ENHANCING TRAINING FOR MINORITY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHERS

这个项目的长期目标是让代表人数不足的人参与进来 少数族裔参与积极的研究工作，这将提高他们的 作为生物医学研究人员的承诺和成功。这个项目将 为代表不足的人提供研究和教育机会 处于生物医学职业生涯三个不同阶段的少数民族学生 发展：本科生--增强他们的学习兴趣和 为博士或医学博士/博士教育做准备；研究生-至 提高他们的绩效、留校率和毕业率；以及 学生--提高他们从事研究的兴趣。夏天 每年将为10名本科生提供研究机会 通过SMART计划。这些参与者将由以下人员匹配 对从事尖端技术的教研员感兴趣 研究。在这十周的研究计划中，学生们将成为 成为研究团队的一员，并有机会 进行他们已经准备好的最先进的研究。他们 将被鼓励不仅学习新技术，而且参与 通过解释和设计实验在研究中的智力 随着他们对该项目的理解不断加深。研究部分 该计划将辅之以研讨会、研究讨论 团体、职业咨询、职业发展活动和GRE 准备会议。研究生教育将通过以下方式得到加强 为每个少数民族学生制定个性化的发展计划。 该项目建议在#年的早期阶段资助10名学生/年。 他们的研究生培训。这些学生将有机会 参加暑期预科课程并参加预科课程 在进入我们的研究生之前加强他们的背景的课程 课程。他们将有更多的时间来完成课程作业 如果需要，可提供广泛的辅导支持。教师指导，机会 参加有关奖学金申请和培训的会议和培训 将提供科学家所需的实用技能建设。 加强少数民族研究生联谊会的活动 通过增加教职员工的参与和举办研讨会 将以当地和外部少数民族研究人员为特色的系列。 将为少数族裔医学生提供研究机会 将鼓励谁参加少数群体研究系列研讨会 以及我们一年一度的研究生座谈会。六到十二个月的研究 将为少数族裔医学生提供职位，这些学生将 被安排在与他们自己的利益相匹配的调查人员那里进行 成功几率高并被培育为未来的项目 研究人员。

The long range goal of this project is to involve underrepresented minorities in positive research endeavors that will enhance their commitment and success as biomedical researchers. This project will provide research and educational opportunities for underrepresented minority students who are in three different phases of biomedical career development: undergraduates - to strengthen their interest in and preparation for Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. education; graduate students - to improve their performance, retention and graduation rates; and medical students - to enhance their interest in conducting research. Summer research opportunities will be provided for ten undergraduates/year through the SMART Program. These participants will be matched by interest to faculty investigators who are engaged in cutting edge research. During this ten week research program students will become incorporated as a member of the research team and have the opportunity to conduct the most advanced research for which they are prepared. They will be encouraged to not only learn new techniques but to participate intellectually in the research by interpreting and designing experiments as they develop an understanding of the project. The research component of the program will be supplemented by seminars, research discussion groups, career counseling, career development activities and GRE preparatory sessions. Graduate student education will be enhanced by creating an individualized development plan for each minority student. The project proposes to fund ten students/year in the early phases of their graduate training. These students will have opportunities to participate in a summer prematriculation program and take preparatory courses to strengthen their backgrounds before entering our graduate courses. They will have extended time to complete coursework with extensive tutoring support if needed. Faculty mentoring, opportunities to attend conferences and training in fellowship application and building practical skills needed by scientists will be provided. Activities of the Minority Graduate Student Association will be enhanced through increased faculty involvement and presentation of a seminar series that will feature local and external minority researchers. Research opportunities will be provided for minority medical students who will be encouraged to attend the Minority Research Seminar Series and our annual Graduate Student Symposium. Six to twelve month research positions will be provided for minority medical students who will be placed with investigators whose interests match their own to conduct projects with a high probability of success and be cultivated as future researchers.
