Neurological disorders will represent an increasing burden on the US health care system. Creative ideas, innovative approaches using classic basic research methods, as well as cutting-edge technologies are needed to advance our understanding of the intricate regulatory networks governing brain function in normal and disease states. For this work, we need to harness the unique capacities of all citizens. By ignoring the potential assets that individuals from UR groups can bring to the table, we stall the progress of discovery. We postulate that students from underrepresented backgrounds and those who are D/HH having the talent to succeed and do innovative leading-edge research need only exposure, opportunity, resources, social capital and training. The specific aim of this proposal is: to significantly increase the number of undergraduate students from underrepresented and deaf/hard-of-hearing backgrounds who pursue PhDs or MD-PhDs in the neurosciences. Hypothesis: Students from underrepresented minority backgrounds (URM) or who are deaf/hard-of-hearing (D/HH) and who possess high motivation and academic ability to pursue a career in the neurosciences and participate early in their careers in hands-on research, receive intensive mentoring, develop researcher competency skills, and implement skills critical for professional career development, will pursue and succeed at a significantly higher rate, training in the neurosciences at the PhD or MD-PhD level. This aim will be accomplished through the proposed Johns Hopkins Neuroscience Scholars Program (JHNSP). The program will leverage the success of an existing intervention, Project Pipeline Baltimore, which identifies and nurtures students at the high school level who have demonstrated a passion for science and developed a special appreciation for neuroscience through their secondary education and mentored hands-on research experiences. These students, who are now in or entering college, will be exposed over the course of their undergraduate studies to high quality research, mentoring, structured skills development workshops, and leadership and professional development training. During the third year of undergraduate studies, trainees will be exposed to topics and experiences that will provide them with a preview of what the transition from PhD or MD-PhD entails and what adjustments they would have to make and what skills they will need to refine. Hence, JHNSP will facilitate two critical transition periods: from high school to college, and from college to graduate school. In combination with our own concrete experiences, data suggesting that many of the program components described have positive impact on trainee self-efficacy, we believe JHNSP will have a measureable effect on advancing the careers of URM and D/HH undergraduate trainees in graduate programs and increasing their retention and career path satisfaction once they arrive. We believe that the proposed program can be a model of program coordination, integration and collaboration leading to increased retention of viable trainees in the neuroscience pipeline.

神经系统疾病将代表美国卫生保健系统的负担。有创造力的 想法，使用经典基础研究方法的创新方法以及尖端的技术是 需要提高我们对普通大脑功能的复杂监管网络的理解 和疾病状态。对于这项工作，我们需要利用所有公民的独特能力。通过忽略 我们群体中个人可以带来的潜在资产，我们陷入了发现的进步。我们 假设来自代表性不足的背景的学生和那些有才华的人 成功并进行创新的领先研究仅需要曝光，机会，资源，社会资本 和培训。该提案的具体目的是：大大增加本科生的数量 攻读博士学位或MD-PHD的学生来自代表性不足和聋哑/听力障碍背景的学生 在神经科学中。假设：来自代表性不足的少数族裔背景（URM）的学生或谁是 聋/听力（D/HH），并且具有高度动力和学术能力 神经科学并在他们的职业生涯的早期参加动手研究，接受密集的指导，发展 研究人员能力技能，并实施对于职业职业发展至关重要的技能，将追求和 以明显更高的速度成功，在博士或MD-PHD水平上对神经科学的培训。这个目标 可以通过拟议的约翰·霍普金斯神经科学学者计划（JHNSP）完成。这 计划将利用现有干预措施巴尔的摩项目管道的成功，该计划识别和 在高中培养学生对科学充满热情并发展的学生 通过中学教育对神经科学的特别感谢，并指导了动手研究 经验。这些现在正在上大学或进入大学的学生将在他们的过程中暴露 高质量研究，指导，结构化技能发展研讨会和 领导力和专业发展培训。在本科学习的第三年，学员将 暴露于主题和经验，这些主题和经验将为他们提供从博士学位或 MD-PHD需要进行哪些调整以及他们需要完善的技能。因此， JHNSP将促进两个关键的过渡期：从高中到大学，从大学到毕业 学校。结合我们自己的具体体验，数据表明许多程序 所描述的组件对受训者的自我效能有积极影响，我们相信JHNSP将有一个 在研究生课程中促进URM和D/HH本科学员的职业的可衡量效果 一旦他们到达，他们的保留和职业道路满意度提高了。我们相信提议 计划可以是计划协调，集成和协作的模型，从而增加保留率 神经科学管道中可行的受训者。
