 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): US institutions of higher education have not been as successful as desired at attracting, enrolling, and graduating underrepresented minority (URM) or disadvantaged students who later pursue research and health professional careers. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) has a number of faculty who engage in research that fulfills the NHLBI mission, with >$1 million in research funding from NHLBI and $0.21 million in research funding from the American Heart Association. Thus, UAMS is well positioned to help address shortfalls in the diversity of researchers in cardiovascular, pulmonary, or hematologic areas by providing an active pool of potential research mentors for undergraduate students. The UAMS Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) to Increase Diversity in Research was developed in 2012 to increase the diversity of students entering these research fields. This proposal's overall goal is to provide students with mentoring, and networking opportunities; biomedical research experiences; real-life surgical observations; and simulated cardiovascular demonstrations to increase their interest in careers in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic research. During the first funding period approximately 95% of participants were expected to complete a bachelor's degree, with 75% continuing education in a graduate or health profession program. The program has been successful. In the first 4 years (2012-2015), 100% have completed or are still enrolled in a bachelor's degree program. Of those that have graduated, 68% continued their education in a graduate or health profession program or are still actively engaged in research. To build on this success, the program will implement the following aims. The first aim is to recruit a diverse group of undergraduate students who are academically talented and enthusiastic and foster their interest in pursuing careers in cardiovascular, pulmonary, or hematologic research Aim 2 is to support and cultivate rewarding and successful interactions and research experiences among students and faculty mentors. Student will be paired with research mentors at the beginning of the summer and will work with their mentors on producing a paper and presentations detailing their summer research experience. The third aim is to develop student leadership and communication skills with formal lectures by faculty from the Clinton School of Public Service and applying a talents assessment. Aim 4 is to provide educational and networking opportunities to stimulate student interest in research and health professional careers. Students will attend research seminars, be educated on the responsible conduct of research, interact with UAMS students, complete an individual development plan, attend a graduate school and GRE workshop, and be exposed to clinical activities. The final aim is rigorous evaluation of the program processes and outcomes. In all facets of research, investigators tend to choose research areas in which they have familiarity and past experience. Exposing students to basic, clinical, and/or translational research will provide a firm introduction and foundation to foster interest in and encourage pursuit of careers in research and academic medicine.

 描述（由申请人提供）：美国高等教育机构在吸引，招收和毕业代表性不足的少数民族（URM）或弱势学生谁后来追求研究和健康专业生涯方面并没有像预期的那样成功。阿肯色州医学科学大学（UAMS）有许多从事NHLBI使命研究的教师，NHLBI的研究资金超过100万美元，美国心脏协会的研究资金为21万美元。因此，UAMS是很好的定位，以帮助解决在心血管，肺，或血液领域的研究人员的多样性不足，通过提供潜在的研究导师为本科生的活跃池。UAMS暑期本科研究计划（SURP），以增加研究的多样性是在2012年开发的，以增加学生进入这些研究领域的多样性。该提案的总体目标是为学生提供指导和网络机会;生物医学研究经验;现实生活中的手术观察;以及模拟心血管演示，以提高他们对心血管、肺部和血液学研究职业的兴趣。在第一个资助期内，预计约95%的参与者将完成学士学位，75%的参与者将继续接受研究生或健康专业课程的教育。该方案取得了成功。在前4年（2012-2015），100%已经完成或仍在就读学士学位课程。在那些已经毕业的人中，68%的人继续在研究生或健康专业课程中接受教育，或者仍然积极从事研究。为了巩固这一成功，该方案将实现以下目标。第一个目标是招募一批多样化的本科生，他们在学术上有才华，热情，并培养他们在心血管，肺或血液学研究领域从事职业的兴趣。学生将在夏季开始时与研究导师配对，并与他们的导师一起制作论文和演示文稿，详细介绍他们的夏季研究经验。第三个目标是通过克林顿公共服务学院教师的正式讲座和人才评估，培养学生的领导能力和沟通技能。目标4是提供教育和网络机会，激发学生对研究和卫生专业职业的兴趣。学生将参加研究研讨会，接受负责任的研究行为教育，与UAMS学生互动，完成个人发展计划，参加研究生院和GRE研讨会，并接触临床活动。最终目标是严格评估方案进程和成果。在研究的各个方面，研究人员倾向于选择他们熟悉和过去经验的研究领域。让学生接触基础，临床和/或转化研究将提供一个坚实的介绍和基础，以培养兴趣，并鼓励追求研究和学术医学事业。(End摘要）
