Despite some recent progress, recruiting underrepresented minority students into graduate, science-based, research programs remains challenging; this applies to alcohol research training as well as other areas of health research. In an effort to strengthen the pipeline of underrepresented minority (as well as nonminority) students, we propose to develop and implement a two-week, intensive summer program for promising minority and nonminority undergraduates, the Alcohol Research Training Summer School (ARTSS). The ARTSS will provide a broad, high quality, and stimulating introduction to alcohol research, drawing upon a national pool of visiting faculty members (drawn from the training directors of NIAAA predoctoral training programs). Specifically, the ARTSS will, on an annual basis, offer a residential summer program consisting of broad overview of basic and applied topics in biomedical and psychosocial research areas through a series of didactic lectures and supplemental talks and structured learning activities. The ensemble of activities planned is intended to excite students about research careers in alcohol, provide encouragement and support for pursuing such a career, and provide needed guidance and opportunites to enhance success. Each year, 25 appropriately qualified undergraduate students (half drawn from under-represented minority groups) will attend the two-week session on the campus of Washington University School of Medicine. A number of activities designed to reinforce the "on campus," two-week will take place over the following year. These include program staff maintaining contact with alumni through follow-up contacts, hosting an alumni "reunion" at the annual Samuel B. Guze symposium on alcoholism (with students encouraged to participate in poster sessions and discussion groups in addition to attending the lecture series), and facilitating research internships (at students' home institutions and the labs of training faculty in NIAAA-funded, predoctoral research training programs). Over the course of the funding cycle, process and (proximal and intermediate) outcome evaluations will take place in order to maintain a feedback system for continuing quality improvement. The ARTSS (and related program elements) are viewed as a wonderful opportunity to make novel use of both the multidiscipinary resources of the MARC and its faculty as well as an efficient use of the infrastructure developed as part of the network of NIAAA predoctoral research training grants.

尽管最近取得了一些进展，但招募代表性不足的少数民族学生进入研究生，科学为基础， 研究计划仍然具有挑战性;这适用于酒精研究培训以及其他领域， 健康研究。为了加强代表性不足的少数民族（以及非少数民族）的管道， 学生，我们建议制定和实施一个为期两周的，密集的夏季计划，为有前途的 少数民族和非少数民族大学生，酒精研究培训暑期学校（ARTSS）。的 ARTSS将提供一个广泛的，高质量的，刺激的介绍酒精研究，借鉴 国家访问教师库（来自NIAAA博士前培训的培训主任 程序）。具体来说，ARTSS将每年提供一个住宿夏季计划，包括 的生物医学和心理社会研究领域的基本和应用课题的广泛概述，通过一个 一系列教学讲座和补充讲座以及结构化的学习活动。述全体 计划的活动旨在激发学生对酒精研究事业的兴趣， 和支持追求这样的职业生涯，并提供必要的指导和机会，以提高成功。 每年，25名合格的本科生（一半来自代表性不足的少数民族）， 将参加在华盛顿大学医学院举行的为期两周的会议。一 一些旨在强化“校园”的活动，将在接下来的一年里举行，为期两周。 其中包括项目工作人员通过后续联系与校友保持联系， “重聚”在一年一度的塞缪尔B。关于酗酒问题的古泽座谈会（鼓励学生参加 在海报会议和讨论小组除了参加讲座系列），并促进 研究实习（在学生的家庭机构和实验室的培训教师在NIAAA资助， 博士前研究培训计划）。在供资周期、进程和（近端和 将进行成果评价，以维持一个反馈系统， 质量改进。ARTSS（及相关计划元素）被视为一个绝佳的机会， 创新利用机读目录的多学科资源及其功能， 作为NIAAA博士前研究培训赠款网络的一部分开发的基础设施。
