Consistent with our institution’s continued support of competitive students from underrepresented/underserved, and/or disadvantaged backgrounds, we are seeking to increase diversity in the neurosciences by the implement a sustainable undergraduate pre-biomedical sciences enrichment platform to strengthen our pipeline. The proposed “Inspiring Diversity to Explore the Mind in the 21st Century: The NIHNDS/LSUHSC-NO, Undergraduate Diversity in Neuroscience Research Experiences” Program is a one (1) year, non-residential/commutator undergraduate summer academic enrichment program, which will provide students from partnered-institutions the opportunity to perform research and experience graduate education under the egis of neurosciences. The implementation of our undergraduate academic enrichment program will continue to incorporate the resources of the LSUHSC- NO institution, advancing the and conduct of a robust, evidence-based enrichment program, based on the development of core competencies, such as critical thinking and reasoning, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, and science competencies, which are essential tools for aspiring biomedical professions candidates. These items, along with mentorship and empowerment, will allow our scholars to navigate successfully the admissions pathway into health professions education. Our target student population will focus on Louisiana residents who are rising sophomores and junior undergraduate students, who are interested in biomedical careers in the neurosciences and who are attending local/partnered-institutions, Through well-established partnerships, we will continue to leverage partnerships with our LSU Main Campus, regional historically black colleges/universities; predominantly minority serving institutions (including, but not limited to Xavier University of Louisiana, Dillard University, and Southern University of New Orleans) as well as regional institutions such as, the University of New Orleans, and Tulane University for program recruitment. Our programmatic strategy is to select 6 student scholars, yearly, who are rising sophomores and juniors. Our core curriculum will provide career development activities in the neurosciences, inclusive of the integration of leadership and professionalism, as well as separate laboratory experiences, critical thinking and reading skills, and skills’ preparation for professional schools’ entrance examination, the GRE. We will address fundamental principles of critical thinking & reasoning, medical ethics, cultural competence, and professionalism. Program enrichment workshops will provide: 1) scholars with awareness of career path options in the neurosciences, such as our PhD program, as well as our dual-degree track of MD/PhD programs; 2) facilitation of mentoring relationships with biomedical/health professions faculty, students, and neuroscience researchers; 3) advising on Pre-admissions biomedical professions admissions tools – Professional curriculum vitae (CV)/resume’ development and approaches to admissions interviews.

与我们机构对来自代表性不足/服务不足和/或弱势背景的有竞争力的学生的持续支持相一致，我们正在寻求通过实施可持续的本科预科生物医学科学富集平台来增加神经科学的多样性，以加强我们的管道。拟议的“在21世纪探索思想的多样性：NIHNDS/LSUHSC-NO，神经科学研究经验的本科多样性”计划是一个为期一年的非住宅/换向器本科夏季学术充实计划，将为来自合作机构的学生提供在神经科学的egis下进行研究和体验研究生教育的机会。我们的本科学术充实计划的实施将继续纳入LSUHSC的资源- NO机构，推进和进行一个强大的，以证据为基础的充实计划，基于核心能力的发展，如批判性思维和推理，人际和自我能力，以及科学能力，这是有抱负的生物医学专业候选人的基本工具。这些项目，沿着导师和授权，将使我们的学者成功地导航到卫生专业教育的招生途径。我们的目标学生群体将集中在路易斯安那州的居民谁是上升的大学生和大三的本科生，谁有兴趣在神经科学的生物医学事业，谁是参加当地/合作机构，通过建立良好的合作伙伴关系，我们将继续利用我们的路易斯安那州立大学主校区，区域历史上的黑人学院/大学的合作伙伴关系;主要是少数民族服务机构（包括但不限于路易斯安那州的泽维尔大学，迪拉德大学和新奥尔良南方大学）以及区域机构，如新奥尔良大学和杜兰大学的计划招聘。我们的方案战略是选择6名学生学者，每年，谁是上升的大学生和大三学生。我们的核心课程将提供神经科学的职业发展活动，包括领导力和专业精神的整合，以及单独的实验室经验，批判性思维和阅读技能，以及专业学校入学考试GRE的技能准备。我们将讨论批判性思维和推理，医学伦理，文化能力和专业精神的基本原则。计划丰富研讨会将提供：1）学者在神经科学的职业道路选择的意识，如我们的博士课程，以及我们的MD/博士课程的双学位轨道; 2）促进与生物医学/健康专业的教师，学生和神经科学研究人员的指导关系; 3）提供入学前生物医学专业入学工具的建议-专业简历（CV）/简历的开发和入学面试方法。
