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针对生物医学领域的少数族裔青年和女性的创新实习和近同伴指导模式，从而增加参与定量学科的少数族裔学生数量。该计划的传播和扩展将分三步进行： 1) 在国家首都地区内通过互联网以及与华府公立学校系统内既定教育举措的合作安排。 2) 在第 2 年，扩展到国家首都地区以外的一个站点。该网站将面向已经开始在我们的 STARS 计划上对其羽翼未丰的计划进行建模的团体，或者目标 #3 中讨论的特定网站之一。可能的地点位于英国《金融时报》。新泽西州蒙茅斯，因为 Constella Zimmerman 博士计划启动 STARS 计划。 3) 将计划扩展到选定城市内的特定地点，利用尚未制定 SEPA 计划的州的现有联系来传播我们适合其需求的模型计划。 STARS（高级研究技能学生培训）是一项迅速成熟的计划，主要为国家首都地区代表性不足的少数族裔学生提供服务。为期一到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相关的适合年龄的方案。
