Science Undergraduate Research Gateway Experience (SURGE)

ADEMED的总体目标是增加生物医学、行为和临床工作人员的多样性 通过准备代表不足(UR)的个人进入并完成这些专业的博士或医学博士学位 茎干田地。这将通过大学头两年的教育活动来实现，这些活动的重点是 研究和指导经验，让优秀的UR本科生进入高级荣誉 计划和毕业后，被录取并完成博士课程。我们理科本科生 研究门户体验(Surge)每年将招募10名即将入学的大学生参加一项 为实现这一目标，在两年内开展了一系列暑期和学年活动，包括(但不限于)： 为期8周的夏季桥牌项目，有科学计算方面的学分课程；实践 面向布鲁克林学院；以团队为基础的研究模块；建立一个支持激增的社区 同龄人；关于STEM职业的团队项目，包括与当地生物技术初创公司合作；关于 传播科学；制定个人发展初步计划(IDP)。 在布鲁克林学院和其他机构的多种高质量研究经验，包括一个新的团队- 基于方法，同伴辅助团队研究(PATR)，积极让低级学生参与规划 并完成他们自己的小型研究项目，为研究的暑期实习做准备 并加入布鲁克林学院或DownState医学中心的教职员工研究实验室。 在所有历史难度较大的科学和数学课上开设补充教学讲习班。 在5年、10年和15年期间一致使用本科生国内流离失所者，以留住激增的学生 对目标规划和面向未来的战略进行自我反思，以确定其 成功地从大学过渡到博士学位以及以后的职业生涯。 研讨会和活动，以提高书面和口头交流技能，批判性阅读的研究 文学、在会议上的演讲和计算技能，以及其他专业能力。 为学生举办的关于有效选择和使用导师的研讨会，并支持教师成为更多 有效的研究顾问和导师。 开展活动，培养对刻板印象、威胁和微攻击等因素的心理认识 UR学生在研究生课程中可能会遇到的问题。 在我们学院和外部实习地点与教职员工和研究顾问一起发展导师团队 通过国家网络(例如，NRMN、领导力联盟)和其他机构与UR博士获得者建立联系。 这些活动将占用三个暑期和两个完整的学年，届时，学生将申请 一个高级荣誉项目，要么是我们最近退还的NIH MARC项目，要么是我们的学者项目。两者都有 需要有良好的学术记录和研究成果，才能获得优秀的毕业论文，为研究生学习做准备。

The overall goal of ESTEEMED is to increase the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical workforce by preparing under-represented (UR) individuals to enter and complete Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. degrees in these STEM fields. This will be accomplished by educational activities in the first two years of college that focus on research and mentoring experiences so that well-qualified UR undergraduates can enter advanced honors programs and after graduation, be admitted into and complete doctoral programs. Our Science Undergraduate Research Gateway Experience (SURGE) will recruit ten incoming college students each year to participate in a series of summer and academic-year activities over two years to reach this goal including (but not limited to):  An 8-week summer bridge program with a credit-bearing course in scientific computing; a hands-on orientation to Brooklyn College; team-based research modules; building a supportive community of SURGE peers; a team-based project on careers in STEM, including with local biotechnology start-ups; workshops on communicating science; and development of a preliminary Individual Development Plan (IDP).  Multiple quality research experiences at Brooklyn College and at other institutions, including a novel team- based method, Peer-Assisted Team Research (PATR) to actively involve lower division students in planning and completing their own small research projects as preparation for summer externships at research institutions and joining research labs of faculty members at Brooklyn College or Downstate Medical Center.  Supplemental Instruction workshops in all historically-difficult science and mathematics classes.  Consistent use of undergraduate IDPs on 5-, 10- and 15-year time-frames, to keep SURGE students engaged in self-reflection for goal planning and future-oriented strategizing to define the elements of their successful transition from college to the Ph.D. and the careers beyond it.  Workshops and activities to improve written and oral communication skills, critical reading of the research literature, presentations at conferences, and computational skills, among other professional competencies.  Workshops for students on choosing and using mentors effectively and support for faculty to become more effective research advisors and mentors.  Activities to develop psychological awareness of factors such as stereotype threat and micro-aggressions that UR students may encounter in graduate programs.  Development of teams of mentors with faculty and research advisors at our college and externship sites and with UR doctoral recipients via national networks (e.g., NRMN, The Leadership Alliance) and others. These activities will occupy three summers and two full academic years, at which point, students will apply for an advanced honors program, either our recently refunded NIH MARC program or our Scholar’s Program. Both require a strong academic record and research leading to an honors thesis in preparation for graduate study.
