PROJECT SUMMARY Project ACE (ACtion for Equity: A BUILDing SCHOLARS Pipeline) proposes to create a pipeline of academically and socially prepared Hispanic students from three economically disadvantaged high schools in Far West Texas and Southern New Mexico who will pursue undergraduate majors and eventually careers in biomedical science research. Drawing on The University of Texas at El Paso's (UTEP) BUILDing SCHOLARS (Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity: Southwest Consortium of Health-Oriented education Leaders and Research Scholars) grant and couched in Johnson and Bozeman's (2012) asset bundles framework, Project ACE is unique because it exposes students to interdisciplinary biomedical research at the high school level; incorporates their teachers in research experiences; and engages students' families in their academic and research skills growth. The proposal seeks to accomplish its goal of increasing diversity in the biomedical sciences through creating a pipeline of prepared Hispanic high school students by: (1) enhancing their high school teachers' research skills and knowledge of careers in biomedical research through participation in mentored summer research experiences; (2) fostering a culture of high academic achievement amongst high school students through rigorous classroom instruction using research-infused curriculum that will be complemented by tutoring, SAT/ACT preparation and résumé writing; and (3) developing a research culture for high school students, where high school students will be engaged in research activities. High school students will be socialized into science through yearly symposia, and interaction with near-peer mentors, graduate student tutors and UTEP faculty members who will serve as research mentors. This entails a multi-tiered mentoring approach which involves research to be performed at both the student's high school as well as at UTEP. By engaging in research at the high school level, we expect to see increased science identity and research self-efficacy in the participating students; improved research skills and increased interest in biomedical careers. By fostering a culture of high academic achievement, we expect that participating students will become more competitive applicants for merit-based scholarship opportunities at the postsecondary level and be more prepared for the biomedical research workforce. By involving high school teachers in contemporary biomedical research and infusing research and active learning principles into high school curriculum, we expect their students to be more engaged in learning, more excited by biomedical research, and more likely to pursue biomedical majors as undergraduates. This proposal is significant because it will leverage BUILDing SCHOLARS and NIH-funded programs at UTEP in order to further contribute to the diversification of the biomedical research workforce.

项目摘要 Project Ace（公平行动：建筑学者管道）提案，以创建一个管道 学术和社会上的西班牙裔学生来自三所经济不利的高中 远西得克萨斯州和新墨西哥州南部，他们将在本科专业的专业和最终从事职业 生物医学科学研究。利用德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索（El Paso）（UTEP）建筑学者 （建筑基础设施导致多元化：西南面向卫生的教育领袖联盟和 研究学者）在约翰逊（Johnson and Bozeman）（2012）的资产包框架中，授予和助学金 ACE之所以独一无二，是因为它使学生在高中一级接触跨学科的生物医学研究。 将他们的老师纳入研究经验；并让学生的家庭参与学术和 研究技能的增长。该提议旨在实现增加生物医学多样性的目标 通过创建准备好西班牙裔高中学生的渠道，通过：（1）增强他们的高位 学校教师的研究技能和对生物医学研究的职业人士的知识，通过参与 指导了夏季研究经验； （2）培养高位学术成就的文化 通过严格的课堂教学使用研究注入研究的课程的学生 通过辅导，SAT/ACT准备和简历写作完成； （3）开发一种研究文化 高中生，高中生将从事研究活动。高中生 将通过每年的研讨会与科学社交，并与近点的导师互动，毕业生 将担任研究导师的学生导师和UTEP教师。这需要一个多层 指导方法涉及在学生高中以及在 UTEP。通过在高中的研究中，我们希望看到科学身份的提高和 研究参与学生的自我效能；提高了研究技能并提高了对 生物医学职业。通过培养高学术成就的文化，我们希望参与的学生 在大专院校的基于绩效的科学机会方面，将成为更具竞争力的申请人 并为生物医学研究人员做好准备。通过让高中老师参与 当代生物医学研究并注入研究和积极学习原理 课程，我们希望他们的学生更多地参与学习，生物医学研究更兴奋， 更有可能成为本科生的生物医学专业。该提议很重要，因为它将 利用UTEP建立学者和NIH资助的计划，以进一步为 生物医学研究人员的多元化。
