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研究培训 33 名一年级和二年级学生参加了 ESTEEMED 学者计划 在UMBC。目的是招募、留住和培训本科生和大二学生 在生物化学、化学、生物科学等 STEM 领域代表性不足的群体 化学、化学工程、计算机工程、计算机科学、数学、 机械工程和物理学，并通过研究经验、指导和 教育活动帮助他们进入高级荣誉课程并取得成功，例如 作为我们的 MARC U*STAR 计划、荣誉学院或 HHMI 学者计划， 攻读博士学位或医学博士/博士学位的目标。该计划将最大限度地增加从事研究职业的机会 为这些来自历史上代表性不足的群体的学生进行生物医学研究，特别是 对生物/医学工程和成像相关研究感兴趣的人。尊敬的 计划经过精心设计、密集且全面，关键组成部分包括 暑期桥梁计划、奖学金支持、教师参与、学习小组、暑期和 学年研究经验、结构化指导（教师和同行）、专业 建议和指导、强大的计划价值观和家庭支持。这些功能是 旨在创造一个不断挑战、支持和准备的环境 竞争性地选拔学生以满足并超越学院的期望，开始 从大一前的暑假到大二的暑假，为他们的高级课程做好准备 在大三和大四进行研究，然后进行研究生研究。受人尊敬的学者将 通过迈耶霍夫学者计划申请流程进行选择，具体确定 表现出强烈愿望从事生物医学研究职业的学生。这 课程从为期六周的强制性夏季桥梁课程开始，并在 大一和大二学年提供基础 STEM 课程和引人入胜的课程 编程。所有学生在毕业后都将参加暑期研究经历 大二。 Co-PI/PD（一位终身女性工程师，拥有强大的研究项目和 对来自不同背景的实验室学生的创纪录指导）和第二位联合 PI/PD （现任 UMBC MARC 项目 PI/PD，已培训 40 多名本科生）将指导 程序设计。该计划的有效性将通过多种方法评估来监测 评估短期和长期结果的研究。
