PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU) in partnership with the Los Angeles Community College District propose the Cultivating Interest in Research Careers (CIRC) Program. Lack of participation from communities underrepresented in medicine and science (UIMS) in the scientific research workforce is a critical issue affecting the future of research, and ultimately our nation’s health. Access to a high-quality science education required for a research career remains largely determined by socioeconomic class, race/ethnicity, gender and/or national origin. There is a critical need to motivate and equip lower-income UIMS community college students with the academic skill set to critically understand, explore and engage in scientific research, as well as the confidence and communication skill set required for advancement in scientific careers. Early interventions in the undergraduate education timeline are needed to build a diverse and inclusive scientific workforce. The Program’s main components include: 1) A Summer Research Experience, where students attend a one-week boot camp to familiarize themselves with research fundamentals and participate in hands-on research under the supervision of a research mentor with expertise in one of NHLBI’s research focus areas, and 2) A Pathway to Research Careers Continuum, where students attend workshops which will enhance their research and academic skills. Since California Community Colleges are the single largest system of higher education in the country, and with data showing that 80% of students enrolled in Los Angeles Community College district schools are from UIMS communities, the proposed CIRC Program will provide important opportunities for UIMS community college students to receive research training as well as skills necessary to transfer to four-year colleges/universities. The Program’s overarching goal is to increase the number of UIMS students prepared to pursue careers in the biomedical and clinical health sciences. To this end, the Specific Aims are as follows: Specific Aim 1: To engage 14 UIMS community college students each year in a mentored, summer scientific research experience in basic, clinical, or translational research related to CVD within the NHLBI mission. Specific Aim 2: To provide 14 UIMS community college students each year with a year-long faculty and “near- peer” advising program to continue building academic skills as well as provide support in transferring to a four year college/university to study math or science. Specific Aim 3: To evaluate the effectiveness of the CIRC program for UIMS community college students in promoting academic advancement, scientific productivity with presentations and/or manuscripts, completion of an undergraduate degree, and successful application to a graduate program in a science-related field.

项目摘要/摘要 加利福尼亚大学，洛杉矶大学（加州大学洛杉矶分校）和查尔斯·R·德鲁医学与科学大学 （CDU）与洛杉矶社区学院区合作，提出培养对 研究职业（CIRC）计划。缺乏人数不足的医学社区参与 科学研究劳动力中的科学（UIMS）是影响研究未来的关键问题， 最终我们国家的健康。获得研究职业所需的高质量科学教育 仍然在很大程度上取决于社会经济阶级，种族/种族，性别和/或国籍。有一个 激励和装备低收入UIMS社区大学生的批判性需要 批判性理解，探索和参与科学研究，以及信心和 在科学职业中提高所需的沟通技巧。早期干预本科 需要教育时间表来建立潜水员和包容性的科学劳动力。该程序的主要内容 组件包括：1）夏季研究经验，学生参加一个为期一周的新兵训练营 熟悉研究基础知识，并在监督下参加动手研究 在NHLBI的研究重点领域的研究心理方面的研究精神，以及2）研究途径 职业连续性，学生参加讲习班，以增强他们的研究和学术技能。 由于加州社区大学是该国最大的高等教育系统，并且 数据显示，洛杉矶社区学院学校入学的学生中有80％来自UIMS 社区，拟议的CIC计划将为UIMS社区学院提供重要的机会 学生接受研究培训以及转学到四年制大学/大学所需的技能。 该计划的总体目标是增加准备追随者的UIMS学生的数量 生物医学和临床健康科学。为此，具体目标如下： 特定目的1：每年与14个UIMS社区大学生互动 NHLBI任务中与CVD有关的基本，临床或翻译研究的研究经验。 特定目标2：每年为14个UIMS社区大学学生提供长达一年的教职员工和“接近 - 同行”咨询计划，旨在继续建立学术技能，并提供转移到四个的支持 年学院/大学学习数学或科学。 特定目的3：评估UIMS社区大学生CIRC计划的有效性 促进学术进步，通过演讲和/或手稿的科学生产，完成 本科学位，并在与科学有关的领域中成功应用研究生课程。
