DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fisk University proposes to plan a novel accelerated Fisk undergraduate STEM (3 yr.) -Computer Science Master's (2yr) Bridge to a Vanderbilt PhD in Biomedical Informatics program in parallel with a real-time mentoring tracking system that adapts extant medical informatics tools to support reciprocal mentor-mentee interactions. Our BUILD Planning Grant addresses three key initiatives of the NIH: 1) Enhancing Diversity in the NIH-Funded Workforce, 2) nurturing individuals from diverse backgrounds across the lifespan of a research career, and 3) preparing an interdisciplinary workforce capable of fully exploiting the interrogation of Big Data for biomedical discovery. Our experience at Fisk, an historically black ( > 95 percent URM ) primarily undergraduate liberal arts college, affirms that programs linking 3 years of undergraduate education to accelerated entry into engineering or professional training programs attracts our most talented and highly motivated students. Findings that minorities disproportionately obtain Master's degrees en route to the PhD in natural sciences led to the 2005 launch of the Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD program, with > 92 percent of its entrants retained through PhD to postdoctoral or research positions. The BUILD planning grant will exploit the strengths of these programs and collaboration with the internationally recognized Vanderbilt Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) to: Aim 1: Craft a Fisk STEM undergraduate (3 yr.)-Masters in Computer Science (2yr) Bridge to a Vanderbilt PhD in Biomedical Informatics. Academic and mentoring plan; Aim 2: Develop a plan to adapt DBMI-created tools for individualized health care and linkages to national clinical trials for seamless tracking of academic progress and local/national mentoring interactions in behalf of our Fisk-Vanderbilt trainees from undergraduate admission through the PhD, postdoctoral experience and early academic career, and Aim 3: Develop, implement, and analyze, in collaboration with the Institute for Broadening Participation, assessments that determine pre- College and early undergraduate awareness of the impact of Big Data on biomedical discovery and health care outcomes, and interest in careers in careers in these areas.

描述（由申请人提供）：菲斯克大学建议计划一个新的加速菲斯克本科干（3年）。- 计算机科学硕士（2年）桥梁到范德比尔特博士在生物医学信息学程序并行与实时指导跟踪系统，适应现存的医疗信息学工具，以支持互惠导师学员互动。我们的BUILD规划补助金解决了NIH的三个关键举措：1）增强NIH资助的劳动力的多样性，2）在研究生涯的整个生命周期中培养来自不同背景的个人，以及3）准备一支能够充分利用大数据的审讯的跨学科劳动力进行生物医学发现。我们在菲斯克的经历，一个历史悠久的黑人（ > 95% URM）主要是本科文科学院，肯定了将3年本科教育与加速进入工程或专业培训课程联系起来的课程吸引了我们最有才华和积极性最高的学生。研究发现，少数民族不成比例地获得硕士学位的道路上博士在自然科学导致2005年推出的菲斯克-范德比尔特硕士到博士课程，与超过92%的进入者通过博士保留博士后或研究职位。BUILD规划补助金将利用这些计划的优势，并与国际公认的范德比尔特生物医学信息学系（DBMI）合作：目标1：打造一个菲斯克STEM本科生（3年）-计算机科学硕士（2年）桥梁范德比尔特博士在生物医学信息学。学术和指导计划;目标二：制定一项计划，以适应DBMI创建的工具，用于个性化医疗保健和与国家临床试验的联系，以无缝跟踪学术进展和地方/国家指导互动，代表我们的菲斯克-范德比尔特学员从本科入学到博士，博士后经验和早期学术生涯，以及目标3：与扩大参与研究所合作，评估确定大学前和早期本科生对大数据对生物医学发现和医疗保健结果的影响的认识，以及对这些领域的职业的兴趣。
