项目摘要

Training a diverse neuroscience workforce to address health disparities is critical when considering the cost and burden on society of unequal care and treatment among racial and ethnic groups. Numerous reports link socioeconomic and ethnic disparities to the frequency, care, and severity of brain disorders and disabilities including stroke, neurodegenerative disease, epilepsy, addiction, traumatic brain injury, and psychological disorders. The Borough of Brooklyn has a population of over 2.6 million, one of the most diverse urban communities in the nation. Brooklyn College (BC) of City University of New York (CUNY), State University of New York Downstate Medical Center (Downstate), and Medgar Evers College (MEC) of CUNY are located within a few miles of each other in a part of Brooklyn that is overwhelmingly populated by under-represented groups: 50% of the population is comprised of Black residents primarily from West Indian and Afro-Caribbean backgrounds, and 12% is Hispanic, also of Caribbean origins. Our institutions will partner to develop a neuroscience-focused educational and research agenda ranging from basic neural processes to cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, including the introduction of Fellows to the socioeconomics of health disparities and public health issues related to neurological health and disease in minority communities. Our program, BP- ENDURE: Brooklyn Neural NETS (Neuroscience Education and Training for Scientists) or B-NETS, is intended to prepare well-qualified underrepresented (UR) juniors and seniors who are interested in careers in the neurosciences requiring PhD or MD/PhD degrees. Such individuals will both increase the diversity of researchers in neuroscience and contribute research findings that can help to address chronic neurological conditions that occur more frequently in minority and low-income populations, including the catchment area of the participating institutions where our students live and study. Working as a tightly knit consortium and exploiting prior successful cross-institution collaborations, B-NETS will have the experience, scientific expertise, assessed institutional need, and motivation to develop a highly effective BP-ENDURE program for upper division undergraduate students from UR backgrounds. The proposed B-NETS program will meet the goal of developing neuroscience research education programs by creating a full neuroscience major at BC and an expanded neuroscience curriculum at MEC. The senior administration of all three B-NETS partner institutions has prioritized STEM diversity programs and increasing faculty diversity and fully supports the B- NETS program. Many of our UR undergraduates, including some in programs like MARC and RISE, express the goal of becoming college faculty and serving as research mentors for UR undergraduates like themselves – a vital pipeline to increase the size of the pool of UR faculty. Innovative aspects of the B-NETS program include the blending of basic neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, community-engaged research and an outstanding depth in neuroscience research to develop a new cohort of diverse neuroscience researchers.

在考虑种族和种族之间不平等护理和治疗社会的成本和燃烧时，培训多样化的神经科学劳动力以解决健康分配至关重要。许多报告将社会经济和种族分布与脑部疾病和疾病的频率，护理和严重程度联系起来，包括中风，神经退行性疾病，癫痫，成瘾，脑损伤和心理疾病。布鲁克林自治市镇人口超过260万，是美国最多样化的城市社区之一。纽约市城市大学（CUNY），纽约州立大学下州医学中心（下州）的布鲁克林学院（CUNY）和CUNY的Medgar Evers College（MEC）位于布鲁克林的一部分中，在布鲁克林的一部分中，该地区的一部分是不足的居民，居民的50％居民及其居民的居民居住了50％的人群，是黑人居民的50％，是黑人居民的居民，是黑人和阿福德的居民。是西班牙裔，也是加勒比的起源。我们的机构将合作开发以神经科学为中心的教育和研究议程，从基本的神经普罗森特人到认知和行为神经科学，包括将研究员引入健康差异的社会经济以及与少数民族社区神经健康和疾病有关的社会经济经济学。我们的计划，BP-NERDER：Brooklyn神经网（科学家的神经科学教育和培训）或B-NET，旨在为有资格的缺乏代表性的（UR）的年轻人和老年人准备，他们对需要PhD或MD/PHD/PHD/PHD学位的神经科学感兴趣。这样的人都将增加神经科学研究人员的多样性，并为研究结果做出贡献，可以帮助解决慢性神经系统状况，这些慢性神经系统疾病在少数群体和低收入人群中更频繁地发生，包括我们学生生活和学习的参与机构的集水区域。 B-Nets是一个紧密编织的财团，并利用事先成功的跨机构合作，将具有经验，科学专业知识，评估机构需求，并为来自UR背景的上层学生提供了高效的BP-endure计划。拟议的B-NETS计划将通过在BC创建完整的神经科学专业并在MEC的Neuroscience课程扩展来满足开发神经科学研究教育计划的目标。所有三个B-NETS合作伙伴机构的高级政府都将STEM多样性计划优先考虑，并增加了教职员工的多样性，并完全支持B-NETS计划。我们的许多UR本科生，包括Marc和Rise等计划中的一些人，都表明了成为大学教师的目标，并担任UR本科生的研究导师，这是一项重要的管道，是增加UR教师规模的重要管道。 B-NETS计划的创新方面包括融合基本神经科学，行为神经科学，社区参与研究以及神经科学研究的杰出深度，以开发新的多元化神经科学研究人员。
