北欧化工 Scholars
的 BiO工程 Research E教育, AcceL害死 Innovation in STEM (北欧化工) research education program is designed to advance the diversity of the bio工程 research workforce by creating a pathway to bio工程 graduate study for regional, sociodemographically diverse students.
Diversity in the research workforce enhances the quality of research and the provision of health care, and promotes innovation and growth—attributes essential for the public’s health and to sustain our nation’s preeminence in science.
“This program will build upon Clarkson’s strong history of welcoming sociodemographically diverse students to campus and ensuring that they have the necessary mentoring support and 工程 skills to pursue their life’s work. I look forward to working with these Scholars on campus.
Dr. Melissa Richards
的 program represents a new pathway for students to learn about bio工程 research at Clarkson.
的 University has been awarded $660,475 by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bio工程 of the National Institutes of 健康 (NIH) as part of its Enhancing Science, 技术, 工程, and Math Educational Diversity (ESTEEMED) 研究 Education Experiences program.
With this grant, the university will launch the 北欧化工 Scholars program aimed at preparing a diverse cadre of students for careers in biomedical research. 的 program is led by Professor Laurel Kuxhaus; Assistant Professor of STEM Education Melissa Richards; and Associate Professor Ali Boolani.
Three students per year will begin the program and will receive intensive mentoring, a hands-on introduction to laboratory research, and paid research experiences as first- and second-year undergraduate students. 的 北欧化工 Scholars Program will educate, 鼓励, and support the students to enter the bio工程 workforce by creating a pathway to bio工程 graduate study.
Students will also be provided a series of educational experiences including a summer bridge program, first and second academic-year activities, and paid summer research experiences at the interface of 工程 and medicine.
A key strength of this program is that students will receive training in research methods from both a clinical and 工程 perspective, to prepare them to think holistically and develop practical solutions to real-world clinical problems.
A distinguishing feature of the 北欧化工 Scholars program will be comprehensive training on the science of effective mentoring in science, 技术, 工程, and math (STEM) for both the students and mentors.
