9450353 Parker RCMS at the City College of the City University of New York, Phase II In the second phase of RCMS funding, City College of the City University of New York proposes an ongoing comprehensive effort aimed at encouraging minority students to enter research careers in engineering and science, beginning with the recruitment of potential RCMS Scholars from City College undergraduates and culminating in their placement in appropriate doctoral programs. The hear of the program to shaping the next generation of minority researchers in Phase II will continue to be a four-year multifaceted approach based on a careful balancing of enrichment programs, research experience, academic counseling, professional counseling, communications development, community awareness, summer internships, and graduate school counseling. RCMS shall of course continue to draw on the resources of the many existing special programs for outstanding students at the College, but the RCMS Scholars will continue to have many additional opportunities for academic enrichment. Through their involvement with faculty mentors, RCMS scholars continue to be given first-hand experience with scientific research. In addition, RCMS will continue to provide an environment where Scholars can become actively involved members of a close-knit community of scholars and students from several disciplines. RCMS Scholars, both among themselves and along with scholars from similar program, will participate in a number of activities that draw them together as a group, teaching and learning from one another, as well as from the faculty, each Scholar guided and supported in a wide range of experiences that comprise his or her apprenticeship as a prospective researcher. Moreover, the program not only will benefit the intended group of RCMS Scholars and increase the probability that they will pursue careers as researchers, but will also enrich the academic experience of all students and faculty at the College. This eff ort to recruit researchers is envisioned as at once the hub of various special activities on campus and as a means of bringing into clearer focus a great many key issues in the effort to increase the numbers of minority researchers in science and engineering. RCMS shall also continue to draw on other resources by continuing to forge collaborative relationships with colleges, universities, research laboratories and community-based organizations. With a highly successful summer internship program already in place with several universities across the United States, RCMS is already well positioned to significantly expand on the summer internship program. RCMS, in Phase II, will maintain a steady state of 60 RCMS undergraduate scholars as well as 15 "AMP Affiliates" -- New York Alliance undergraduate students transferring from community colleges to the RCMS. The total cost of the project over a four year period will be $2,514,845, with NSF providing $1,669,663, City College contributing $545,212, and CUNY-AMP providing $300,000 for "AMP Affiliates," with $30,000 for supplies. RCMS will in turn provide ancillary support to all AMP students at City College consisting of enrichment activities, counseling, mentoring, communications workshops, monthly scholars' meetings and the like. RCMS will also seek out additional funding. An evaluation will be conducted to learn the extend to which the program has been successful in identifying and fostering the development of students who go on to careers as research scientists and engineering. This assessment will involve direct measurement of the impact of the program upon students and learning from mentors and other associated faculty how they view the program's accomplishments. To these ends, pre- and post-program evaluation instruments will be designed, applied, and analyzed.

9450353纽约市城市学院的Parker RCMS，第二阶段在RCMS资助的第二阶段，纽约市城市学院，纽约市城市学院提出了一项持续的综合努力，旨在鼓励少数群体从事工程学和科学的研究职业，从城市学院的招聘计划中，从事工程学和科学的研究。基于精心平衡丰富计划，研究经验，学术咨询，专业咨询，沟通发展，社区意识，暑期实习和研究生院咨询的仔细平衡，在第二阶段塑造下一代少数研究人员的计划将继续是一种四年的多方面方法。当然，RCMS应继续利用学院中杰出学生的许多现有特殊计划的资源，但是RCMS学者将继续为学术丰富提供许多额外的机会。通过与教师导师的参与，RCMS学者继续获得科学研究的第一手经验。此外，RCMS将继续提供一个环境，学者可以积极参与来自几个学科的学者和学生的紧密联系社区的成员。 RCMS学者彼此之间以及与类似计划的学者一起都将参加许多将他们作为一个小组，彼此教学和学习的活动，并从教职员工那里进行，每个学者都以广泛的经验进行指导和支持，这些经验包括他或她的学徒作为前瞻性研究员。此外，该计划不仅会受益于预定的RCMS学者小组，并增加他们作为研究人员从事职业的可能性，而且还将丰富学院所有学生和教职员工的学术经验。这项对招募研究人员的影响立即被设想为校园各种特殊活动的枢纽，并将其引入更清晰的重点，以增加科学和工程学领域的少数群体研究人员的数量。 RCMS还应继续与大学，大学，研究实验室和基于社区的组织建立合作关系，继续借鉴其他资源。由于已经在美国的几所大学制定了一项非常成功的暑期实习计划，因此RCMS已经有好处，可以大大扩展暑期实习计划。第二阶段的RCMS将保持60个RCMS本科学者的稳态以及15个“ AMP分支机构” - 纽约联盟本科生，从社区学院转移到RCMS。该项目在四年期间的总成本为2,514,845美元，NSF提供1,669,663美元，城市学院捐款545,212美元，CUNY-AMP为“ AMP Affiliates”提供300,000美元，供应供应$ 30,000。 RCMS反过来将为城市学院的所有放大器学生提供辅助支持，包括丰富的活动，咨询，指导，沟通研讨会，每月学者的会议等。 RCMS还将寻找额外的资金。将进行评估，以了解该计划成功地识别和促进从事研究科学家和工程的学生的发展。该评估将涉及直接测量计划对学生的影响，并向导师和其他相关教师学习如何看待计划的成就。在这些目的方面，将设计，应用和分析程序前和程序后评估工具。
