项目摘要

Abstract The mission of the proposed program is to develop a lasting, robust institutional training program for highly talented underrepresented minority (URM) students to pursue careers in biomedical research. Our program builds on the existing partnership between Malcolm X College (MXC), a community college in Chicago IL, and University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), the largest, public, Research I University in the region. The program is built upon the idea that a training program, if it is to be successful in serving associated students, must also change the students’ undergraduate experience, the faculty, and the institutions involved. Hence, we have three specific aims: (1) recruiting and supporting trainees, (2) engaging in faculty development to enhance inclusion, and (3) institutional transformation at multiple levels. Weaving through these three aims is a consistent focus on how the students and their communities are impacted by health disparities, with particular attention paid to cancer research, but also incorporating methodology and themes applicable to a variety of STEM-related fields. Activities associated with Aim 1 include completion of introductory science courses at MXC, engagement with admission transfer advisors before and after transfer to UIC, participation in UIC workshops on research methods, ethics, and culture of science, participation in summer research experiences with UIC mentors, and presentation of results at local and national conferences. Activities associated with Aim 2 include focus on cancer research in introductory courses and structured research experiences for students, and participation in annual mentoring workshops and expanding initiatives that address cancer disparities in a laboratory setting. Finally, activities associated with Aim 3 include development of research career advising at MXC, advising about the B2B training program and biomedical research opportunities, and monitoring progress of our program. We hypothesize that a program focused on questions of health disparities and the voices of the trainees and their communities, can support trainees in their development as biomedical researchers, change how instructors and mentors approach the teaching and training in science, and develop robust activities at the institutional level that can make research, health care, and education more inclusive.

摘要拟议方案的使命是制定一个持久的、强有力的机构培训方案，有才华的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生追求生物医学研究的职业生涯。我们的节目建立在马尔科姆X学院（MXC），在芝加哥IL社区学院，和伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）是该地区最大的公立研究型大学。该计划是建立在这样一个想法，即一个培训计划，如果要成功地为相关的学生服务，还必须改变学生的本科经历、教师和相关机构。因此，我们有三个具体目标：（1）招聘和支持学员，（2）从事教师发展，以提高包容性;（3）多层次的制度转型。贯穿这三个目标的是持续关注学生及其社区如何受到健康差距的影响，特别是关注癌症研究，但也纳入适用于各种癌症研究的方法和主题。 STEM相关领域与目标1有关的活动包括在下列地点完成入门科学课程： MXC，在转学到UIC之前和之后与入学转学顾问的合作，参加UIC 关于研究方法、伦理和科学文化的讲习班，参加夏季研究活动在地方和国家会议上介绍成果。与Aim相关的活动 2包括在入门课程中关注癌症研究，并为学生提供结构化的研究经验，并参加年度辅导讲习班和扩大倡议，以解决癌症的差距，实验室设置。最后，与目标3相关的活动包括： MXC，就B2B培训计划和生物医学研究机会提供咨询，并监督我们计划的进展。我们假设，一个专注于健康差异问题的项目，学员及其社区的声音，可以支持学员在他们的发展，研究人员，改变教师和导师如何对待科学的教学和培训，并发展在机构层面开展强有力的活动，使研究、卫生保健和教育更具包容性。
