Project Summary/Abstract There are few women and underrepresented minorities (URM) entering into the fields of hematology and pediatrics as well as positions of leadership. It is critical that more underrepresented hematology researchers are trained to better understand, identify, and reduce health disparities in the field and study diseases that are relevant to underrepresented communities, such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia, to improve outcomes. We have developed an innovative, multidisciplinary training program in nonmalignant hematology with faculty mentors who have unique expertise and experience training students. The goal of this R25 application, “Increasing Diversity in Hematology: Training for Underrepresented students,” is to recruit underrepresented high school graduates and local community college students to Stanford University to 1) obtain an introduction to clinical aspects of nonmalignant hematology; 2) participate in didactic lectures and laboratory experience in hematology research, 3) be exposed to ethics in research; and 4) explore career development options. Given the declining number of underrepresented translational and basic researchers in hematology, a training program in hematology will be critical to fill the pipeline and ultimately increase the number of underrepresented leaders in hematology. In this application, we seek funding for 5 recent underrepresented high school graduates and 5 underrepresented community college students each year to spend 8-weeks during the summer with faculty who have expertise in mentoring underrepresented students. Students will have the opportunity to perform research in one of the 30 expert faculty mentors’ laboratories. Trainees will be selected from a pool of >200 eligible high school graduates from cities throughout the country and >1400 students from 26 local community colleges surrounding Stanford University. The funding will support the students’ salaries and living expenses. The students will participate in a curriculum consisting of lectures, workshops, and research seminars. Lectures will focus on introduction to hematology and various research techniques. Career development workshops for trainees include writing scientific abstracts, giving presentations, ethics, and preparing posters. Students will also receive “hands on” experience with appropriately matched mentors and their trainees, e.g. postdoctoral fellows, based on the students’ interests. There will be a poster symposium at the end of the program. The Program Directors and Internal Advisory Committee will evaluate the program annually. The External Advisory Committee will review the R25 program every year and meet with the Program Directors, Internal Advisory Committee members, and students. The R25 program will be evaluated by the student participants every year. We will utilize the strengths of Stanford University to recruit underrepresented students to the hematology, including the breadth and depth of investigators across many disciplines, to train future leaders in the hematology.

项目摘要/摘要 很少有妇女和少数族裔(URM)进入血液学领域 以及儿科和领导职位。至关重要的是，更多未被充分代表的血液学 研究人员接受了培训，以更好地理解、识别和减少现场和研究中的健康差距 与代表性不足的社区有关的疾病，如镰状细胞病和地中海贫血，以 改善结果。 我们已经开发了一个创新的、多学科的非恶性肿瘤培训计划 血液学教师导师具有独特的专业知识和培训学生的经验。这个 这个R25应用程序的目标是“增加血液学的多样性：培训代表不足的学生”，是 招收未被充分代表的高中毕业生和当地社区大学生进入斯坦福大学 1)了解非恶性血液学的临床方面；2)参加讲授讲座 和血液学研究的实验室经验，3)在研究中接触到伦理；4)探索职业生涯 发展选择。鉴于#年代表性不足的翻译和基础研究人员的数量不断减少 血液学，血液学的培训计划将是填补管道并最终增加 血液学领域代表性不足的领导者的数量。 在这份申请中，我们为5名未被充分代表的高中毕业生和5名应届毕业生寻求资助 代表人数不足的社区学院学生每年暑假与教员共度8周 他们在辅导代表性不足的学生方面有专长。学生们将有机会表演 在30个专家教师导师实验室中的一个进行研究。实习生将从200英镑的人才池中挑选出来 来自全国各城市的合格高中毕业生和来自26个当地社区的1400名学生 斯坦福大学周围的大学。这笔资金将用于支付学生的工资和生活费。 学生将参加由讲座、研讨会和研究研讨会组成的课程。 讲座的重点是血液学入门和各种研究技术。职业发展 学员的工作坊包括撰写科学摘要、发表演讲、伦理学和准备海报。 学生还将获得与适当匹配的导师和他们的受训人员一起的实践经验。 博士后研究员，基于学生的兴趣。在最后将有一个海报研讨会 程序。项目主管和内部咨询委员会将每年对该项目进行评估。这个 外部咨询委员会将每年审查R25计划，并与计划主任会面， 内部咨询委员会成员，以及学生。R25计划将由学生进行评估 每年都有参与者。我们将利用斯坦福大学的优势，招收代表性不足的学生 对学生进行血液学方面的研究，包括跨学科的广度和深度，进行培训 血液学的未来领导者。
