To increase the number of scientists addressing the health disparities issue, the Distance Learning Center (DLC) has developed the Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP) as a longitudinal vehicle to produce minority biomedical researchers with the M.D./Ph.D. dual degree. Over the last ten years, the DLC has conducted an annual national search for minority "child prodigies" who seek a career in science and medicine, and has begun a class of twenty-five 7th graders on a long-term wet bench research regimen through labs in academia, government and the pharmaceutical industry. Trainees in the 7th and 8th grades engage in six weeks of summer training (classroom-based) at Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia; 9th and 10th grade summer training (apprenticeship-based) occurs across ten weeks at Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia; 11th grade summer training (internship) occurs across ten weeks at NIH-NIDA, Baltimore; 12th grade summer training (internship) occurs across ten weeks at Genetics Institute, Boston; college freshman summer training (internship) occurs across twelve weeks at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine, Toronto; college sophomore summer training (internship) occurs across twelve weeks at McGill University Faculty of Medicine, Montreal; college junior summer training (internship) occurs across twelve weeks at the NIH-NIDDK, Bethesda; college senior summer training (internship) occurs across twelve weeks at Wyeth-Ayerst Pharmaceutical Company, Philadelphia. College trainees are able to partake in school year research stints via NIH Minority Supplements. This grant request will provide the core operating budget for pre-college and college training activities, as well as provide funding for precollege trainees to receive on-line distance learning courses in the biomedical sciences during the school year. The DLC is seeking to funnel most of the PSTP trainees into NIDDK focus areas.

为了增加解决健康差距问题的科学家数量，远程学习中心(DLC)开发了医生科学家培训计划(PSTP)，作为一种纵向工具，以培养拥有医学博士/博士双学位的少数族裔生物医学研究人员。在过去的十年里，DLC每年都会在全国范围内寻找在科学和医学领域寻求职业生涯的少数族裔“神童”，并通过学术界、政府和制药行业的实验室，开始了一个由25名七年级学生组成的班级，通过长期的湿板凳研究养生法。7年级和8年级的学员在费城坦普尔大学医学院参加为期6周的暑期培训(以课堂为基础)；9年级和10年级的暑期培训(以学徒为基础)在费城坦普尔大学医学院进行，为期10周；11年级的暑期培训(实习)在巴尔的摩的NIH-NIDA进行，为期10周；12年级的暑期培训(实习)在波士顿的遗传研究所进行，为期10周；大学新生暑期培训(实习)在多伦多大学医学院进行，为期12周；大学二年级的暑期培训(实习)在蒙特利尔的麦吉尔大学医学院进行，为期12周；大学初级暑期培训(实习)在贝塞斯达的NIH-NIDDK进行，为期12周；大学高级暑期培训(实习)在费城的惠斯-艾斯特制药公司进行，为期12周。大学实习生可以通过NIH少数民族补充品参加学年的研究实习。这项赠款申请将为大学前和大学培训活动提供核心业务预算，并为大学前受训人员在学年期间接受生物医学科学在线远程学习课程提供资金。刚果民主共和国正在寻求将大多数PSTP受训人员纳入NIDDK重点领域。
