RCMS: Research Careers for Minority Scholars at Brown University

9450319 Wyche Brown University建议将其生物医学领域的暑期研究-早期识别计划(SR-EIP)扩展为面向生命科学和工程领域积极性较低的布朗少数族裔学生的全年研究和职业导向体验。该项目名为布朗大学少数民族学者研究职业(RCMS)，将吸引从一年级到大四年级的有才华的学生，并在提案的四年期间扩大这些学生的职业选择。学生将与教师赞助商匹配，他们将从大一开始提供指导、指导和一流的研究环境。在大一之后的暑假，学生们将参加一个为期九周的项目，包括继续研究经验，研讨会和实地考察，布朗大学教职员工和外部演讲者每周举行的研究座谈会，以及参观工业公司。在三年级和四年级期间，将鼓励学生申请布朗的博士项目和其他精心挑选的研究生院。衡量RCMS在布朗的成功经验的一个标准是研究生学位项目的招聘人数。该计划的目标是到2000年至少培养15名博士前候选人。

9450319 Wyche Brown University proposes to expand its Summer Research-Early Identification Program (SR-EIP) in the biomedical sciences to a year-round research and career oriented experience for highly motivated Brown underrepresented minority students in the life sciences and engineering. The program, Research Careers for Minority Scholars (RCMS) at Brown University, will involve talented students from the freshman through senior year and expand the career options for those students during the four-year period of the proposal. Students will be matched with faculty sponsors who will provide mentorship, guidance, and a first-rate research environment starting in the freshman year. During the summer following the freshman year, students will participated in a nine- week program comprising a continuation of the research experience, seminars and field trips, weekly research colloquia by Brown faculty and outside speakers, and visits to industrial companies. During the junior and senior year, students will be encouraged to apply to Brown's Ph.D. programs and to other highly selected graduate schools. One measure of the RCMS experience's success at Brown will be the number of recruits to graduate degree programs. The program's goal will be to produce a minimum of 15 pre-doctoral candidates by the year 2000.
