Program Director/Principal Investigator (Last, First, Middle): R o U S , P h i l i p J a m e S PROJECT SUMMARY - Overall Component The goal ofthe proposed STEM BUILD{gUMBC 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 biomedical 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). Lessons from existing diversity initiatives will inform UMBC's efforts to further infuse mentoring, support, and student engagement into the undergraduate degree experience. UMBC will invest in a range of pedagogical innovations promoting "active learning," develop new models for engaging students in research and connecting them with mentors, and create a cohort-based program for students interested in the life sciences and at risk for retention in STEM majors or college completion. The program's evaluation component will provide opportunities to maximize effectiveness of BUILD@UMBC initiatives and to publish findings regarding optimal strategies for helping significantly more students succeed in STEM areas. Infrastructure investments at UMBC will expand the university's capacity to provide a high level support to students in jeopardy of attrition from STEM through interventions that are scalable, sustainable, and reproducible. Specifically, comprehensive, long-term NRSA support is requested for 80 BUILD Trainees and short-term summer hourly support is requested for up to 90 BUILD Affiliates from partner institutions in this initiative. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The STEM BUILD(gUMBC initiative is based on the premise that large numbers of students from all backgrounds have the capacity to excel in the life sciences and make valuable contributions as members of the country's scientific workforce. Building on existing models for student engagement and success, the initiative will provide important insights into innovative practices to help a broad range of students succeed.

项目总监/首席研究员（最后、第一、中间）：R o US , Philip Ja m e S 项目摘要 - 总体组成部分 拟议的 STEM BUILD{gUMBC 计划的目标是创建一个全面的、多维的 公立研究型大学增加来自不同背景的学生数量的模型 主修生物医学和行为科学并进入研究生院和/或 STEM 劳动力队伍。 通过国家认可的 Meyerhoff 学者和 MARC U*STAR 计划以及其他举措 UMBC 的教职员工和管理人员致力于提高少数族裔对 STEM 的参与度 关于在有抱负的 STEM 专业中建立社区的重要性的重要教训，设置高 期望，并为学生提供重要的研究经验以及学术、财务和 社会支持。 UMBC 被全国公认为创新和包容性卓越的典范，并且 校园数量在以白人为主的院校中名列前茅，在所有大学中排名 6* 的非裔美国学士学位获得者继续完成 STEM 博士学位，其中三分之二 那些完成生命科学博士学位的校友（NSF，2013）。现有多元化举措的经验教训 将告知 UMBC 进一步将指导、支持和学生参与融入到 本科学历经验。 UMBC 将投资一系列教学创新，促进“积极主动” 学习”，开发新的模型来吸引学生参与研究并将他们与导师联系起来，以及 为对生命科学感兴趣且有可能留在 STEM 中的学生创建一个基于队列的计划 专业或大学毕业。该计划的评估部分将提供机会最大化 BUILD@UMBC 计划的有效性，并发布有关最佳帮助策略的调查结果 更多的学生在 STEM 领域取得成功。 UMBC 的基础设施投资将扩大 大学有能力为面临 STEM 流失风险的学生提供高水平支持 干预措施具有可扩展性、可持续性和可重复性。具体而言，全面、长期的 NRSA 请求为 80 名 BUILD 受训人员提供支持，并为最多 90 名受训人员请求短期夏季小时支持 在此计划中建立来自合作机构的附属机构。 相关性（参见说明）： STEM BUILD(gUMBC 倡议的前提是来自世界各地的大量学生 背景有能力在生命科学领域表现出色，并作为成员做出宝贵贡献 该国的科学劳动力。以现有的学生参与和成功模型为基础， 该倡议将为创新实践提供重要见解，帮助广大学生取得成功。
