DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In our current grant the overall goal was to increase the number of minority undergraduate students trained in biomedical engineering (BME) by building on an existing partnership, between faculty in BME at The City College of New York, a publicly funded minority-serving institution with limited resources, and researchers in currently eight of the preeminent medical research institutions in New York City. This consortium is known as the New York Center for Biomedical Engineering and is an official CUNY Institute. In the current application this goal is expanded to include internships and employment opportunities for our students in a network of major industrial firms in health care related technology and the utilization of our newly established Industry Advisory Board. The Board will provide input into our curriculum, especially with regard to our senior BME capstone design course. The renewal application also contains new strategies for retention and recruitment, the creation of a mentorship and teaching fellow program which will closely integrate each student scholar with a senior Ph.D. student and an expansion of our high school outreach program in which we will establish strategic relationships with high school guidance counselors and assistant principles of science to recruit talented high achieving students who are interested in the life sciences and/or engineering. We will also expand our collaborative partnership with STEM and the College Now program to help prepare underrepresented students for college and careers in science, engineering and mathematics. To achieve these goals we propose the following four specific objectives: 1. To build and maintain a steady state annual base of 20 high achieving minority scholars in BME who have a GPA of at least 3.0. 2. To build a mentorship and retention program in which each undergraduate scholar is under the paid supervision of an advanced BME Ph.D. student. 3. To build an industrial outreach program with select biotech companies which will provide summer Internships and design projects for the senior year design course and other feedback for improving the curriculum. 4. To expand our existing outreach program to inner-city high schools.

描述（由申请人提供）：在我们当前的资助中，总体目标是通过建立纽约城市学院 BME 教师与公共资助的资源有限的少数族裔服务机构，以及纽约市目前八家杰出医学研究机构的研究人员。该联盟被称为纽约生物医学工程中心，是纽约市立大学的官方研究所。在当前的申请中，这一目标已扩大到包括为我们的学生在医疗保健相关技术的主要工业公司网络中提供实习和就业机会，以及利用我们新成立的行业咨询委员会。董事会将为我们的课程提供意见，特别是关于我们的高级 BME 顶点设计课程。续签申请还包含保留和招聘的新策略，创建导师和教学研究员计划，将每位学生学者与高级博士紧密结合起来。学生和扩展我们的高中外展计划，在该计划中，我们将与高中指导顾问和科学助理原理建立战略关系，以招收对生命科学和/或工程感兴趣的优秀优秀学生。 我们还将扩大与 STEM 和 College Now 计划的合作伙伴关系，帮助代表性不足的学生为进入科学、工程和数学领域的大学和职业做好准备。为了实现这些目标，我们提出以下四个具体目标： 1. 建立并维持稳定的年度基数，其中包括 20 名 GPA 至少为 3.0 的 BME 高成就少数族裔学者。 2. 建立一个指导和保留计划，使每个本科生学者都受到有偿的资助 高级 BME 博士的监督学生。 3. 与选定的生物技术公司建立工业推广计划，提供夏季 高年级设计课程的实习和设计项目以及其他改进反馈 课程。 4. 将我们现有的外展计划扩展到市中心的高中。
