DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this project is to expand and disseminate our innovative intemship and near-peer mentoring models for minority youth and women in the biomedical sciences, thus increasing the number of minority students participating in the quantitative disciplines. Dissemination and expansion of the program will take place in three steps: 1) Within the National Capital Region through the Internet and co-operative arrangements with established educational initiatives within DCPS system. 2) For year 2, expand to one site outside the National Capital area. The site would be for a group that had already begun to model their fledgling program on our STARS program, or one of the specific sites discussed in Aim #3. The likely site would be at Ft. Monmouth, NJ, since Dr. Constella Zimmerman is planning to start a STARS initiative. 3) Extend the program to specific sites within selected cities, Utilize current contacts in states that do not yet have a SEPA program to disseminate our model program adapted to be appropriate for their needs. STARS, Student Training in Advanced Research Skills, is a rapidly maturing program that primarily serves underrepresented minority students of the National Capital Area. A one to four-week series of experiments provide basic laboratory skills, while illustrating the fundamental principles of science, mathematics, engineering and technology. Research scientists, in conjunction with their college assistants, design ageappropriate protocols relating to current Institute research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该项目的长期目标是扩大和传播我们在生物医学科学方面为少数民族青年和妇女提供的创新性的内部辅导和近同伴指导模式，从而增加少数民族学生参加数量学科的人数。该方案的传播和扩大将分三个步骤进行：1）在国家首都地区，通过互联网和与DCPS系统内既定教育举措的合作安排。2)第二年，扩展到国家首都地区以外的一个地点。该网站将是一个已经开始在我们的STARS计划上模拟他们的羽翼未丰的计划的小组，或者是目标3中讨论的特定网站之一。可能的地点是在Ft。蒙茅斯，新泽西州，因为博士康斯特拉齐默尔曼正计划开始一个明星倡议。3)将该计划扩展到选定城市的特定地点，利用目前在尚未实施SEPA计划的州的联系人，传播我们的示范计划，以适应他们的需求。STARS，高级研究技能的学生培训，是一个迅速成熟的计划，主要服务于国家首都地区代表性不足的少数民族学生。一至四周的系列实验提供基本的实验室技能，同时说明科学，数学，工程和技术的基本原理。研究科学家与他们的大学助理一起，设计与当前研究所研究有关的适合年龄的协议。
