DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diverse racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities and/or having socially, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds are underrepresented in neuroscience. Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) recognizes that increasing the number of highly qualified neuroscientists from these underrepresented populations is integral to our future as an academic and research institution. Hunter College aims to increase the number of well-trained, diverse neuroscientists. The overall goal of this application is to develop a neuroscience training program at Hunter that will encourage and prepare students from diverse backgrounds to enter into and succeed in PhD programs in the neurosciences. To achieve this goal, Hunter has developed a research-educational partnership with four outstanding T32-awarded universities-New York University, Brown University, University of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University. This partnership will expose 12 BP-ENDURE-trainee students per year to a research-intensive curriculum and an environment of excellence and active research. Moreover, because of the diversity of the proposed mentors, students will be exposed to a broad spectrum of researchers, including basic neuroscientists interested in central nervous system (CNS) issues and applied neuroscientists from the areas of clinical, social, health, developmental, and cognitive neuropsychology. To achieve our goals, the following aims are proposed: (1) To develop an outstanding group of undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds dedicated to neuroscience research; (2) To provide scientific skill and research experiences to our trainees through research placement with actively funded neuroscientists; (3) To develop academic development and curriculum enhancement activities rooted in the student's research activities; (4) To maintain an effective Administrative Core to support our students' needs and development. Our measurable objectives during the requested funding period include: (1) attain 85 to 90% acceptance of trainees to graduate school programs in neuroscience; (2) improvement of our students in quantitative skills and academic achievements as well as their (3) scientific writing and oral presentations. Outcome from evaluations of the Steering Committee, the external evaluator, and the Administrative Core will guide future modifications to our training initiatives. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Hunter College of the City University of New York, New York University, Brown University, University of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University recognize that increasing the number of highly qualified neuroscientists from diverse backgrounds is integral to their futures as academic and research institutions. A partnership between these institutions aims to develop a neuroscience training program that will prepare students from diverse backgrounds to enter into and succeed in PhD programs in the neurosciences.

描述(由申请人提供)：在神经科学中，不同种族和民族群体以及残疾和/或在社会、经济或教育上处于不利地位的个人的代表性不足。纽约城市大学(CUNY)亨特学院认识到，从这些代表性不足的人群中增加高素质的神经科学家的数量，对于我们作为学术和研究机构的未来是不可或缺的。亨特学院的目标是增加训练有素、多样化的神经科学家的数量。这项申请的总体目标是在Hunter开发一个神经科学培训项目，鼓励和准备来自不同背景的学生进入神经科学博士项目并取得成功。为了实现这一目标，亨特与纽约大学、布朗大学、密歇根大学和范德比尔特大学四所优秀的T32级大学建立了研究和教育合作伙伴关系。这一合作关系将使每年12名BP耐力实习生接触到研究密集型课程以及卓越和积极的研究环境。此外，由于推荐导师的多样性，学生将接触到广泛的研究人员，包括对中枢神经系统(CNS)问题感兴趣的基础神经学家和来自临床、社会、健康、发展和认知神经心理学领域的应用神经学家。为了实现我们的目标，我们提出了以下目标：(1)培养一批具有不同背景的优秀本科生，致力于神经科学研究；(2)通过与积极资助的神经科学家进行研究，为学员提供科学技能和研究经验；(3)开展植根于学生研究活动的学术发展和课程优化活动；(4)保持有效的行政核心，以支持学生的需求和发展。在要求的资助期间，我们的可衡量目标包括：(1)达到85%至90%的学员接受神经科学研究生院课程；(2)提高我们的学生的量化技能和学术成就，以及(3)科学写作和口头陈述。指导委员会、外部评估员和行政核心的评价结果将指导我们今后对培训举措的修改。 公共卫生相关性：纽约市立大学、纽约大学、布朗大学、密歇根大学和范德比尔特大学的亨特学院认识到，增加来自不同背景的高素质神经科学家的数量对于他们作为学术和研究机构的未来是不可或缺的。这些机构之间的合作旨在开发一个神经科学培训计划，为来自不同背景的学生进入神经科学博士项目并取得成功做好准备。
