The Student Training Core (STC) intends to enhance the institutional capacity for student training and increase the pool of underrepresented minority (URM) students who enter and successfully complete graduate-level biomedical research training. The overall goal of the core is to the achieve the mission of the BUILD initiative by increasing diversity among biomedical and behavioral sciences researchers. The STC will prepare the URM students with bachelor's degrees to enter graduate-level training programs according to a novel approach titled "A Student-Centered Entrepreneurship Development (ASCEND) Training Model." The model is based on an innovative interdisciplinary entrepreneurial research training program designed to provide students with collaborative mentored research experiences, interdisciplinary coursework in the biomedical sciences, and opportunities to develop, conduct, present, and publish a team-based research investigation. The STC primarily focuses on student-driven research experiences, in conjunction with an Individual Development Plan (IDP) to prepare the trainees for participating in rigorous graduate research activities and productive biomedical research careers. Coursework, co-curricular activities and training modules will be developed/redesigned to support students in understanding ofthe biological, psychological, and social antecedents of health problems as well as research methods to understand the causes, prevention and treatment of these problems. More specifically, each year the STC will select a cohort of 20 highly talented and motivated students with interests in biomedical, social, and behavioral science, from among students participating in an annual Summer Research Institute. Each student will be paired with a qualified mentor to develop and implement an IDP designed to meet students' research training needs. The students will be given opportunites to participate in relevant training activities and research projects. The STC will be evaluated based on student retention, academic performance, admission to graduate programs, and the number of students who enter and remain in biomedical research careers.

学生培训核心(STC)旨在加强学生培训和培训的机构能力 增加进入并成功完成学业的代表不足的少数族裔(URM)学生的人数 研究生级别的生物医学研究培训。核心的总目标是实现党的使命 通过增加生物医学和行为科学研究人员的多样性来建立主动性。STC 将为拥有学士学位的城市管理学生进入研究生水平的培训计划做准备 一种名为“以学生为中心的创业发展(ASCEND)培训模式”的新方法。 该模式基于创新的跨学科创业研究培训计划，旨在 为学生提供协作指导的研究体验、跨学科的课程 生物医学科学，以及开发、实施、展示和发表基于团队的研究的机会 调查。STC主要关注学生主导的研究体验，与 个人发展计划(IDP)，为学员参与严谨的研究生研究做好准备 活动和富有成效的生物医学研究职业。课程作业、联合课程活动和培训 将开发/重新设计模块，以支持学生理解生物、心理、 以及健康问题的社会前因以及了解其原因的研究方法， 预防和处理这些问题。更具体地说，STC每年将选出20名 对生物医学、社会和行为科学感兴趣的有才华和积极性的学生，来自 在参加一年一度的夏季研究所的学生中。每名学生将配对一名 合格的导师，开发和实施旨在满足学生研究培训需求的IDP。这个 学生将有机会参加相关的培训活动和研究项目。这个 STC将根据学生保留率、学业成绩、研究生课程录取情况、 以及进入和留在生物医学研究职业生涯中的学生数量。
