Increasing Minority Student Participation at Meetings

描述(由申请人提供)：本计划的长期目标是 通过提供学生增加训练有素的少数民族科学家的数量 有学术支持、网络和实习机会、研究 经验、榜样和职业信息。世界银行联合会联席会议 国家科学院(NIS)，Beta Kappa chi科学荣誉学会 (BKX)和布鲁克海文学期计划(BSP)可以作为一种机制 实现这一目标。它将继续作为一个全国性的论坛， 少数族裔(特别是非裔美国人)可以提交他们的研究数据， 与科学家互动并获取信息，以推动其 学术和科学家的职业。这项建议的具体目标是：(1)。 为100名本科生讲师和12名教职员工提供旅费 学术顾问交换研究数据，从会议获取信息 活动(即讲习班和杰出讲座)，并与 科学家、大学管理者和参展商；(2)扩展特殊功能的步骤 活动包括本科生/高中生海报会议， 研究生会议、实践研讨会和科学家小组，以提供 关于研究成果、尖端技术、职业生涯的最新信息 选项和赠款可用性；(3)。并在东道主之间形成合作伙伴关系 机构和当地少数民族社区通过组织高中 年度会议上的科学丰富活动，并通过建立一个 “采用高中计划”，目的是为当地高中提供建议 并计划活动，以激励和激励这些学生 追求科学、数学和工程方面的职业。目标将是 通过向至少100人提供有竞争力的旅行奖励来实现 本科生和12名教职导师；用于额外实践的资金 为高中生举办的研讨会、科学丰富活动和小组讨论 著名科学家的讨论。这次联席会议的结果将是 学生、教职员工、研究科学家、健康的长期网络 专业人士和参展商共同努力，增加展会数量 科学、数学和工程方面的少数族裔。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long term goal of this proposal is to increase the number of well-trained minority scientists by providing students with academic support, networking and internships opportunities, research experiences, role models and career information. The Joint Meeting of the National Institute of Science (NIS), Beta Kappa Chi Scientific Honor Society (BKX) and Brookhaven Semester Program (BSP) can serve as a mechanism for achieving this goal. It will continue to serve as a national forum where minorities (especially African Americans) can present their research data, interact with scientists and obtain information that will advance their academic and scientist careers. The specific aims of this proposal are; (1). to provide travel funds for 100 undergraduate student presenters and 12 faculty academic advisors to exchange research data, obtain information from conference activities (i.e., workshops and distinguished lectures), and network with scientists, university administrator and exhibitor; (2). to expand special activities to include an undergraduate/high school student poster session, a graduate session, hands-on workshops, and a panel of scientists to provide current information about research findings, cutting-edge technologies, career options, and grant availability; (3). and to form partnerships between the host institutions and the local minority communities by organizing high school science enrichment activities at the annual meeting, and by establishing an "Adopt a High School Program" for the purpose of advising local high school students and planning activities to stimulate and motivate these students to pursue science, mathematics, and engineering careers. The objectives will be accomplished by providing competitive travel awards to at least 100 undergraduate students and 12 faculty advisors; funds for additional hands-on workshops, science enrichment activities for high school students, and a panel discussion by renown scientists. Resulting from this Joint meeting will be a long-term network of students, faculty, research scientists, health professional and exhibitors working together to increase the number of minorities in science, mathematics and engineering.
