G-RISE at UMBC

项目摘要 本申请的目的是获得资助，以支持每年36名博士生参加 UMBC的部门/计划（生物学，生物化学，生物化学和环境 工程、机械工程、计算机科学和电气工程、物理学和心理学）。 G-RISE培训人才库将包括在STEM领域代表性不足的学生;具体来说，种族和 少数民族和残疾学生。具体可衡量的成果是：（1）保持高水平 入学率和保留率的计划，（2）提高研究生产力，（3）提高性能， 核心能力，（4）提高职业准备，（5）促进包容性的研究环境，（6） 增加教师参与G-RISE活动。 UMBC的G-RISE将在第1年和第2年提供全面的财政支持。有竞争力的资金可以 在该计划的第三年获得的基于对导师/学员建议的评估，以推进研究 同时使受训者能够获得与职业兴趣相关的技能和经验。学生将被招募 通过外联活动、参加招聘活动、社交媒体存在， 以及在科学会议上的演讲。征聘工作将作为一项共同努力， 参与部门和G-RISE团队之间的沟通。已经很高的保留率将是 保持在目前水平。该G-RISE计划将通过个性化的职业发展， 指导。学员将参加所需的夏桥，以提高写作技能，促进过渡 进入研究生院学员还将完成关于负责任的研究行为的课程，并参加 几个讲习班：职业接触，赠款写作，定量技能，并过渡到工作场所。他们将 还参加社区建设活动、每月会议和年度务虚会。此外，学员将 有机会进行选修，实践培训，并采取额外的课程，以准备他们 兴趣的职业。教师导师将有望参加导师培训和G-RISE赞助 旨在促进包容性环境的活动。该计划的有效性将定期监测 通过分析业绩和学员及校友调查。

PROJECT SUMMARY The purpose of this application is to obtain funding to support 36 doctoral trainees per year in participating departments/programs at UMBC (Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Physics and Psychology). The G-RISE trainee pool will include students who are underrepresented in STEM fields; specifically, racial and ethnic minorities, and students with disabilities. The specific measurable outcomes are to (1) maintain high enrollment and retention rates in the program, (2) increase research productivity, (3) improve performance in core competencies, (4) enhance career readiness, (5) promote an inclusive research environment, and (6) increase faculty participation in G-RISE activities. G-RISE at UMBC will provide comprehensive financial support in years 1 and 2. Competitive funding can be obtained in year 3 of the program based on the assessment of mentor/mentee proposals to advance research while enabling the trainee to acquire skills and experience relevant to career interests. Students will be recruited regionally and nationally through outreach activities, participation in recruitment events, social media presence, and presentations at scientific conferences. Recruitment will be carried out in a holistic manner, as a joint effort between the participating departments and the G-RISE team. Retention, which is already very high, will be maintained at current levels. The G-RISE program will enhance career development through individualized mentoring. Trainees will enroll in the required Summer Bridge to enhance writing skills and facilitate transition into graduate school. Trainees will also complete a course on the Responsible Conduct of Research and attend several workshops: career exposure, grant-writing, quantitative skills, and transition into the workplace. They will also participate in community-building activities, monthly meetings, and annual retreats. In addition, trainees will have the opportunity to carry out elective, hands-on training and take on additional coursework to prepare them for careers of interest. Faculty mentors will be expected to participate in mentor training and G-RISE- sponsored activities that seek to promote an inclusive environment. The efficacy of the program will be monitored regularly by analysis of performance and trainee and alumni surveys.
