CRCM: Northeastern University Comprehensive Regional Center for Minorities

“东北大学少数民族综合区域中心”该提案描述了一项计划，旨在建立东北大学科学、工程和数学少数民族综合区域中心，将学术、社区和行业资源汇集在一个联盟中，致力于增加技术和科学专业的少数民族人数。在学生从K-12年级开始学习的过程中，为他们提供所需的连续性和支持。该中心将作为其自身活动的赞助者和外部项目的协调机构，提供资金、资源和获得专门知识的机会。最初的财团将包括东北大学、波士顿公立学校系统（Boston Public School System），然后加入剑桥大学（Cambridge）的学校和其他地区机构，以及商业和社区团体；最初的目标人群将是参加课外和暑期数学和科学充实课程的小学生，以及波士顿选定学校的初高中学生和教师。学校、学生、家长和教师的数量每年都会增加。NUCRCM的目标是在前5年内将少数民族学生参加并成功完成SEM课程的人数增加至少三倍。长期目标是在现有项目之间建立工作联盟，开发和实施新的项目和课程，协调努力确保学生在八年级结束时成功完成代数，在高中结束时成功完成微积分预科，为教师提供广泛的在职培训，并让家长参与到孩子的教育中来。我们的策略是将越来越多的学生引入现有的项目，如探险家俱乐部和麻省理工学院，新项目，如踏脚石和宇宙II，以及正在开发的项目。随着时间的推移，评估过程将确定哪些项目是成功的，应该扩大，哪些项目需要修改，甚至从中心的赞助中取消。中心工作人员将包括一名全职主任、一名全职项目协调员；高级联合研究员和数学协调员；化学、物理和生物学的共同研究者；高级评估员；顾问委员会;和工业窗格。

HRD-9353129 Blackman, David and Gilmore, Maurice Northeastern University Boston, MA "Northeastern University Comprehensive Regional Center For Minorities" This proposal describes a plan to establish the Northeastern University Comprehensive Regional Center for Minorities in science, engineering, and mathematics, bringing together academic, community, and industry resources in a coalition committed to increasing the number of minorities in technical and scientific professions, by providing students with the continuity and support they need as they progress through the pipeline from grades K-12. The Center will serve both as a sponsor of its own activities and as a coordinating body for external projects, providing funding, resources, and access to expertise. The initial consortium will consist of Northeastern University, the Boston Public School System then adding Cambridge schools and other area institutions, and business and community groups; the initial target population will be elementary school children participating in after-school and summer math and science enrichment programs, and middle and high schools students and teachers from selected Boston schools. The number of schools, students, parents, and teachers will be increased each year. The NUCRCM's goal is to at least triple the number of minority students taking and successfully completing SEM courses in the first 5 years. Long-term objectives are to establish working coalitions among existing programs, develop and implement new programs and curriculum, coordinate efforts to ensure that students successfully complete algebra by the end of 8th grade and pre-calculus by the end of high school, provided teachers with extensive in-service training, and get parents involved in the education of their children. Our strategy is to funnel more and more students into already-existing programs such as the Explorers Club and MassPEP, new programs such as SteppingStones and COSMOS II, and programs to b e developed. Over time the evaluation process will identify those programs which are successful and should be expanded and those that need to be modified or even dropped from Center sponsorship. The Center Staff will consist of a full-time Director, a full-time Program Coordinator; a Senior Co-Investigator and Math Coordinator; Co-Investigators in chemistry, physics, and biology; a Senior Evaluator; Advisory Board; and Industry Pane.
