DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This planning grant requested by The University at Texas at El Paso (UTEP) will focus efforts on the development of an innovative program called BUILDing SCHOLARS (Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity: Southwest Consortium of Health-Oriented education Leaders and Research Scholars). The long-term goal is to design a program that will train the next generation of biomedical scientists from US Southwest underrepresented groups through the creation of a multi-institution consortium to include Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. The specific aims of the intended BUILDing SCHOLARS are as follows: (1) solidify the intra- and cross-institutional network and work together with leaders fro partner institutions to develop a highly effective program for training and mentoring undergraduate students; (2) conduct a formal capacities/needs-assessment of biomedical and socio-behavioral research training infrastructure at UTEP and partner institutions to inform the design of the program; and (3) develop strategic activities for the student training and mentoring aspect of the program. The first aim will be achieved through a series of conference calls, virtual collaborative meetings and site visits and will culminate in a face-to-face workshop at UTEP with leaders from all consortium institutions to develop the strategic plan. The second aim will be addressed through surveys of students and faculty members, and program director interviews at the primary and partner institutions. The third aim will be achieved through the development of recruitment and retention strategies, a mentor training plan, an advisory committee, and an evaluation model. The activities are innovative in part because of the trans-disciplinary emphasis on Hispanic Health; the use of an assets bundling approach to overcoming research training barriers; integration of technology to link partners and enhance student connectivity; and development of courses (face-to-face, online and blended) that integrate disciplines and institutions. This planning application is significant because it takes a regional approach to designing a multi-institutional biomedical research training and mentoring program that will meet the needs of underrepresented groups concentrated in the US Southwest.

描述（由申请人提供）：由在埃尔帕索（UTEP）的得克萨斯大学申请的规划补助金将集中精力在一个创新的计划称为BUILDING SCHOLARS（建设基础设施导致多样性：健康导向教育领导者和研究学者西南联盟）的发展。长期目标是设计一个计划，通过建立一个包括德克萨斯州、新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州在内的多机构联盟，从美国西南部代表性不足的群体中培养下一代生物医学科学家。具体目标如下：（1）巩固内部和跨机构网络，并与合作机构的领导人合作，制定一个高效的培训和指导本科生的计划;（2）在UTEP和合作机构进行生物医学和社会行为研究培训基础设施的正式能力/需求评估，以告知计划的设计;以及（3）为该计划的学生培训和指导方面制定战略活动。第一个目标将通过一系列电话会议、虚拟 合作会议和实地考察，并将最终在UTEP与来自所有联合体机构的领导人举行面对面的研讨会，以制定战略计划。第二个目标将通过对学生和教职员工的调查以及对主要和合作机构的项目主管的采访来实现。第三个目标将通过制定征聘和留用战略、导师培训计划、咨询委员会和评价模式来实现。这些活动是创新的，部分原因是跨学科强调西班牙裔健康;使用资产捆绑的方法来克服研究培训障碍;整合技术以联系合作伙伴并增强学生的连通性;以及开发整合学科和机构的课程（面对面，在线和混合）。这个规划应用程序是重要的，因为它需要一个区域的方法来设计一个多机构的生物医学研究培训和指导计划，将满足集中在美国西南部的代表性不足的群体的需求。
