DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Through the NIDDK Short-Term Education Program for Underrepresented Persons (STEP-UP), Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU) proposes to continue and further enhance, over the 5-year renewal period, its National High School Student Summer Research Apprentice Program. The main goal of this program is to increase the number of underrepresented minority and disadvantaged students "in the pipeline" who are committed to a career in biomedical, clinical, behavioral, or social science research in the NIDDK mission areas, including diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, nutrition, obesity, and diseases of the digestive, urologic, kidney, and hematologic systems. Utilizing effective recruitment, retention, and education and training strategies, CDU STEP-UP is contributing to the much-needed diversification of the biomedical and health care workforce by training research scientists who are culturally competent and responsive to the multiple and complex health-related needs of underserved minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. During the renewal period, the program will continue to provide an in-depth, mentored health sciences immersion experience each summer to 25 promising high school students from racial/ethnic groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research, and/or from disadvantaged backgrounds who would otherwise likely not have access to a career path in science. This education and training experience encompasses exposure to critical methodologies and principles of biomedical research in the NIDDK mission areas and in disease areas identified by Healthy People 2010 as disproportionately prevalent among underrepresented minority communities. The CDU program includes an introductory web-based training curriculum in the Responsible Conduct of Research, an informal mentor-led laboratory and research orientation, opportunities for attendance at various research forums, specialized student-specific research assignments and activities, and the annual NIH/NIDDK student research symposium where students present their research findings to their peers. The specific aims of the CDU National High School Student Summer Research Apprentice Program are to (1) provide a rewarding 10-week summer research experience to 25 high school students annually, which includes education in research principles, conduct, evaluation, and presentation; (2) provide intensive mentoring to each student by active research faculty; (3) fully participate in the national STEP-UP forum at NIH/NIDDK, where the program students make oral and/or poster presentations to peers and established researchers using the standard presentation format of national scientific meetings; and (4) evaluate the impact of this NIH/NIDDK-CDU program.

描述（由申请人提供）：通过 NIDDK 弱势群体短期教育计划 (STEP-UP)，查尔斯·R·德鲁医学与科学大学 (CDU) 建议在 5 年更新期内继续并进一步加强其全国高中生暑期研究学徒计划。该计划的主要目标是增加“正在准备中”的少数族裔和弱势学生的数量，这些学生致力于 NIDDK 任务领域的生物医学、临床、行为或社会科学研究，包括糖尿病、内分泌、新陈代谢、营养、肥胖以及消化、泌尿、肾脏和血液系统疾病。利用有效的招聘、保留以及教育和培训策略，CDU STEP-UP 通过培训具有文化能力并能够满足服务不足的少数族裔和社会经济弱势群体的多种复杂的健康相关需求的研究科学家，为生物医学和卫生保健劳动力急需的多元化做出贡献。在更新期间，该计划将继续每年夏天为 25 名有前途的高中生提供深入的、受指导的健康科学浸入式体验，这些高中生来自生物医学和行为研究领域代表性不足的种族/族裔群体，和/或来自弱势背景，否则他们可能无法进入科学职业道路。这种教育和培训经验包括接触 NIDDK 任务领域和《2010 年健康人民》确定的在代表性不足的少数族裔社区中异常普遍的疾病领域的生物医学研究的关键方法和原理。 CDU 计划包括负责任的研究行为方面的介绍性网络培训课程、非正式的导师主导的实验室和研究方向、参加各种研究论坛的机会、专门针对学生的研究任务和活动，以及年度 NIH/NIDDK 学生研究研讨会，学生可以在研讨会上向同行展示他们的研究成果。 CDU 全国高中生暑期研究学徒计划的具体目标是 (1) 每年为 25 名高中生提供为期 10 周的有益暑期研究体验，其中包括研究原理、实施、评估和演示方面的教育； (2) 由活跃的研究人员为每个学生提供集中指导； (3)充分 参加 NIH/NIDDK 的国家 STEP-UP 论坛，该项目的学生使用国家科学会议的标准演示格式向同行和知名研究人员进行口头和/或海报演示； (4) 评估该 NIH/NIDDK-CDU 计划的影响。
