ABSTRACT Health disparities in our nation are acute and a multi-faceted approach is needed to properly tackle this growing problem. Increasing the diversity of biomedical research scientists is one key strategy to address this crisis. With the current deluge of health-related data and a projected 34% growth in the job market for statisticians from 2014 to 2024 (Bureau of Labor Statistics), now is the time to diversify our biostatistics workforce. Herein, we plan to expand the pool of students from underrepresented groups in biostatistics by introducing a new curriculum for teaching methodologies in biostatistics, LA’s Biostatistics Education Summer Training Program at the University of Southern California (LA’s BEST @USC), with a focus on current research challenges in the study of heart and lung disease. The Division of Biostatistics in the Department of Preventive Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) is uniquely positioned to attract talented prospective biostatisticians from underrepresented groups into the field due to its success in graduate level training since 1976, location in the ethnically diverse LA Basin, multi-disciplinary research in diverse populations, and real-life oriented approach to biostatistical research. The faculty has expertise in epidemiological methods, spatial statistics and clinical trials, and has an NIH-funded P01 to develop novel statistical methods for integrative genomics. Training a diverse workforce of scientists requires a diverse faculty. A team of faculty from backgrounds including women, African, Latino, Japanese-American, and first in their family to attain a college education, who all share a tradition of individual hands-on research mentorship and extensive portfolios of research grant support in biostatistics, epidemiology, clinical trials, is amassed and available to trainees. With this team, we propose following specific aims: 1) To identify and recruit high-quality and highly-motivated college undergraduate students from underrepresented groups. 2) To provide the trainees with courses and hands-on training in biostatistics. 3) To provide mentoring and professional development training. 4) To track LA’s BEST trainees through completion of their undergraduate degree, post-graduate education, and to their first employment.

抽象的 我们国家的健康分配是急性的，需要采取多方面的方法来正确解决这一增长 问题。增加生物医学研究科学家的多样性是解决这一危机的一项关键策略。和 从2014年起，目前与健康相关的数据泛滥，预计统计学家的就业市场增长了34％ 到2024年（劳工统计局），现在是时候使我们的生物统计学劳动力多样化了。在这里，我们计划 通过引入新的课程，将学生库从代表性不足的群体中扩展 洛杉矶的生物统计学教育夏季培训计划的生物统计学教学方法 南加州（洛杉矶最好的@USC），重点是当前的研究挑战 和肺部病。 南方大学预防医学系生物统计学系 加利福尼亚州（USC）的独特位置，可以吸引人数不足的有才华的准生物统计学家 自1976年以来，由于其在研究生级培训中的成功，小组进入了该领域 盆地，潜水人群中的多学科研究以及以现实生活为导向生物统计学的方法 研究。该教师在流行病学方法，空间统计和临床试验方面具有专业知识，并具有 NIH资助的P01开发了用于综合基因组学的新型统计方法。培训潜水员的劳动力 科学家需要潜水员的教师。一支来自妇女，非洲，拉丁裔，包括女性，非洲，拉丁裔， 日裔美国人，首先要接受大学教育，他们都有一个个人的传统 动手研究精神和研究赠款支持生物统计学，流行病学的广泛投资组合， 临床试验，已积累并为学员使用。在这个团队中，我们提出以下特定目的：1） 识别和招募来自代表性不足的高质量和高度动机的大学本科生 组。 2）为学员提供生物统计学的课程和动手培训。 3）提供指导 和专业发展培训。 4）通过完成洛杉矶最好的学员 本科学位，研究生教育以及他们的第一个工作。
