DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) persons constitute a linguistic and cultural minority group strikingly underrepresented among doctorally prepared biomedical and behavioral scientists in the U.S. The long-term goals of this project are to increase the number of D/HH students who go on to research careers in the behavioral and biomedical sciences. The objective of this project is to develop, implement, and evaluate a model program which integrates individual and institutional activities to improve D/HH students' preparation and skills as they advance academically toward completion of doctoral degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences. This constitutes a partnership between the foremost Deaf higher educational institution in the U.S., the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) (a college within the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)), a variety of Masters level programs throughout other colleges of RIT, and the University of Rochester (UR) and its National Center for Deaf Health Research (NCDHR). This pairs D/HH students in a broad offering of Master's programs throughout RIT with faculty, students, and doctoral programs of the University of Rochester Medical Center, a research-intensive academic health center offering PhD programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. This program has four specific aims. First, a program for Bridges Students who are D/HH will be developed at NTID to enrich the formal and informal curricula to include involvement of UR faculty from relevant doctoral programs. These include special seminar series and skill- building workshops (e.g. scientific writing, grant writing, responsible conduct of research, etc.), academic advisory, tutoring and mentoring, counseling services, graduate assistantships and a summer in-residence program. Second, the program will identify and recruit three students per year who are matriculating into Master's Degree programs at the NTID/RIT who are planning to continue on to Doctoral programs. The program will be advertised to Deaf students at NTID/RIT and nationally at other institutions with large enrollments of D/HH undergraduate students, in order to encourage them to apply for the NTID/RIT Master's programs. Third, a program to support Bridges students matriculating into UR Doctoral programs will be developed, including the use of peer and specialized mentoring services. Fourth, the program will be evaluated by assessment of core competencies acquired, by follow-up of Bridges and non-Bridges students at NTID/RIT to identify the number transferring to UR (or other institutions offering the Doctorate Degrees), and by tracking PhD completion and other career development outcomes in Bridges and non-Bridges students. At the completion of this period of funding, a model program will be in place so that NTID/RIT Master's students will increasingly decide to continue with and complete Doctoral degrees in the biomedical sciences, to begin to address the critical shortage of faculty in the biomedical and behavioral sciences who are deaf.

描述（由申请人提供）：聋哑人（D/HH）的人构成了一个语言和文化的少数民族群体，在美国制定的生物医学和行为科学家中，该项目的长期目标旨在增加该项目的长期目标，以增加在行为和生物态度的研究生涯的D/HH学生的数量。该项目的目的是开发，实施和评估一个模型计划，该计划将个人和机构活动整合起来，以改善D/HH学生的准备和技能，因为他们在学习生物医学和行为科学的博士学位方面都在学术上发展。这构成了美国最重要的聋哑教育机构，国家聋人技术研究所（NTID）之间的伙伴关系（a 罗切斯特理工学院（RIT）的学院，其他RIT学院的各种硕士课程，以及罗切斯特大学（UR）及其国家聋人健康研究中心（NCDHR）。这将D/HH的学生与Rochester Medical Center的教职员工，学生和博士学位课程进行了广泛的硕士课程，这是一个研究密集型学术健康中心，为生物医学和行为科学提供博士学位课程。该程序具有四个具体目标。首先，将在NTID上开发针对D/HH的Bridges学生的计划，以丰富正式和非正式课程，以包括相关博士学位课程的UR教师。其中包括特殊研讨会系列和技能建设研讨会（例如科学写作，赠款写作，负责任的研究等），学术咨询，辅导和指导，咨询服务，研究生助理职位和夏季居住计划。其次，该计划将确定并招募三名学生，他们正在计划继续攻读博士课程的NTID/RIT硕士学位课程。该计划将在NTID/RIT的聋哑学生和全国范围内的聋人学生进行宣传，并在其他机构中拥有大量的D/HH本科生，以鼓励他们申请NTID/RIT Master的计划。第三，将制定一项支持桥接学生的桥梁学生，包括使用同伴和专业的指导服务。第四，该计划将通过评估获得的核心竞争力，通过对NTID/RIT的非桥梁学生的跟进来评估，以确定转移到UR（或提供博士学位的其他机构）的数字，以及跟踪博士学位完成的PHD完成和其他职业发展和其他职业发展企业和非桥梁学生。在完成此期间的资金结束后，将制定模型计划，以便NTID/RIT大师的学生越来越决定继续并完成生物医学科学的博士学位，以开始解决聋哑的生物医学和行为科学教师的严重短缺。
