This REU Site award to Carnegie Mellon University, Mellon College of Science, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will support the training of four scholars participating in mathematical science or physics projects for eight weeks and six scholars working on biology, chemistry, or computational projects for 10 weeks during the summers of 2023-2026. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from under-represented groups, will be trained in the program. In addition to undertaking an independent research project, scholars participate in professional development and community building activities organized by departments and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office of Mellon College of Science. Scholars are also able to expand their networking outside of the daily programming as they reside together. The goal is for scholars to develop contemporary skillsets that can keep pace with developing technologies. By promoting interdisciplinary collaborations to investigate scientific questions, the program alumni will not only be able to handle real world problems but also be the solutions.The objectives of this program are to: a) increase scholars access to information about graduate school, scientific research, conference meetings, and other career opportunities with respect to STEM research; b) help scholars build professional networks and foster a sense of community within STEM research spaces; and c) improve scholars’ ability to think creatively about research, and to work in interdisciplinary and collaborative modes. Students are recruited nationally at ABRCMS/ SACNAS meetings, via outreach visits, and by word of-mouth via former program participants and faculty connections. Each department is responsible for their own application and selection process with input from the Mellon College of Science Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office. Applicants are holistically evaluated including their personal and professional accomplishments, and extenuating circumstances. The centerpiece of the program is the interdisciplinary experience. While scholars have deep experiences in their chosen discipline. Engrained in our curriculum are opportunities for scholars to expand their personal and professional networks. Scholars collaborate outside of their discipline to solve problems and improve their understanding of their chosen field. The current interdisciplinary world of today’s science requires a range of skills and diversity of ideas to succeed in any endeavor. The inclusion of multiple disciplines allows scholars to have more opportunities to network and gain exposure to a community reflective of the growing workforce diversity.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的卡内基·梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon University）授予卡内基·梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon University），梅隆科学院（Mellon College of Mellon College），宾夕法尼亚州的梅隆学院（Mellon College of Mellon College），将支持四个参与数学科学或物理项目的学者培训八周，六个学者在2023 - 2026年的夏季工作10周，从事生物学，化学或计算项目工作10周。预计将在该计划中培训总共有30名学生，来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体。除了开展一个独立的研究项目外，学者还参加了由部门组织以及梅隆科学学院的多样性，公平和包容性办公室组织的专业发展和社区建设活动。学者们还可以在日常编程之外扩展其网络。目的是让学者开发当代技能，可以跟上发展技术的步伐。通过促进跨学科的合作来调查科学问题，该计划校友不仅能够处理现实世界中的问题，而且还可以作为解决方案。该计划的目标是：a）将学者访问有关研究生院，科学研究，会议会议以及其他职业机会的信息； b）帮助学者建立专业网络，并在STEM研究空间内培养社区感； c）提高学者们创造性地思考研究以及以跨学科和协作模式工作的能力。通过外展访问和通过以前的计划参与者和教师的联系，通过ABRCMS/ SACNAS会议在全国范围内招募学生。每个部门负责自己的应用和选择过程，并通过梅隆科学学院多样性，公平和包容性办公室的意见。对申请人进行了整体评估，包括他们的个人和专业成就以及延长的情况。该计划的核心是跨学科体验。尽管学者在他们选择的学科中都有深刻的经验。受我们的课程的基础是学者扩展其个人和专业网络的机会。学者在他们的学科之外进行合作，以解决问题并提高他们对所选领域的理解。当今科学的当前跨学科世界需要一系列技能和多样性的想法才能在任何努力中取得成功。包括多个学科的包含使学者有更多的机会进行联网和接触社区，以反映不断增长的劳动力多样性。该站点得到了国防部与NSF REU计划合作的支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法规使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的criter criter scritia crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia criteria criter criteria criteria crietia criteria criteria crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia cristia receptia receptia awnity奖。
