ABSTRACT In 2019, Hispanic/Latinx individuals were awarded 8.6% of the 187,568 doctoral degrees awarded in the US despite accounting for 18.5% of the US population, while African American graduates were awarded 9.2% of doctoral degrees despite accounting for 12.5% of the population. One reason for this disparity may be that doctoral training including training of substance use researchers tends to take place at large Research 1 (R1; Carnegie very high research activity designation) institutions, yet the majority of underrepresented minority (URM) students who attend college in the US are not doing so at an R1 institution. For example, 67% of Hispanic/Latinx college students attend Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) with only 10 of the 646 HSIs in the US designated as R1 institutions. Students who attend HSIs, because they have had less access to research opportunity and have fewer people in their peer networks who seek graduate training, may not have had the chance to envision a post-baccalaureate life that involves graduate training. As a result, a significant prospective pool of exceptional students do not make their way to doctoral training programs thereby greatly delimiting diversity among, for example, substance use researchers. To bridge the divide between HSIs and research-intensive environments we propose to recruit URM undergraduates from HSIs in their sophomore year to participate in a two year program at New York University (NYU) with the goal of strengthening research capacity and supporting application to an R1 graduate school. Recruitment sites include Mercy College and five HSIs located across NYC that participate in the City University of New York (CUNY) Macaulay Honors College. NYU faculty and mentors include over 20 NIDA-funded investigators from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds. Among DDIS scholars, we aim to build skills in foundational and implementation science research methods and knowledge of substance use research through coursework and seminars (Aim 1). DDIS scholars will complete in-person Research Methods Weekend Workshops at NYU (monthly; academic Year 1); online modules in substance use research (~monthly; academic Year 1); in-person/teleconferenced seminars at NYU for ongoing skills training (weekly) and Mercy College for career development (biweekly) over the course of the two year program. We also aim to build capacity in conducting research, completing scientific deliverables, and applying to graduate school through a sustained, intensive mentored research experience (Aim 2). During the junior year DDIS scholars will be matched with a NIDA-funded research mentor at NYU and will become integrated into the lab. In the summer between the junior and senior year, DDIS scholars will work onsite at NYU and participate in an intensive mentored research experience. Through the senior year, mentors will support student presentations, publications, and application to graduate training. Providing rigorous and sustained training to support completion of scientific deliverables will increase competitive entry into a doctoral program at an R1 institution among URM scholars, thereby paving their path to independence.

摘要 2019年，西班牙裔/拉丁裔人获得了美国187，568个博士学位的8.6% 尽管占美国人口的18.5%，而非洲裔美国毕业生获得了9.2%的 博士学位，尽管占人口的12.5%。造成这种差异的一个原因可能是， 博士培训，包括药物使用研究人员的培训，往往在大范围内进行研究1（R1; 卡内基非常高的研究活动指定）机构，但大多数代表性不足的少数 (URM)在美国上大学的学生不是在R1机构上大学。例如，67% 西班牙裔/拉丁裔大学生参加西班牙裔服务机构（HSI），在646个HSI中只有10个。 美国被指定为R1机构。参加HSIs的学生，因为他们获得的研究较少 机会，在他们的同龄人网络中寻求研究生培训的人更少，可能没有机会 有机会设想一个学士后的生活，包括研究生培训。因此，一个重要的 优秀学生的未来池不使他们的方式博士培训计划，从而大大 例如，物质使用研究人员之间的多样性。为了弥合HSI之间的鸿沟， 研究密集型的环境，我们建议招募URM本科生从HSIs在他们的大二 我在纽约大学（NYU）参加了一个为期两年的项目，目的是加强研究 能力和支持申请到R1研究生院。招聘网站包括慈悲学院和 位于纽约市的五个参加纽约（CUNY）麦考利荣誉的HSIs 学院纽约大学的教师和导师包括来自不同种族/民族的20多名NIDA资助的研究人员 背景在DDIS学者中，我们的目标是建立基础和实施科学的技能 通过课程和研讨会（目标1）研究方法和物质使用研究的知识。的ddi 学者将在纽约大学完成面对面的研究方法周末研讨会（每月;学年1）; 药物使用研究在线模块（~每月;学年1）;面对面/电话会议研讨会 在纽约大学进行持续的技能培训（每周一次）和慈善学院的职业发展（双周一次）， 两年计划的过程。我们还旨在建设开展研究的能力，完成科学研究， 可交付成果，并通过持续的，密集的指导研究经验申请研究生院 (Aim 2）。在大三期间，DDIS学者将与纽约大学的NIDA资助的研究导师相匹配 并将融入实验室。在大三和大四之间的夏天，DDIS学者将 在纽约大学现场工作，并参加密集的指导研究经验。整个高三， 导师将支持学生的演讲，出版物，并申请研究生培训。提供 支持完成科学成果的严格和持续的培训将提高竞争力 进入博士课程在R1机构之间的URM学者，从而铺平了他们的独立之路。
