Building Diversity in Biomedical Sciences

生物医学科学计划中的多样性建设响应RFA-HL-16-008 并寻求延续其在保护下发起的近25年的卓越传统 由NHLBI T35赞助的最初的少数民族短期培训计划。在过去 十五年来，我们的项目已经培养了237名本科生 NIH认为在生物医学科学中代表性不足的群体。所有这些都是 学员已完成本科学位或仍在注册。续 与近97%的校友接触后发现，70%的校友在毕业后进入了 研究生健康科学学位课程，共有90%的人在从事 生物医学工作人员。在未来一段时期内，我们将在这一成功记录的基础上，通过 提供为期10周的强化指导夏季研究体验，重点是 心血管和肺部疾病以及与NHLBI直接相关的问题。这个 培训计划将由教育奖学金和生物医学提供信息 科学。研究将通过口头和书面交流的培训来补充 通过积累技能和增强自信的经历。实习生将是 暴露于基础科学可以通过临床直接影响健康的方式 联系研讨会并了解生物医学科学职业的广度 通过关于境内流离失所者和职业规划的会议。一个由40名教职员工组成的小组 这项研究与NHLBI每年夏天培训15名本科生的目标是一致的。一个 形成性和总结性评价计划将支持该计划，并供 主任和计划指导委员会对计划进行适当的修改。

The Building Diversity in Biomedical Sciences Program responds to RFA-HL-16-008 and seeks to continue its nearly 25-year tradition of excellence initiated under the aegis of the original NHLBI T35-sponsored short term minority training programs. In the past fifteen years, our program has trained 237 undergraduate students who are members of groups recognized by NIH as underrepresented in biomedical science. All of these trainees have completed their undergraduate degrees or remain enrolled. Continued contact with nearly 97% of these alumni reveals that after graduation 70% have entered graduate health science degree programs and a total of 90% are engaged in the biomedical workforce. In the coming period, we will build on this record of success by providing an intensive 10-week mentored summer research experience with a focus on cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and issues of direct concern to NHLBI. The training program will be informed by educational scholarship as well as biomedical science. Research will be supplemented by training in oral and written communication through experiences that build skills and enhance self-confidence. Trainees will be exposed to the ways basic science can directly impact health through a Clinical Connections Workshop and learn about the breadth of biomedical science careers through sessions on IDPs and career planning. A group of 40 faculty members whose research is aligned with the NHLBI mission will train 15 undergraduates each summer. A formative and summative evaluation plan will support the program and be used by the Directors and the Program Steering Committee to modify the program as appropriate.
