Successful student research training requires integrated recruitment and research opportunities, courses designed to optimize both learning and research training outcomes for students, and programs that provide a path to biomedical research careers. The Student Training Core of the BLaST program will enhance the research training environment by enhancing research infrastructure and increasing opportunities for biomedical education and research at the Fairbanks and rural campuses. The core has 4 specific aims: Specific Aim 1: Develop and implement mentored research experiences at the rural partner institutions. These workshops and mentored experiences will serve as a first exposure for many rural students to opportunities in biomedical research within their communities and cultures. Thus, we will integrate the biomedical research enterprise with rural communities and cultures in Alaska. Specific Aim 2: Develop and implement summer biomedical research experiences for rural students. We will develop 2-, 6- or 12-wk summer research modules; an assortment of research experiences at varying levels will accommodate a step-wise integration of students into the biomedical research enterprise. Specific Aim 3: Establish the active, connected, and experiential (ACE) learning initiative. This initiative will integrate high impact learning approaches at UAF. Students will participate actively in introductory course work, synthesize learning during Connections courses, and experience biomedical research. The result will be improved outcomes for all students including those from underrepresented backgrounds. Specific Aim 4: Establish a Post-Associate Program in Biomedical Science. We will focus recruiting on rural students, not previously targeted for biomedical careers, and provide modularized options for program entry and exit, as well as courses focused on basic science and One Health. UA institutions are uniquely positioned to increase diversity in biomedical research training by increasing success of rural Alaskan students. We met with rural faculty and rural student support organizations to identify barriers to success for these students and to develop integrated approaches to reduce barriers.

成功的学生研究培训需要综合招聘和研究机会，课程 旨在优化学生的学习和研究培训成果，以及提供 通往生物医学研究职业的道路。BLaST计划的学生培训核心将增强 通过加强研究基础设施和增加研究培训机会， 生物医学教育和研究在费尔班克斯和农村校园。核心有四个具体目标： 具体目标1：在农村伙伴机构发展和实施有指导的研究经验。 这些讲习班和指导经验将成为许多农村学生的第一次接触， 在他们的社区和文化中进行生物医学研究的机会。因此，我们将整合 生物医学研究企业与农村社区和文化在阿拉斯加。 具体目标2：为农村学生开发和实施暑期生物医学研究经验。我们将 开发2-，6-或12周的夏季研究模块;在不同层次的研究经验的分类 将容纳学生逐步融入生物医学研究企业。 具体目标3：建立主动、连接和体验式（ACE）学习计划。这一举措将 在UAF整合高影响力的学习方法。学生将积极参与入门课程 工作，在Connections课程中综合学习，并体验生物医学研究。结果将 改善所有学生的成果，包括那些来自代表性不足的背景。 具体目标4：在生物医学科学建立一个后副学士课程。我们将重点招聘农村 学生，以前没有针对生物医学职业生涯，并提供模块化的方案进入选项 和退出，以及课程侧重于基础科学和一个健康。普遍获得服务机构具有独特的 通过提高阿拉斯加农村地区的成功率， 学生我们会见了农村教师和农村学生支持组织，以确定成功的障碍， 这些学生，并制定综合办法，以减少障碍。
