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 的设计和开发启动试点项目将增加 STEM 博士项目中少数种族和族裔的招募、保留和录取。有助于危害和灾害研究的计划。越来越多的 STEM 重点关注减灾和灾害研究领域的少数群体将使社会受益，并有助于在灾害发生后实现具体的、期望的社会成果。少数群体灾害应急能力 (SURGE) 启动试点项目将提供实证研究，以确定增加对减灾和灾害研究感兴趣的 STEM 学科中少数群体代表性不足的实质性方法。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，并通过学术和实践中的思想多样性和创造性问题解决来帮助推进知识体系。利用研讨会和多方面的指导计划 SURGE 创建了一个新模式，解决 STEM 和灾害领域的多样性问题，并使美国社区在自然灾害发生后更具复原力。该项目将引起政策制定者、教育工作者和公众的兴趣。 NSF 的少数族裔突发灾害能力 (SURGE) 包括设计和开发启动试点项目，将通过增加来自 STEM 领域的社区成员的网络、联系和参与灾害管理决策的机会，增强种族和族裔社区的社会资本。 SURGE 的四重目标是：（1）增加以灾害为重点的 STEM 领域少数族裔研究生研究人员的数量； (2) 培养和指导 STEM 领域训练有素、合格的灾害学者； (3) 为下一代少数民族 STEM 学者在减灾和灾害研究方面提供学术和专业指导； (4) 开发专业和研究机会，涉及美国弱势社区的外展和问题解决。SURGE 项目是通过内布拉斯加大学奥马哈分校作为牵头组织网络组织的，包括社区合作伙伴。作为试点项目，SURGE 的参与仅限于全国研究型大学的研究生。每个学生都将参加由项目负责人制定的研讨会和培训计划。 SURGE 调查员将对他们的研讨会、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 和灾害相关会议上公布，并在同行评审的学术期刊上发表。
