DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Yale University School of Medicine has a strong record of positive outcomes in supporting diverse students to develop careers in biomedical research. This continuing renewal application seeks NIH-NHLBI Short-Term Training Research Program support for the Yale Biomedical Science Training and Enrichment Program (BioSTEP). The specific objectives of BioSTEP are 1) to identify and recruit academically talented science students from a national pool of minority and disadvantaged students who provide evidence of strong interest and aptitude for postgraduate doctoral training in PhD and MD/PhD careers; 2) to provide trainees with a strongly mentored short-term research experience which supports their interest, preparation and competitiveness for doctoral research training positions, especially in PhD and MD/PhD degree programs; 3) to promote the enrollment of BioSTEP trainees in research-intensive institutions for doctoral and postdoctoral training; and 4) to increase the enrollment of minority and disadvantaged students in Yale University graduate biomedical science programs, especially students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic-Serving Institutions. BioSTEP trainees have a high rate of matriculation to graduate science and professional programs (93%). Of these students, 23% are training for PhD or MD/PhD degrees. The current application builds from this experience with a goal of increasing PhD or MD/PhD program enrollment to 50% of trainees. Trainees will carry out individual research projects in laboratories of Yale School of Medicine. The program exposes students to modern investigative methods and technologies as a basis for preparing them for careers in areas relevant to cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic disorders. Students are also provided with a range of support to help guide their careers into appropriate areas of biomedical science. Administered by the Yale Office of Multicultural Affairs, BioSTEP is one of several well-funded pipelines programs conducted at Yale School of Medicine for minority and disadvantaged students. Trainees are exposed to an exciting environment of research and collaboration while obtaining the benefits of strong professional and peer mentorship. Through a web-based follow up and program information dissemination, BioSTEP students are supported and tracked throughout their careers. This application provides training mechanisms to increase the diversity of the health professions workforce and to engage individuals previously underrepresented in biomedical research in basic and clinical research careers that address issues of important to resolving health disparities and improving healthcare in underserved communities.

描述（由申请人提供）：耶鲁大学医学院在支持多元化学生发展生物医学研究职业方面拥有良好的积极成果。此持续更新申请寻求 NIH-NHLBI 短期培训研究计划对耶鲁大学生物医学科学培训和丰富计划 (BioSTEP) 的支持。 BioSTEP 的具体目标是 1) 从全国少数民族和弱势学生库中识别和招募具有学术才华的理科学生，这些学生提供了对博士和医学博士/博士职业的研究生博士培训的浓厚兴趣和能力的证据； 2) 为学员​​提供强有力的短期研究经验，以支持他们对博士研究培训职位的兴趣、准备和竞争力，特别是在博士和医学博士/博士学位课程中； 3）推动BioSTEP学员在研究密集型机构招收博士生和博士后培养； 4）增加耶鲁大学研究生生物医学科学项目中少数族裔和弱势学生的入学人数，特别是来自历史悠久的黑人学院和大学以及西班牙裔服务机构的学生。 BioSTEP 学员的科学和专业研究生课程录取率很高 (93%)。在这些学生中，23% 正在接受博士学位或医学博士/博士学位的培训。当前的应用程序以这一经验为基础，目标是将博士或医学博士/博士项目的学员入学率提高到 50%。学员将在耶鲁大学医学院的实验室开展个人研究项目。该项目让学生接触现代研究方法和技术，为他们在心血管、肺和血液疾病相关领域的职业做好准备。还为学生提供一系列支持，帮助引导他们的职业生涯进入生物医学科学的适当领域。 BioSTEP 由耶鲁大学多元文化事务办公室管理，是耶鲁大学医学院为少数族裔和弱势学生开展的几个资金充足的管道项目之一。学员将接触到令人兴奋的研究和协作环境，同时获得强大的专业和同行指导的好处。通过基于网络的跟进和计划信息传播，BioSTEP 学生在整个职业生涯中都得到支持和跟踪。该应用程序提供了培训机制，以增加卫生专业人员队伍的多样性，并让以前在生物医学研究中代表性不足的个人参与基础和临床研究职业，解决对解决健康差距和改善服务不足社区的医疗保健的重要问题。
