Young Scholars Research Participation in Science and Engineering: Target Program for Minority and Economically- Disadvantaged Students

爱荷华大学提议为12名高中生加强其既定的科学和工程暑期研究参与计划，以抵消四个确定的需求：(1)需要让工业作为学习组成部分的一部分；(2)希望公开招收更多少数族裔和经济困难的学生；(3)希望扩大该计划的影响，使其超越目前的8周课程；以及(4)需要为整个计划提供超出拟议努力期限的财政支持基础。拟议的目标计划旨在通过以下方式扩大现有计划：(1)在爱荷华州和芝加哥积极招募少数族裔和经济困难学生；(2)将行业作为积极合作伙伴纳入职业意识发展和计划财务支持；(3)结构化后续活动，这些活动不仅将影响目标群体和80名定期参与者，还将影响参与者的同龄人及其家乡社区。

The University of Iowa proposes to enhance its established summer research participation program in science and engineering for twelve high school students to offset four identified needs: (1) the need to involve industry as part of the learning component; (2) the desire to openly recruit more minority and economically disadvantaged students; (3) the desire to expand the impact of the program beyond the current eight week course; and (4) the need to underpin the base of financial support for the entire program beyond the period of proposed effort. The proposed target program seeks to augment the existing program through (1) the active recruitment of minority and economically disadvantaged students in Iowa and Chicago; (2) the inclusion of industry as an active partner in career awareness development and program financial support; and (3) structured follow-up activities which not only will impact on the target group and the eighty regular participants, but will also influence the participants' peers and their home community.
