SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The purpose of this application is to obtain funding for five years to support research training of 33 students during their freshman and sophomore years in the ESTEEMED Scholars Program at UMBC. The aim is to recruit, retain and train undergraduate freshman and sophomores from groups underrepresented in STEM fields such as biochemistry, chemistry, biological sciences, chemistry, chemical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, mathematics, mechanical engineering, and physics, and through research experiences, mentoring and educational activities prepare them to enter and succeed in an advanced honors program, such as our MARC U*STAR Program, Honors College, or HHMI Scholars Program with the ultimate goal of pursuing a PhD or MD/PhD. This program will maximize the access to research careers in biomedical research for these students from historically underrepresented groups, specifically those interested in research relating to bio/medical engineering and imaging. The ESTEEMED program is deliberately structured, intensive, and comprehensive with key components including a summer bridge program, scholarship support, faculty involvement, study groups, summer and academic year research experiences, structured mentoring (faculty and peer), professional advising and coaching, strong programmatic values, and family support. These features are designed to create an environment that continually challenges, supports, and prepares competitively selected students to meet and exceed the expectations of the academy, beginning in their pre-freshman summer through sophomore summer, preparing them for advanced research in their junior and seniors, followed by graduate research. ESTEEMED Scholars will be selected through the Meyerhoff Scholars Program application process, specifically identifying students who have demonstrated a strong desire to pursue careers in biomedical research. The Program begins with a mandatory six-week Summer Bridge Program and continues in the freshman and sophomore academic years with foundational STEM courses and engaging programming. All students will participate in a summer research experience after their sophomore year. The Co-PI/PD (a tenured female engineer with a strong research program and a record mentoring in the lab students from diverse backgrounds) and the second Co-PI/PD (current PI/PD of the UMBC MARC program and has trained over 40 undergraduates) will guide the program design. The efficacy of the program will be monitored by a multi-method evaluation study assessing both short-term and long-term outcomes.

摘要/摘要 本申请的目的是获得五年的资金来支持 在新生和大二时期，有33名学生在尊敬的学者计划中 在UMBC。目的是从 在茎领域中的人数不足，例如生物化学，化学，生物科学， 化学，化学工程，计算机工程，计算机科学，数学， 机械工程和物理，以及通过研究经验，指导和 教育活动使他们准备进入并成功参加高级荣誉计划，例如 作为我们的Marc U*星计划，荣誉学院或HHMI学者计划 寻求博士学位或医学博士/博士学位的目标。该计划将最大化研究职业的访问权限 来自历史上代表性不足的群体的这些学生的生物医学研究，特别是 那些对与生物/医学工程和成像有关的研究感兴趣的人。尊敬的 计划是故意结构化的，密集和全面的，包括关键组成部分 夏季桥梁计划，奖学金支持，教师参与，研究小组，夏季和 学年研究经验，结构化指导（教师和同伴），专业 建议和教练，强大的程序化价值观和家庭支持。这些功能是 旨在创造一个不断挑战，支持和准备的环境 竞争选择的学生满足并超过学院的期望，开始 在大二夏天的夏季前夏季，为高级准备 在大三和老年人中进行研究，然后是研究生研究。尊敬的学者会 通过Meyerhoff学者计划申请过程进行选择，专门识别 表现出强烈渴望从事生物医学研究职业的学生。这 计划始于强制性的六周夏季桥梁计划，并继续 新生和大二学年，拥有基础茎课程和参与 编程。所有学生都将在他们的夏季研究经验之后参加 大二年。 Co-Pi/PD（拥有强大研究计划的终身女性工程师， 来自不同背景的实验室学生的唱片指导）和第二个Co-Pi/PD （UMBC MARC计划的当前PI/PD，并已培训40多名本科生）将指导 程序设计。该程序的功效将通过多方法评估来监视 评估短期和长期结局的研究。
