ADV MINORITIES' GLOBAL RES TRAINING IN NEW MILLENIUM

描述（改编自应用程序）：这是一个竞争延续 申请继续六年的MIRT计划。该计划旨在 为选定的学生和教师提供支持，在五个主要是黑人 本科院校，温斯顿-塞勒姆州立大学，班尼特学院， 汉普顿大学、Medgar Evers学院和Tougaloo学院参加 在两个指定的外国研究实验室进行基础生物医学研究。 被选中的外国研究实验室是赫尔辛基大学和 新加坡国立大学决定继续和这两个 大学是基于他们的长期承诺和成功的跟踪记录 培训了90多名MIRT学员和教师发展科学家， 在1994年至1999年之间。此外，两所院校的导师小组 还从事细胞和分子生物学的前沿研究项目， 疾病诊断和预防。该方法与公众一致 实现疾病预防目标的卫生服务优先领域 《2000年健康人》。参与的学生和教师将被定位为 在多元文化的环境中发挥作用。MIRT的学员是 希望分享他们的研究和文化经验， 非参与者。这样，其他人就会了解情况并积极工作 以符合选择标准。该方案的计划包括 四个阶段。首先，预选阶段是学生准备的时期 他们自己在学术上竞争，并发展所需的心理技能 获得了国内的研究经验。第二阶段是研究和 为成功的受训者提供海外文化经验。三、MIRT学员分享 并利用在国外通过在国家一级的演讲获得的经验， 科学会议和继续在家中进行研究活动 在可行的情况下，这也是对教师参与者的期望。 第四，评估将持续进行，并将包括持续的研究 学生和教师的活动以及摘要/出版物的生成。 这是为国外研究阶段，继续支持要求从 MIRT计划。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted From Application): This is a competing continuation application to continue a six-year old MIRT Program. The program is designed to provide support for selected students and faculty at five predominately black undergraduate institutions, Winston-Salem State University, Bennett College, Hampton University, Medgar Evers College and Tougaloo College, to participate in basic biomedical research at two designated foreign research laboratories. The foreign research laboratories selected are the University of Helsinki and the National University of Singapore. The decision to continue with these two universities is based on their long-term commitment and success track records in training more than 90 MIRT trainees and faculty developmental scientists between 1994 - 1999. In addition, the mentor groups of the two institutions also engage in cutting edge research projects in cell and molecular biology, and disease diagnosis and prevention. The approach is consistent to the Public Health Service priority areas of achieving disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2000". Participating students and faculty will be positioned to function effectively in a multi-cultural environment. The MIRT trainees are expected to share their research and cultural experiences with non-participants. The others will thus be informed and motivated to work towards meeting the selection criteria. The plan of the program consists of four phases. First, the pre-selection phase is the period the students prepare themselves to compete academically and develop the required psychomotor skills acquired in domestic research experience. The second phase is the research and cultural abroad experience for successful trainees. Third, MIRT trainees share and utilize the experience gained abroad through presentations at national scientific meetings and continuation of research activities at the home institution when feasible. The same is expected from the faculty participants. Fourth, assessment will be on-going and will include continued research activities by the students and faculty and generation of abstract/publications. It is for the research abroad phase that continued support is requested from the MIRT Program.
