DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of the Joint Meetings of the National Institute of Science (NIS) and Beta Kappa Chi Scientific Honor Society is to increase the number of well-trained minority scientists. Offering academic support activities, networking, research experiences, role models and career information, have proven to be effective methods to achieve this goal. Over the years, the Joint Meeting has been a national forum where students (especially African-Americans) can present their research data and interact with scientists, exhibitors and peers, while obtaining information that will advance their careers. The specific aims are: (1) to provide travel funds for 250 undergraduate students and 25 faculty advisors to exchange research data, obtain information from conference activities and network with scientists, university administrators and exhibitors; (2) to expand special activities to include the Hot Zone Series (a forum that focuses on scientific global issues), Evening Expose at the Market Place (shopping for the future by closely interacting with representatives from graduate and professional schools), Chat and Chew (implemented on a trial basis at the 64th Joint Meeting) speaks to methods of advancing students' successes) and the Academic Advancement Series (requested as an extension of a popular workshop) addresses the support required for academic retention and scholastic success; (3): to continue to form partnerships between the host institution(s) and the local minority communities by having undergraduate NIS and BKX student organizations work with high school science students on science projects prior to the Joint Meeting through the "Adopt a School Program" so that they can present their posters at the Meeting. At least 5 high school travel awards will be given to selected high achieving high school students with funds from several non-grant sources (Minority Women in Science (MWIS), NIS, BKX, etc.). Because of this Joint Meeting, we have seen accomplishments from our students that would likely not have occurred without these interventions. Resulting from this meeting will be a long-term network of students, faculty, research scientists, and health professionals and exhibitors working together to increase the numbers of minorities in the STEM disciplines. RELEVANCE: This Joint Meeting will increase the number of minority students in STEM careers because of the implementation of travel awards, featured activities and extensive networking.

描述（由申请人提供）：国家科学研究所（NIS）和 Beta Kappa Chi 科学荣誉协会联席会议的长期目标是增加训练有素的少数族裔科学家的数量。事实证明，提供学术支持活动、网络、研究经验、榜样和职业信息是实现这一目标的有效方法。多年来，联席会议一直是一个全国性论坛，学生（尤其是非裔美国人）可以在其中展示他们的研究数据并与科学家、参展商和同行互动，同时获取有助于推进他们职业生涯的信息。具体目标是：（1）为250名本科生和25名教职顾问提供旅费，用于交流研究数据、从会议活动中获取信息以及与科学家、大学管理人员和参展商建立联系； (2) 扩大特别活动，包括“热点区系列”（关注全球科学问题的论坛）、“市场晚间暴露”（通过与研究生和专业学校代表密切互动，购买未来）、“聊天和咀嚼” （在第 64 次联席会议上试行）讨论了促进学生成功的方法）和学术进步系列（要求作为受欢迎的研讨会的延伸）解决了学术保留和学业成功所需的支持； (3)：在联席会议之前，通过“采用学校计划”，让本科生 NIS 和 BKX 学生组织与高中理科生就科学项目进行合作，继续在主办机构和当地少数民族社区之间建立伙伴关系”，以便他们可以在会议上展示他们的海报。至少 5 个高中旅行奖将颁发给选定的成绩优异的高中生，资金来自多个非拨款来源（科学少数女性 (MWIS)、NIS、BKX 等）。通过这次联席会议，我们看到了学生取得​​的成就，如果没有这些干预措施，这些成就可能不会实现。这次会议将形成一个由学生、教师、研究科学家、卫生专业人员和参展商组成的长期网络，共同努力增加 STEM 学科中少数群体的数量。 相关性：由于旅行奖励、特色活动和广泛网络的实施，本次联席会议将增加从事 STEM 职业的少数族裔学生的数量。
