DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To promote science exposure and career development for underrepresented minorities, we propose to conduct a two-year research-intensive training program in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The goal of the Biomedical Scholars Program (BSP) is to increase the number of underrepresented undergraduate students (minorities, persons with disabilities and economically disadvantaged students) who enter a PhD program in the biosciences. Wright State University (WSU) is a research-oriented institution with a climate conducive to recruitment of the targeted populations. Prospective BSP candidates will be WSU science majors who are members of groups underrepresented in science and who express interest in graduate training. A total of 40 students over five years will participate in the two year program. Spanning the students' third and fourth years of undergraduate education, components of the program will address one or more of the detailed objectives. The lead program element is a research project in the biomedical/behavioral sciences with one of twenty-eight participating faculty mentors from eight departments. Additional activities aimed at accomplishing the program's objectives are enrichment workshops, such as biostatistics, attendance at regional and national scientific meetings, participation in laboratory meetings and a journal club, and exposure of trainees to the scientific workplace. The program will be led by Drs. Mariana Morris and Dominique Belanger. Morris is a biomedical scientist and an able administrator with a track record in minority training. Belanger is the new coordinator of WSU undergraduate research. The program objectives are related to Academic Training, Research Training, Commitment and Motivation for Research, Professional Skills and Preparation for Graduate School Application. The evaluation program will assess the effectiveness of the interventions and record short and long term outcomes. We predict that completion of this carefully crafted training program will prepare the trainees for success in PhD studies and significantly increase the probability that these underrepresented individuals will enter and persist in productive scientific careers. The end result will be an increase in scientific diversity, locally at WSU and in the global workforce. . PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: A two-year research-intensive training program in the biomedical/behavioral sciences is proposed for persons from underrepresented groups. The goal is for the Biomedical Scholars to complete the research training program, to participate in academic enhancement activities and to enroll in a top quality PhD program.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了促进代表性不足的少数民族的科学曝光和职业发展，我们建议在生物医学和行为科学领域进行两年的研究密集型培训计划。生物医学学者计划（BSP）的目标是增加代表性不足的本科生（少数群体，残疾人和经济不利的学生）的数量，这些学生在生物科学中进入博士学位课程。赖特州立大学（WSU）是一个面向研究的机构，有利于招募目标人群的气候。潜在的BSP候选人将是WSU科学专业的专业，他们是科学领域人数不足的团体成员，并且对研究生培训表示兴趣。在五年中，共有40名学生将参加两年计划。跨越学生在本​​科教育的第三年和第四年，该计划的组成部分将解决一个或多个详细目标。领先的计划元素是生物医学/行为科学领域的研究项目，其中一位来自八个部门的28名参与教师导师之一。旨在实现该计划目标的其他活动包括丰富的研讨会，例如生物统计学，参加区域和国家科学会议，参加实验室会议和期刊俱乐部以及受训者接触科学工作场所。该程序将由Drs领导。 Mariana Morris和Dominique Belanger。莫里斯（Morris）是一位生物医学科学家，也是一位能够在少数群体培训方面记录的能力管理员。 Belanger是WSU本科研究的新协调员。该计划的目标与学术培训，研究培训，承诺和研究，专业技能和研究生院应用的准备有关。评估计划将评估干预措施的有效性，并记录短期和长期结果。我们预测，这项精心制作的培训计划的完成将使受训者在博士研究中取得成功，并显着增加这些代表性不足的人进入并坚持生产性科学职业的可能性。最终结果将是在WSU和全球劳动力中本地的科学多样性增加。 。 公共卫生相关性：针对来自代表性不足的群体的人提出了一项为期两年的研究密集型培训计划。目的是让生物医学学者完成研究培训计划，参加学术增强活动并参加高质量的博士学位计划。
