目”的目的是增加来自代表性不足人群、有兴趣攻读环境健康科学研究生学位的学生人数。虽然IMSD等项目的存在是为了支持博士水平的多元化学生，但面临的挑战是在适用于环境健康科学研究生项目的候选人中找出来自不同背景的合格候选人。为了实现这一目标，我们需要在更广泛的本科生群体中吸引他们的兴趣，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弱势背景的本科生参与为期两年的指导研究项目来实现这一目标。该计划不仅包括 EHS 教员的实践研究，还包括 EHS 缺陷者和博士生的研讨会。我们将为学生提供专业培训、两年的项目指导以及研究生院申请流程的指导。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，被美国教育部认定为少数族裔和西班牙裔服务机构
