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. .

描述（由申请人提供）：为了促进科学曝光和职业发展的代表性不足的少数民族，我们建议在生物医学和行为科学进行为期两年的研究密集型培训计划。生物医学学者计划（BSP）的目标是增加进入生物科学博士课程的代表性不足的本科生（少数民族，残疾人和经济困难的学生）的数量。赖特州立大学（WSU）是一所研究型大学，其氛围有利于招募目标人群。未来的BSP候选人将是WSU科学专业的学生，他们是科学领域代表性不足的群体的成员，并对研究生培训表示兴趣。共有40名学生超过五年将参加为期两年的计划。跨越学生的本科教育的第三和第四年，该计划的组成部分将解决一个或多个详细的目标。主要计划元素是生物医学/行为科学的研究项目，来自八个部门的二十八名参与教师导师之一。旨在实现该方案目标的其他活动包括：充实讲习班，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，以及让受训人员接触科学工作场所。该计划将由Mariana Morris和Dominique Belanger博士领导。莫里斯是一位生物医学科学家和一位能干的管理人员，在少数族裔培训方面拥有良好的记录。贝朗格是WSU本科研究的新协调员。该计划的目标是有关学术培训，研究培训，承诺和动机的研究，专业技能和准备研究生院申请。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，完成这个精心设计的培训计划将为学员在博士研究中取得成功做好准备，并显着增加这些代表性不足的个人进入并坚持从事生产性科学事业的可能性。最终结果将是科学多样性的增加，在WSU本地和全球劳动力。.
