RCMS: Research Careers for Minority Scholars

少数族裔学者研究职业（RCMS）计划旨在补充纽约州立大学/老韦斯特伯里学院的大学生命科学项目，少数族裔生物医学研究支持（MBRS），少数族裔获得研究职业（MARC）和少数族裔研究发展计划研究所（MIRDP）。通过向物理科学、数学和工程（SEM）领域提供全面的研究和学术丰富机会。老韦斯特伯里学院特别适合这个RCMS项目，因为它是纽约州立大学所有机构中少数民族学生比例最高的学院之一，并且已经成为生物医学科学本科研究的一流机构。通过科学培训和教育计划，建立了从中学到大学的教育管道。这项为期三年的计划将为35名学生提供(1)为有才华的新生提供住宿暑期计划，以获得和提前进入大学的机会(2)特殊的学术和职业教师指导；(3)在Grumman Aerospace、H2M实验室、Knogo Corporation等附近行业进行暑期实习；(4)实习前培训计划，为学生的行业经验做准备；(5)与化学、应用数学和计算机科学方面的教师导师进行研究的机会。RCMS计划将集中于nsf支持的SEM领域，完成学院少数民族学生的科学教育。

The Research Careers for Minority Scholars (RCMS) program is designed to complement SUNY/College at Old Westbury's college life science oriented programs, Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS), Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) and Minority Institute of Research Development Programs (MIRDP), by providing comprehensive research and academic enrichment opportunities directed towards physical science, mathematics and engineering (SEM) fields. The College at Old Westbury is particularly suited for this RCMS program because it has one of the highest percentages of minority students in al the SUNY institutions, and has emerged as a first-rate institution for undergraduate research in the biomedical sciences. Through its Science Training and Education Program, and educational pipeline from secondary school to college has been established. This three year proposal will provide thirty five student with (1) a residential summer program for talented entering freshman to gain and early debut into college (2) special academic and career faculty mentoring; (3) summer internship in nearby industries such as Grumman Aerospace, H2M laboratories and Knogo Corporation; and (4) pre-internship training program preparing students for this industrial experience; (5) research opportunities with faculty mentors in chemistry, applied mathematics and computer science. By concentrating on NSF-supported areas of SEM, the RCMS Program will complete the science education for minority students at the college.
