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.

项目总结/摘要 进入血液学领域的妇女和少数民族人数很少 和儿科以及领导职位。重要的是，更多代表性不足的血液学 研究人员接受培训，以更好地理解，识别和减少该领域和研究中的健康差异 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， 改善成果。 我们已经开发了一个创新的，多学科的培训计划，在非恶性肿瘤， 血液学与教师导师谁拥有独特的专业知识和经验的培训学生。的 这个R25应用程序的目标，“增加血液学的多样性：为代表性不足的学生培训，”是 招收代表性不足的高中毕业生和当地社区大学的学生到斯坦福大学学习 1）获得非恶性血液学临床方面的介绍; 2）参加教学讲座 血液学研究的实验室经验，3）接触研究伦理学; 4）探索职业生涯 发展选择。鉴于在中国代表性不足的翻译和基础研究人员的数量不断下降， 血液学，血液学培训计划将是至关重要的，以填补管道，并最终增加 血液学领域代表性不足的领导者人数。 在这个应用程序中，我们寻求资助5最近代表性不足的高中毕业生和5 代表性不足的社区学院学生每年花8周的夏季与教师 他们在指导弱势学生方面有专业知识。学生将有机会表演 在30位专家导师的实验室之一进行研究。受训人员将从200名以上的人员中挑选 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多名学生 斯坦福大学周围的学院。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。 讲座将侧重于介绍血液学和各种研究技术。职业发展 为学员举办的讲习班包括撰写科学摘要、作演讲、道德操守和制作海报。 学生还将获得与适当匹配的导师及其学员的“动手”经验，例如： 博士后研究员，根据学生的兴趣。会议结束时将举行海报研讨会。 程序.项目主任和内部咨询委员会将每年对项目进行评估。的 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和学生。R25计划将由学生进行评估 每年参加。我们将利用斯坦福大学的优势， 学生对血液学，包括跨学科研究的广度和深度， 血液学的未来领袖
