Science Undergraduate Research Gateway Experience (SURGE)

ESTEEMED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 通过准备代表性不足（UR）的个人进入并完成博士学位。或医学博士度在这些 STEM领域。这将通过大学前两年的教育活动来实现，重点是 研究和指导经验，使合格的UR本科生可以进入高级荣誉 课程和毕业后，被录取并完成博士课程。我们的科学本科生 研究网关体验（浪涌）将招募10名新生每年参加一个 一系列的夏季和学术年的活动，在两年内，以实现这一目标，包括（但不限于）： 一个为期8周的夏桥计划，包括科学计算的学分课程; 布鲁克林学院的方向;基于团队的研究模块;建立一个支持性的社区 同行;一个以团队为基础的STEM职业项目，包括与当地生物技术初创企业合作; 传播科学;制定初步的个人发展计划。 在布鲁克林学院和其他机构的多个高质量的研究经验，包括一个新颖的团队- 基于方法，同侪辅助团队研究（PATR），积极参与规划低年级学生 并完成自己的小型研究项目，为夏季研究实习做准备 机构和加入研究实验室的教师在布鲁克林学院或Downstate医疗中心。 在所有历史上困难的科学和数学课程的补充说明讲习班。 ·在5年、10年和15年的时间框架内一致使用本科国内流离失所者，以保持浪涌学生 进行自我反思，以制定目标规划和面向未来的战略， 从大学到博士的成功过渡以及之后的事业 研讨会和活动，以提高书面和口头沟通技巧，研究的关键阅读 文学，会议演讲，计算能力，以及其他专业能力。 为学生举办关于有效选择和使用导师的研讨会，并支持教师变得更加 有效的研究顾问和导师。 开展活动，提高对陈规定型观念威胁和微攻击等因素的心理认识 我们的学生在研究生课程中可能会遇到的问题。 在我们的大学和实习地点与教师和研究顾问一起发展导师团队， 通过国家网络（例如，NRMN，领导联盟）和其他。 这些活动将占用三个夏天和两个完整的学年，在这一点上，学生将申请 一个先进的荣誉计划，无论是我们最近退还NIH MARC计划或我们的学者计划。两 需要一个强大的学术记录和研究，导致一个荣誉论文，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.
