This NSF INCUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot will increase the recruitment, retention, and matriculation of racial and ethnic minorities in STEM Ph.D. programs contributing to hazards and disaster research. Increasing STEM focused minorities on hazards mitigation, and disaster research areas will benefit society and contribute to the achievements of specific, desired societal outcomes following disasters. The Minority SURGE Capacity in Disasters (SURGE) launch pilot will provide the empirical research to identify substantial ways to increase the underrepresentation of minorities in STEM disciplines interested in hazards mitigation and disaster research. Increasing the involvement of qualified minorities will help solve the broader vulnerability concerns in these communities and help advance the body of knowledge through the diversity of thought and creative problem solving in scholarship and practice. Utilizing workshops and a multifaceted mentorship program SURGE creates a new model that addresses the diversity concerns in both STEM and disaster fields, and make American communities more resilient following natural disasters. This project will be of interest to policymakers, educators and the general public. The Minority SURGE Capacity in Disasters (SURGE) NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot will enhance the social capital of racial and ethnic minority communities by increasing their networks, connections, and access to disaster management decision-making among members of their community from STEM fields. The four-fold goals of SURGE are to: (1) increase the number of minority graduate researchers in STEM fields with a disaster focus; (2) develop and guide well-trained, qualified disaster scholars from STEM fields; (3) provide academic and professional mentorship for next generation minority STEM scholars in hazards mitigation and disaster research; and (4) develop professional and research opportunities that involve outreach and problem solving for vulnerable communities in the U.S. The SURGE project is organized as a lead-organization network through the University of Nebraska at Omaha and includes community partners. As a pilot project, SURGE participation is limited to graduate students from research-intensive universities across the country. Each student will attend workshops and training programs developed by the project leads. SURGE investigators will conduct project evaluation and assessment of their workshops, training, and mentorship projects. Results from evaluations and assessments will be presented at STEM and disaster-related conferences and published in peer-reviewed academic journals.

NSF提出的设计和开发发射试点将增加STEM Ph.D.种族和少数民族的招募，保留和入学。有助于危害和灾难研究的计划。越来越多的茎少数民族对减轻危害，灾难研究领域将使社会受益，并为灾难后特定，期望的社会成果的成就做出贡献。灾难（激增）发射飞行员的少数派激增能力将提供实证研究，以确定增加对减轻危害和灾难研究感兴趣的STEM学科中少数群体的代表性不足。增加合格少数群体的参与将有助于解决这些社区中更广泛的脆弱性问题，并通过思想和创造性问题解决学术和实践来帮助促进知识体系。利用研讨会和多方面的指导计划激增创建了一个新模型，以解决STEM和灾难领域的多样性关注，并使美国社区在自然灾害后更具弹性。该项目将引起政策制定者，教育者和公众的关注。 NSF的少数群体激增能力包括设计和开发飞行员，将通过增加其网络，联系并访问其STEM领域社区成员之间的灾难管理决策，从而增强种族和少数民族社区的社会资本。激增的四倍目标是：（1）增加灾难重点的STEM领域中少数群体研究生的数量； （2）从STEM领域开发和指导训练有素，合格的灾难学者； （3）在减轻危害和灾难研究中为下一代少数民族STEM学者提供学术和专业指导； （4）开发专业和研究机会，这些机会涉及美国弱势社区的推广和解决问题，这一激增项目是通过奥马哈内布拉斯加州大学的铅组织组织组织的，并包括社区合作伙伴。作为一个试点项目，激增的参与仅限于全国研究密集型大学的研究生。每个学生将参加项目主角开发的研讨会和培训计划。激增的研究人员将对其研讨会，培训和指导项目进行项目评估和评估。评估和评估的结果将在STEM和与灾难有关的会议上介绍，并在同行评审的学术期刊上发表。
