Minority Research Opportunities in Interfacial Engineering

小行星9419197 由于各种历史和社会原因，非裔美国人在科学和数学博士水平上的代表性严重不足。 科学界必须发挥领导作用，为这些年轻的美国人提供培训机会和激励措施，让他们选择作为活跃的科学家的职业。 海军研究实验室与国家科学基金会合作，为有前途的科学、工程和数学本科生制定了一个暑期研究实习计划。 该计划专门针对那些渴望从事科学研究的学生。 这个合作项目为优秀的少数民族本科生提供了一个独特的暑期研究实习体验。 在该计划的前三年，25名优秀的本科生已被确定，并在全国领先的历史上黑人学院和大学的三个招聘：克拉克亚特兰大大学，斯佩尔曼学院和莫尔豪斯学院。 这些学生在NRL的生物/分子科学与工程中心担任暑期研究实习生。 在该方案取得初步成功的基础上，建议将其范围扩大到： .将夏季研究实习的数量增加三分之一 .将实习计划扩展到来自其他HBCU的学生 .在格鲁吉亚理工学院提供研究机会 .在NRL和参与HCBU之间建立研究计划。 ***

9419197 Gaber For a variety of historical and social reasons, African Americans are severely under represented at the PhD level in science and mathematics. It is imperative that the scientific community take a leadership role in providing training opportunities and incentives for these young Americans to choose careers as active scientists. Cooperatively with National Science Foundation, the Naval Research Laboratory has developed a summer research internship program for promising undergraduate students science, engineering, and mathematics. The program specifically targets students who aspire to careers in scientific research. This cooperative program provides an unique summer research internship experience for outstanding minority undergraduates. During the first three years of the program twenty five outstanding undergraduates have been identified and recruited at three of the Nation's leading historically black colleges and universities: Clark-Atlanta University, Spelman College, and Morehouse College. These students have worked with distinction as summer research interns at NRL's Center for Bio/Molecular Science and Engineering. Based upon the program's initial success, it is proposed to enlarge its scope to: . Expand the number summer research internships by one third . Extend the internship program to students from additional HBCUs . Provide research opportunities at the Georgia Institute of Technology . Establish research programs between NRL and participating HCBUs. ***
