Research Enhancement for BUILDing Detroit (ReBUILDetroit)

ReBUILDetroit是底特律市区高等学府之间的合作伙伴关系，由University 底特律慈善学院(小学)、亨利·福特学院(管道社区学院合作伙伴)和韦恩 州立大学(研究伙伴)。这三所大学加起来几乎容纳了一半的大学学生。 底特律的学生。我们的大多数学生居住在底特律地区，来自在底特律代表性不足的群体 生物医学专业，有佩尔助学金资格，是第一代大学毕业生。我们的学生来自 社会经济上处于不利地位的背景，毕业于K-12学校系统，通常不是 能够提供在大学取得成功所需的技能。这些学生，为了经济上的结合 和学业原因，无法完成学业，导致六年毕业率较低。 即使面对这些挑战，成功的愿望和动力也是强烈的。ReBUILDetroit计划 恰恰为这一批学者提供了机会。该计划挑选的学生将展示 渴望攻读生物医学专业并从事生物医学研究。该计划以以下方式开始 学生在进入大学之前的暑假入学。在这个夏季的浓缩项目中， ReBUILDetroit奖学金获得者为上大学做好准备，与合作伙伴的同学建立网络 机构，并接触研究。该计划的第一年为他们提供了基于课程的 在研究方法和研究项目方面进行指导，之后与全国知名的 研究人员贯穿了他们的本科生涯。学者们组成一个学习共同体， 接受同行和近乎同行的指导，项目工作人员提供专门的学术建议，学术指导， 职业发展机会、社交网络和财务支持 读本科的几年。我们的学者们出色地利用了所有这些支持结构，并 培养了强烈的科学认同感和归属感。他们在学业上出类拔萃，成绩超过 从计划开始到目前为止，第一批人中的大多数进入第四批(高级)，保留率为90% 大学的那一年。超过85%的学生计划在六年内毕业，而不是四年后毕业，毕业的是STEM专业。 他们认为自己是研究人员，并因在国家会议上发表关于 他们与教职员工一起进行的研究结果。第一批人中的大多数正在申请 毕业生和专业学校将于2019年5月毕业。重要的是，他们已经开发出一种 强烈的归属感，并与他们的ReBUILDetroit同事建立了同龄人网络 以及他们在整个国家联盟中的构建同事。在第一个周期中创建的计划将是 在第二个赠款周期中得到加强，甚至在赠款期间之后继续作为ReBUILDetroit学者 成为在各个领域追求事业的下一代生物医学研究人员。

ReBUILDetroit is a partnership between institutions of higher learning in urban Detroit, comprised of University of Detroit Mercy (primary institution), Henry Ford College (pipeline Community College partner), and Wayne State University (research partner). Together these three institutions host almost half the population of college students in Detroit. The majority of our students reside in the Detroit area, are from groups underrepresented in biomedical sciences, are Pell-grant eligible, and are first generation college goers. Our students are from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds and graduate from K-12 school systems that often are not able to provide access to skills required to succeed in college. These students, for a combination of financial and academic reasons, are unable to complete their studies, contributing to the low six-year graduation rates. The desire and the motivation to succeed are strong even with these challenges. The ReBUILDetroit program provides opportunities to precisely this set of Scholars. The program selects students who demonstrate the desire to pursue biomedical majors and careers in biomedical research. The program commences with students entering in the summer prior to their matriculation to college. In this summer enrichment program, ReBUILDetroit Scholars become college ready, develop a network with their fellow students at the partner institutions and are exposed to research. The first year in the program provides them with course-based instruction in research methods and research projects, after which they conduct research with nationallyrenowned research faculty throughout their undergraduate years. Scholars form a Learning Community and receive peer- and near-peer mentoring, dedicated academic advising from program staff, academic coaching, professional development opportunities, social networking, and financial support throughout their undergraduate years. Our Scholars have made excellent use of all of these support structures and have developed a strong sense of science-identity and belongingness. They excel academically, with greater than 90% retention from the start of the program to date as the majority of the first cohort enters the fourth (senior) year of college. Greater than 85% are on target to graduate in not six, but in four years, with STEM majors. They view themselves as reseachers and have won awards at national conferences for presentations on the outcomes of their research conducted with faculty. The majority of the first cohort is in the process of applying to graduate and professional schools as they seek graduation in May 2019. Importantly, they have developed a strong sense of belonging and have formed a network of their peers, both with their ReBUILDetroit colleagues and with their BUILD colleagues across the national consortium. The program created in the first cycle will be strengthened in the second grant cycle and continued even beyond the grant period as ReBUILDetroit scholars become the next generation of biomedical researchers pursuing careers in various sectors.
