项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): "Short-Term Health Research Training Program to Increase Diversity" or STREAMS provides research and academic training for undergraduate students from underrepresented groups with the ultimate goal of promoting diversity in the biomedical, behavioral and clinical workforce. The target group for the program is ethnic and racial minorities, persons with disabilities as well as those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This is an expanded training group as designated by NIH directives, and we made a successful effort to expand our student selection to include persons with disabilities. The program has the advantage of being based on the success of a T35 training program which over almost 15 years has trained more than 150 students. In this training group, 74% have completed or are involved in an advanced degree program. The Wright State University (WSU) summer program will train fourteen students/year in a high quality and supportive research environment. Co-Directors, Drs. Mariana Morris and Cameron Chumlea, are leaders in the fields of cardiovascular pharmacology and cardiovascular epidemiology, respectively. The twenty-four faculty mentors from eight departments have strong research, academic and training records. The program is focused on biomedical translational research with emphases on cardiovascular sciences. In addition to the research apprenticeship and a research symposium, students will receive training in regulatory issues, ethics, critical scientific thinking and analysis. They will participate in a didactic and demonstration course entitled, "Frontiers in Translational Research". The goal focused activities of the STREAMS short term research training program are as follows: 1) To engage trainees in hands-on research in state-of- the- art laboratories led by high quality and supportive faculty mentors; 2) To provide an introduction to the scientific workplace via visits to Procter & Gamble Research Center and the Air Force Research Laboratories, facilities located in close proximity to WSU; 3) To foster a long-term commitment to pursue a career in the biomedical sciences through an experience that demonstrates the excitement and challenges of clinically-relevant investigation; 4) To provide an academic program which will enhance their research activities; 5) To establish short and long term evaluation plans which will determine the program's status and any need for changes. We predict that completion of this carefully-crafted training program will prepare the trainees for entry into advanced degree programs in the biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences and significantly increase the probability that these underrepresented individuals will enter and persist in productive scientific careers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: A summer research training for underrepresented minority undergraduate students is proposed. The program for fourteen students combines biomedical translational research with emphases on cardiovascular sciences with academic enrichment activities. The ultimate goal is to promote diversity in the biomedical, behavioral and clinical workforce. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）：“增加多样性的短期健康研究培训计划”或流为来自代表性不足的团体的本科生提供研究和学术培训，其最终目标是促进生物医学，行为和临床劳动力的多样性。该计划的目标群体是种族和种族少数群体，残疾人以及处于弱势背景的人。这是NIH指令指定的扩展培训小组，我们成功地努力将学生的选择扩大到包括残疾人。该计划的优势是基于T35培训计划的成功，该计划已有近15年的时间培训了150多名学生。在这个培训小组中，有74％的人已经完成或参与了高级学位课程。赖特州立大学（WSU）夏季计划将在高质量和支持性的研究环境中培训14名学生/年。联合导演，博士。 Mariana Morris和Cameron Chumlea分别是心血管药理学和心血管流行病学领域的领导者。来自八个部门的二十四名教师导师拥有强大的研究，学术和培训记录。该计划的重点是生物医学转化研究，重点是心血管科学。除了研究学徒和研究研讨会外，学生还将接受监管问题，伦理，批判性科学思维和分析的培训。他们将参加题为“翻译研究的前沿”的教学和演示课程。小溪短期研究培训计划的目标为以下方式：1）让学员从事以高质量和支持的教师导师为首的最先进实验室的动手研究； 2）通过访问宝洁研究中心和空军研究实验室的访问，介绍了科学工作场所，该实验室的设施靠近WSU； 3）促进长期承诺通过证明临床上与临床相关的调查的兴奋和挑战的经验，致力于从事生物医学科学的职业； 4）提供将增强其研究活动的学术课程； 5）建立短期和长期评估计划，这些计划将决定该计划的状态和任何更改的需求。我们预测，这项精心制作的培训计划的完成将使受训者准备进入生物医学，行为和临床科学的高级学位课程，并显着增加这些代表性不足的人将进入并坚持生产性科学职业的可能性。公共卫生相关性：提出了针对代表性不足的少数族裔本科生的夏季研究培训。该计划的14名学生结合了生物医学转化研究，重点是心血管科学与学术丰富活动。最终目标是促进生物医学，行为和临床劳动力的多样性。（抽象的结尾）
