2012年实施了杰出领导者研究培训机会（retol）计划，以增加少数种族和民族在生物医学劳动力中的代表性。具体而言，reool计划旨在培养服务不足人群的科学研究能力，并解决研究项目的文化适应性问题。本文描述了reool计划在加强代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的研究培训方面的影响。40名在2012年至2019年期间完成reool项目的URM学生被邀请参加项目评估。应答率为73%，共有29名参与者。在29名参与者中，26名学员自认为是黑人或非裔美国人。数据收集采用了为该计划开发的结构化调查，使用李克特量表，范围从1到5，其中5为最佳。项目评分从4.45到4.80不等。对开放式问题的回答表明，ReTOOL在社交和使参与者适应科学思维习惯方面发挥了重要作用。定量和定性调查的结合使用表明，ReTOOL在促进参与者注册高级健康相关或专业学位课程方面非常成功。
The Research Training Opportunities for Outstanding Leaders (ReTOOL) program was implemented in 2012 to increase the representation of racial and ethnic minorities in the biomedical workforce. Specifically, the ReTOOL program aims to foster the capacity for scientific research among underserved populations as well as address the cultural appropriateness of research projects. This paper describes the impact of the ReTOOL program in enhancing the research training of underrepresented minority (URM) students. Forty URM students who completed the ReTOOL program between 2012 and 2019 were invited to participate in the program evaluation. The response rate was 73% with 29 participants. Of the 29 participants, 26 trainees self-identified as Black or African-American. A structured survey developed for the program was employed for data collection, using a Likert Scale ranging from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. The item ratings ranged from 4.45 to 4.80. Responses to open-ended questions show that ReTOOL has been instrumental in socializing and acculturating participants into the habits of scientific thinking. The combined use of quantitative and qualitative inquiry depicts that ReTOOL has been highly successful in fostering participant enrollment in advanced health-related or professional degree programs.
