项目摘要

Ensuring that the biomedical research workforce is exceptional requires that the best scientific minds from all parts of society choose to participate. This is especially important for neuroscience, as major challenges remain for developing effective strategies to treat neurological disorders. Most individuals are exposed to neuroscience as a field of study late in the career decision process. This can be problematic as rigorous research experience is necessary to commit to a career investigating neurological disease. The Explorations in Neuroscience Research for High School Students program was initiated to fill this gap. Trained mentors will supervise high school students as they work for seven weeks on substantive research projects in neuroscience, neurological injury, or neurodegeneration. Experienced faculty will provide complementary workshops to promote professional development and prepare individuals for neuroscience research experience in college and beyond. Participants will be selected from the Columbus metropolitan area and include individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in neuroscience research. We will track the impact of the program on cognitive factors known to promote choice and persistence in research activities. We will also track participants’ career trajectories after the program to discern the long-term effects of this seven- week experience and its impact on the biomedical neuroscience research workforce. It is expected that this program will encourage participants to explore degrees in neuroscience, excel in high quality neuroscience research experiences, and promote development of a strong cohort of diverse young investigators dedicated to neurological disease research.

要确保生物医学研究队伍的卓越性，就需要社会各方面最优秀的科学人才选择参与。这对神经科学尤其重要，因为开发有效的治疗神经系统疾病的策略仍然是主要的挑战。大多数人在职业决策过程的后期才接触到神经科学作为一个研究领域。这可能是有问题的，因为严格的研究经验是致力于研究神经系统疾病的职业所必需的。“高中生神经科学研究探索”项目的启动就是为了填补这一空白。训练有素的导师将指导高中生进行为期七周的实质性研究项目，涉及神经科学、神经损伤或神经变性。经验丰富的教师将提供补充研讨会，以促进专业发展，并为个人在大学及以后的神经科学研究经验做好准备。参与者将从哥伦布大都会地区选择，包括传统上在神经科学研究中代表性不足的群体的个人。我们将跟踪该计划对认知因素的影响，已知这些因素促进了研究活动中的选择和坚持。我们还将在项目结束后跟踪参与者的职业轨迹，以辨别这七周经验的长期影响及其对生物医学神经科学研究人员的影响。预计该计划将鼓励参与者探索神经科学学位，在高质量的神经科学研究经验中脱颖而出，并促进一支致力于神经疾病研究的强大的多元化年轻研究人员队伍的发展。
