NSF INCLUDES DDLP: Capacity Building in Disaster Research for Scholars from Under-Represented Groups

这一NSF包括设计和开发启动试点将增加种族和少数民族在STEM博士项目中的招募、保留和入学，为灾害和灾害研究做出贡献。STEM使少数群体更加注重减灾，灾害研究领域将使社会受益，并有助于在灾害发生后取得具体的、所希望的社会成果。灾害中的少数群体涌动能力(SARGE)启动试点将提供实证研究，以找出在对减灾和灾害研究感兴趣的科技、经济和经济领域中少数群体代表性不足的实质性办法。增加合格少数群体的参与将有助于解决这些社区中更广泛的脆弱性问题，并通过思想的多样性和在学术和实践中创造性地解决问题来促进知识体系的发展。利用研讨会和多方面的辅导计划，创建了一种新的模式，解决了STEM和灾难领域对多样性的担忧，并使美国社区在自然灾害后更具弹性。这一项目将引起政策制定者、教育工作者和公众的兴趣。灾害中的少数群体涌动能力(Surge)NSF包括设计和开发启动试点，将通过增加他们的网络、联系和从STEM领域获得其社区成员的灾害管理决策机会来增强他们的社会资本。Surge的四个目标是：(1)增加STEM领域以灾害为重点的少数族裔研究生研究人员的数量；(2)培养和指导来自STEM领域的训练有素、合格的灾害学者；(3)在减灾和灾害研究方面为下一代少数族裔STEM学者提供学术和专业指导；以及(4)开发专业和研究机会，涉及对美国脆弱社区的外联和问题解决。Surge项目通过内布拉斯加州大学奥马哈分校作为领导组织网络组织，并包括社区合作伙伴。作为试点项目，浪潮的参与仅限于全国研究密集型大学的研究生。每个学生都将参加由项目负责人开发的研讨会和培训计划。Surge调查员将对他们的研讨会、培训和指导项目进行项目评估和评估。评价和评估的结果将在科学、技术和经济研究中心和与灾害有关的会议上提出，并在同行评议的学术期刊上发表。

This NSF INCUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot will increase the recruitment, retention, and matriculation of racial and ethnic minorities in STEM Ph.D. programs contributing to hazards and disaster research. Increasing STEM focused minorities on hazards mitigation, and disaster research areas will benefit society and contribute to the achievements of specific, desired societal outcomes following disasters. The Minority SURGE Capacity in Disasters (SURGE) launch pilot will provide the empirical research to identify substantial ways to increase the underrepresentation of minorities in STEM disciplines interested in hazards mitigation and disaster research. Increasing the involvement of qualified minorities will help solve the broader vulnerability concerns in these communities and help advance the body of knowledge through the diversity of thought and creative problem solving in scholarship and practice. Utilizing workshops and a multifaceted mentorship program SURGE creates a new model that addresses the diversity concerns in both STEM and disaster fields, and make American communities more resilient following natural disasters. This project will be of interest to policymakers, educators and the general public. The Minority SURGE Capacity in Disasters (SURGE) NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot will enhance the social capital of racial and ethnic minority communities by increasing their networks, connections, and access to disaster management decision-making among members of their community from STEM fields. The four-fold goals of SURGE are to: (1) increase the number of minority graduate researchers in STEM fields with a disaster focus; (2) develop and guide well-trained, qualified disaster scholars from STEM fields; (3) provide academic and professional mentorship for next generation minority STEM scholars in hazards mitigation and disaster research; and (4) develop professional and research opportunities that involve outreach and problem solving for vulnerable communities in the U.S. The SURGE project is organized as a lead-organization network through the University of Nebraska at Omaha and includes community partners. As a pilot project, SURGE participation is limited to graduate students from research-intensive universities across the country. Each student will attend workshops and training programs developed by the project leads. SURGE investigators will conduct project evaluation and assessment of their workshops, training, and mentorship projects. Results from evaluations and assessments will be presented at STEM and disaster-related conferences and published in peer-reviewed academic journals.
