EXITO: Enhancing Cross-disciplinary Infrastructure and Training at Oregon

在构建计划的第一阶段，我们成功地开发并交付了为期三年的多组件 面向传统代表性不足的本科生的研究培训计划 有志于生物医学科学事业的背景。我们的培训模式，增强交叉- 俄勒冈州纪律基础设施和培训(Exito)是11个人之间的合作 四个州(俄勒冈州、华盛顿州、AK州、HI州)和三个太平洋岛国的合作机构 (美属萨摩亚、关岛、北马里亚纳群岛)。在第二阶段，Exito 2.0，我们建议 加强Exito的成功，保持我们与11个原始成员中的9个的合作 机构，以实现建立联盟所概述的成功标志。我们的特定 目标遵循四个原则：可持续性、增强、评估和传播。 我们将1)在主要和合作伙伴机构中维持Exito的基本组成部分 NIH资助期，将其嵌入并与现有的和新的机构相结合 结构、程序和服务。我们将维持并改进我们的培训计划 通过设立本科生研究室，创新学费福利方案 对于低收入学生，多层次的指导，进一步制度化我们的新课程， 并将暑期研究经验制度化。我们现在牢固的伙伴关系与我们的 研究密集型合作伙伴OHSU已经并将继续对我们的成功起到关键作用 模特。2)加强既定的Exito研究培训和教师发展干预 通过根据评价数据和吸取的经验教训不断改进和调整。 我们将保持和维持我们非常成功的试点项目计划，并与我们的 波特兰州立大学的主要机构管理，以招聘、聘用和保持多样化 能够指导和培养来自代表性不足背景的学生的教师。3)评估 Exito计划的所有方面，为增强、可持续性和传播努力提供信息。 最后，我们将在我们庞大多样的合作伙伴网络中推广Exito模式，以 支持在非建设机构传播和复制有效战略。我们会 向其他机构提供材料、培训和技术支持，以促进实施 Exito模式或组件，并调查相关的体制因素和资源 具有实施的保真度和有效性，以实现成功复制。通过评估， 加强并使我们的成功研究途径对学生、对教师、 对于波特兰州立大学和我们的合作机构，Exito 2.0将帮助解决 在如何建立和留住多样化的生物医学劳动力方面存在证据差距。

In phase I of the BUILD initiative, we successfully developed and delivered a three-year multicomponent research training program for undergraduates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds aspiring to careers in biomedical science. Our training model, Enhancing Cross- Disciplinary Infrastructure and Training at Oregon (EXITO), was a collaboration among eleven partner institutions across four states (OR, WA, AK, HI) and three Pacific Island territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands). In phase II, EXITO 2.0, we propose to enhance EXITO’s successes, maintaining our collaboration with the nine of the eleven original institutions to achieve the Hallmarks of Success outlined by the BUILD Consortium. Our specific aims are guided by four principles: Sustainability, Enhancement, Evaluation, and Dissemination. We will 1)Sustain essential components of EXITO at primary and partner institutions beyond the NIH funding period, by embedding and aligning them with ongoing and new institutional structures, programs, and services. We will maintain and improve upon our training program through creation of an Office of Undergraduate Research, an innovative tuition benefit package for low-income students, multi-tiered mentoring, further institutionalizing our novel curriculum, and institutionalizing summer research experiences. Our now-robust partnership with our research-intensive partner, OHSU, has been and will be critical to sustaining our successful model. 2) Enhance established EXITO research training and faculty development interventions through continued refinement and adaptation based on evaluation data and lessons learned. We will maintain and sustain our highly successful pilot project program and work with our primary institution administration at Portland State University, to recruit, hire, and retain diverse faculty who can mentor and nurture students from underrepresented backgrounds. 3) Evaluate all aspects of EXITO program to inform enhancement, sustainability, and dissemination efforts. Last, we will 4) Disseminate the EXITO model across our large and diverse partner network to support dissemination and replication of effective strategies at non-BUILD institutions. We will provide materials, training, and technical support to other institutions to facilitate implementation of EXITO model or components and investigate institutional factors and resources associated with implementation fidelity and effectiveness to enable successful replication. By evaluating, enhancing, and making sustainable our successful research pathway for students, for faculty, for Portland State University and our partner institutions, EXITO 2.0 will help address a critical evidence gap in how to build and retain a diverse biomedical workforce.
