Project Summary The Society of Toxicology’s Undergraduate Diversity Program will include about 30 undergraduate students from groups that are under-represented in the sciences and 5 faculty advisors who have strong potential to encourage students from these groups to pursue career paths in the biomedical sciences. The number of students from some demographic groups who are pursuing graduate school in the sciences is far from parity with their proportion among the US population, and the Society of Toxicology strongly supports efforts to increase the diversity of the scientific workforce. Selected from a national pool of applicants, these students and advisors will receive travel support and participate in a 3-day program March 11-13, 2017, in Baltimore, MD, in conjunction with the Society of Toxicology (SOT) Annual Meeting March 12-16. The aims of this program are to 1) increase awareness of undergraduate students majoring in science and science advisors at undergraduate institutions about career choices and opportunities in toxicology and 2) increase interest of undergraduate students in graduate biomedical education and motivate students to obtain research experience especially that pertinent to toxicology. Participants will hear specially selected lectures from toxicologists whose work exemplifies high profile and diverse research interests, participate in research poster sessions, and meet with academic program directors and internship sponsors. Participants are assigned to small groups composed of graduate student peer mentors and toxicologist host-mentors who provide informal interaction and mentoring during the presentations, scientific and poster session exploration, and other sessions. Potential career choices after the PhD are examined in roundtable discussions featuring toxicologists who share their experiences in different employment sectors (academia, government, and industry). The program is based on the experience from, and evaluation and refinement of, activities across the 27-year history of the SOT Undergraduate Program.

项目摘要 毒理学协会的本科多样性计划将包括大约30个本科生 来自科学和5位教师顾问的团体的学生 强大的潜力鼓励来自这些群体的学生追求生物医学的道路 科学。一些正在追求研究生的人群的学生人数 科学的学校与美国人口中的比例相去甚远， 毒理学协会强烈支持提高科学劳动力多样性的努力。 这些学生和顾问从国家申请人池中选出，将获得旅行支持 并与马里兰州巴尔的摩的3天计划一起参加 毒理学协会（SOT）年会3月12日至16日。该计划的目的是1） 提高对科学和科学顾问专业的本科生的认识 有关毒理学职业选择和机会的本科机构和2）增加 本科生对研究生生物医学教育的兴趣，并激励学生 获得研究经验，尤其是与毒理学有关的经验。颗粒会特别听到 毒理学家的精选讲座，他们的工作表现出很高的知名度和多样化的研究 兴趣，参加研究海报会议，并与学术计划董事会面 实习赞助商。参与者被分配给由研究生同龄人组成的小组 提供非正式互动和指导的导师和毒理学家主持人 演讲，科学和海报会议探索以及其他会议。潜在的职业选择 在圆桌会议上进行了博士学位后的博士学位，以分享他们的Te毒理学家的圆桌讨论 在不同的就业领域（学术界，政府和工业）的经验。该程序是 基于27年活动的活动的经验，评估和完善 SOT本科课程的历史。
