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.

神经性疾病将给美国医疗保健系统带来越来越大的负担。创意 使用经典基础研究方法的想法、创新方法以及尖端技术 需要促进我们对管理正常大脑功能的复杂调控网络的理解 和疾病状态。为了这项工作，我们需要利用所有公民的独特能力。通过忽略 来自UR组织的个人可以带来的潜在资产，我们拖延了发现的进展。我们 假设来自代表性不足背景的学生和D/HH有天赋的学生 成功和进行创新前沿研究只需要曝光率、机会、资源和社会资本 和训练。这项提议的具体目标是：显著增加本科生人数 来自代表性不足和聋人/听力障碍背景的学生攻读博士或医学博士学位 在神经科学领域。假设：来自少数族裔背景的学生(URM)或 聋人/重听人(D/HH)，并具有高度的动机和学术能力，以追求职业生涯在 神经科学和早期参与他们的职业生涯的实践研究，接受密集的指导，发展 研究人员能力技能，以及实施对职业生涯发展至关重要的技能，将追求和 在博士或医学博士级别的神经科学培训方面，成功率要高得多。这一目标将 通过拟议的约翰·霍普金斯大学神经科学学者计划(JHNSP)来完成。这个 该计划将利用现有干预措施的成功，巴尔的摩管道项目，该项目确定和 培养高中阶段的学生，他们表现出对科学的热情，并发展出 通过中学教育和有指导的实践研究对神经科学特别欣赏 经历。这些学生，谁现在在大学或进入大学，将暴露在他们的过程中 从本科学习到高质量的研究、指导、结构化的技能发展研讨会，以及 领导力和职业发展培训。在本科学习的第三年，实习生将 接触到一些主题和体验，这些主题和体验将使他们预览从博士或 MD-PhD需要他们做出哪些调整，以及他们需要完善哪些技能。因此， JHNSP将促进两个关键的过渡期：从高中到大学，从大学到毕业生 学校。结合我们自己的具体经验，数据表明，许多方案 所描述的因素对学员自我效能感有积极影响，我们相信JHNSP将会有 URM和D/HH本科生研究生职业发展的可衡量效应 并在他们到达后提高他们的留存率和职业道路满意度。我们相信，拟议的 计划可以成为计划协调、集成和协作的模式，从而提高留存率 正在研究神经科学的实习生名单。
