BUILDing SCHOLARS (Research Enrichment Core)

这部分赠款应埃尔帕索得克萨斯大学和我们的合作伙伴的要求，将集中努力 关于支持建设学者中心的研究丰富核心。长期目标是 解决生物医学领域的多样性危机。具体目标如下：1)紧锣密鼓办暑期 面向合作院校的本科生和教职员工的研究计划；2)丰富学生的 广泛定义的生物医学的学术和专业技能；以及3)协调综合三级 针对学生与学生、教师与学生以及教师与教师之间的指导关系的指导计划。这个 第一个目标将通过为本科生和教师配对辅导暑期来实现 研究经验；为大学桥牌学生提供暑期研究经验；以及建立 针对教师的暑期访问研究员计划。第二个目标(只针对本科生) 将通过提供辅导/写作支助、研究/职业充实讲习班来实现； 以及研究和教学一体化计划。第三个目标将通过协调 为学生提供为期两个学期的同伴指导培训和实践计划；指导培训模块 指导本科生研究人员的教师导师；教师运营的专业发展研讨会；a 面向教师和博士后的超级导师计划，以及面向教师的在线辅导实践社区 还有博士后。这些活动具有创新性，因为它们将：1)汇聚各种不同的参与者 学术年龄和学科背景由专题研究重点构成的项目；2)导致 形成一个全区域的研究/指导“实践共同体”；以及3)解决机构、 社会和个人因素影响学生的成功使用“资产捆绑”的方法。此外， 活动意义重大，因为它们将改善和推进本科生的职业发展轨迹 来自代表性不足群体的学生和区域范围内的教职员工

This portion of the grant, requested by the Univeristy of Texas at El Paso and our partners, will focus efforts on supporting the Research Enrichment Core of the BUILDing SCHOLARS center. The long-term goal is to address the diversity crisis in biomedicine. The specific aims are as follows: 1) Operate an intensive Summer Research Program for undergraduate students and faculty across partner institutions; 2) Enrich students' academic and professional skills in biomedicine broadly defined; and 3) Coordinate an integrated three-tier mentoring program targeting student-student, faculty-student and faculty-faculty mentoring relationships. The first aim will be achieved through matching undergraduate students with faculty for mentored summer research experiences; providing summer research experiences for college bridge students; and establishing a visiting summer researcher program for faculty. The second aim (focused only on undergraduate students) will be achieved through the provision of tutoring/writing support; research/career enrichment workshops; and a research and teaching integration program. The third aim will be achieved through the coordination of a two-semester peer mentoring training and practice program for students; mentoring training modules for faculty mentors overseeing undergraduate researchers; faculty-run professional development workshops; a super-mentor program for faculty and post-docs, and an online community of mentoring practice for faculty and post-docs. The activities are innovative because they will: 1) bring together participants of various academic ages and disciplinary backgrounds in a program structured by topical research foci; 2) lead to the formation of a region-wide research/mentoring "community of practice"; and 3) address the institutional, social and individual factors influencing student success using an "asset bundles" approach. Moreover, the activities are significant because they will improve and advance the career trajectories of undergraduate students from underrepresented groups and faculty on a regional scale
