The goal of the proposed STEM BUILD@UMBC initiative is to create a comprehensive, multidimensional model for a public research university to increase the number of students from all backgrounds completing majors in the life and behavioral sciences and entering graduate school and/or the STEM workforce. Through the nationally recognized Meyerhoff Scholars and MARC U*STAR programs, and other initiatives focused on increasing minority participation in STEM, UMBC faculty, staff, and administrators have learned key lessons about the importance of building community among aspiring STEM majors, setting high expectations, and providing students with significant research experiences and academic, financial, and social support. UMBC is nationally recognized as a model of innovation and inclusive excellence, and the campus is the leader among predominantly white Institutions - and 6* among all universities - in the number of African American bachelor's degree recipients who go on to complete STEM Ph.D.s, with two-thirds of those alumni completing Ph.D.s in the life sciences (NSF, 2013). The proposed STEM BUILD Research Enrichment Core will draw on UMBC's history of innovation as we conduct a five-year investigation of the most effective strategies to engage students in STEM coursework and research, and prepare them for careers involving the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Currently, UMBC's successful scholarship programs focus on students who begin their undergraduate studies with strong preparation in STEM. However, large numbers of additional students aspiring to major in these subjects may be at risk of switching to other majors or not graduating. The STEM BUILD@UMBC initiative will work to retain these students in STEM by expanding access to research and internship experiences for students, and continuing work to support the pre-transfer preparedness of students at partner two-year institutions. It will also expand efforts to incorporate applied learning experiences (i.e., traditional internship or one-on-one mentoring) into the academic program through active-earning courses and opportunities to participate in professional development training and workshops (e.g.. Introduction to a Research University), Biomedical Case Study and Responsible Conduct in Research courses, and Affinity Group Research courses. In addition to the comprehensive support requested for 80 BUILD Trainees, UMBC plans summer paid practicums involving novel research and research preparation are planned for up to 90 additional students enrolled at partner institutions over the five-year grant period.

拟议的STEM构建@UMBC计划的目标是创建一个全面的，多维的 公立研究大学的模型增加了所有背景的学生人数 生活和行为科学专业的专业，进入研究生院和/或STEM劳动力。 通过全国认可的Meyerhoff学者和Marc U*明星计划以及其他举措 专注于增加少数群体参与STEM，UMBC教职员工，员工和管理人员已经了解到 关于在有抱负的STEM专业中建立社区重要性的关键课程，使高高 期望，并为学生提供重要的研究经验和学术，财务和 社会支持。 UMBC在全国范围内被公认为是创新和包容性的典范，以及 校园是所有大学中主要是白人机构的领导 继续获得STEM博士学位的非裔美国人学士学位获得者 那些在生命科学中完成博士学位的校友（NSF，2013年）。 拟议的STEM构建研究丰富核心将借鉴UMBC的创新历史 我们对最有效的策略进行了为期五年的调查，以使学生参与STEM课程 和研究，并为涉及生物医学和行为科学的职业做好准备。现在， UMBC成功的奖学金计划的重点是开始学习本科生的学生 在茎中进行大量准备。但是，大量有渴望专业的学生 受试者可能有改用其他专业的风险或不毕业的风险。 STEM Build@umbc倡议 通过扩大获得研究和实习经验的访问，将努力将这些学生保留在STEM中 学生，并继续工作以支持合作伙伴的学生准备前两年 机构。它还将扩大努力以纳入应用学习经验（即传统实习 或一对一的指导）通过主动赚取课程和机会进入学术课程 参加专业发展培训和研讨会（例如，研究大学简介）， 生物医学案例研究和负责任的研究课程和亲和力小组研究 课程。除了要求80名建筑学员的全面支持外，UMBC计划夏季 计划多达90个涉及新研究和研究准备的付费实践 学生在五年的赠款期间就读于合作伙伴机构。
