Project Summary Historically in the U.S., students from underrepresented backgrounds earn a disproportionately smaller percentage of doctoral degrees in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences, compared to students from majority backgrounds. The low numbers of racial and ethnic minorities in biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences graduate educational programs and, in turn, the workforce has profound implications for science. Because “minorities” will become the majority of the U.S. population by 2050, a more diverse doctoral prepared workforce is even more critical; thus, it is imperative to develop innovative programs to recruit students from underrepresented backgrounds to pre-doctoral academic programs. Long-term, the proposed “Improving Access to Research and Training” (IMPACT) program is an interdisciplinary collaboration aimed at increasing the diversity of the research workforce that addresses cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disordered conditions by: (1) Providing a mentored research experience to undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds, matched to the scholar’s area of interest, with the goal of providing early exposure to research programs with a cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disorder focus; and (2) Transitioning the IMPACT scholars into graduate school programs to enhance the diversity of the doctoral prepared workforce in biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences. The IMPACT program will be an annual 8-week research intensive summer program in the Penn State College of Nursing (CON) and College of Health and Human Development (CHHD). The IMPACT program is designed to inspire cohorts of 10 undergraduate students (5 undergraduate and 5 health professional) from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, as well as students from inhibited educational backgrounds, to pursue a career as a research scientist. In addition to immersion into a funded program of faculty-mentored research, the scholars will attend seminars, complete assignments, and acquire professional development skills necessary to complete a competitive pre-doctoral application. The long-term objective of the program is to increase the number of future PhD level scientists from underrepresented backgrounds who pursue a successful research career, therefore increasing the diversity of the research workforce addressing cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disordered conditions. Our expectation is that the greater diversity of the workforce will impact both policy and practice and, in turn, potentially reduce health disparities in those conditions through education and research.

项目摘要 从历史上看，在美国，来自代表性不足背景的学生挣的钱少得不成比例 生物医学、行为、临床和社会科学博士学位的百分比 来自多数族裔背景的学生。在生物医学、行为、 临床和社会科学研究生教育计划，反过来，劳动力拥有深刻的 对科学的影响。因为到2050年，“少数族裔”将成为美国人口的多数， 多样化的博士生队伍更是至关重要；因此，开发创新项目势在必行 招收来自代表性不足背景的学生参加博士前学术项目。从长远来看， 提议的“改善获得研究和培训的机会”(IMPACT)计划是一项跨学科合作 旨在增加研究人员的多样性，研究对象包括心血管、肺、 血液病或睡眠障碍：(1)提供有指导的研究经验 来自传统上代表性不足的背景的本科生，与学者所在的领域相匹配 兴趣，目标是提供早期接触研究项目的心血管，肺， 血液学，或睡眠障碍；和(2)将Impact学者过渡到研究生院 加强生物医学、行为、临床和医学领域博士生队伍多样性的计划 社会科学。Impact计划将是每年8周的暑期强化研究计划 宾夕法尼亚州立护理学院(CON)和健康与人类发展学院(CHHD)。其影响 该计划旨在激励10名本科生(5名本科生和5名健康学生 专业人士)，来自代表性不足的种族和族裔群体，以及来自受限制教育的学生 背景，追求研究科学家的职业生涯。除了沉浸在一个资助的项目中 教师指导的研究，学者将参加研讨会，完成作业，并获得专业知识 完成有竞争力的博士前申请所需的发展技能。该计划的长远目标 该计划旨在增加来自代表性不足背景的未来博士水平科学家的数量 追求成功的研究事业，从而增加研究人员的多样性 心血管疾病、肺部疾病、血液疾病或睡眠障碍。我们的预期是，越大 劳动力的多样性将对政策和实践产生影响，进而可能减少健康差距。 在这样的条件下，通过教育和研究。
