Scientific Mentoring and Research Experiences (SMRE) Core – Abstract: Representation of minority groups in alcohol research and other academic careers is important, but there are significant disparities found in academia1. Evidence suggests these disparities can be improved by structured mentoring that cultivates interests, experiences, and skills of underrepresented minorities (URMs) in the sciences and fosters their retention in academia1. The NCCU alcohol research laboratories in the current proposal were developed through a previous funded partnership grant focused on developing independent alcohol investigators. A primary goal of the current RFA is to promote the participation of URM scientists, and this new Scientific Mentoring and Research Experiences Core (SMRE) directly addresses this goal. Importantly, this Core will also increase productivity for each research component by mentoring NCCU students and supporting their expertise in complex scientific methods. UNC ARC and NCCU collaborative partnerships have always involved undergraduate and graduate URM students, but this proposal expands existing alcohol research collaborative partnerships with the additional goal of increasing student matriculation into alcohol research programs. By providing tailored experiences and infrastructure that enables student research success, we strengthen each component and facilitate student interests into lifelong biomedical careers. This includes mentoring in complex scientific methods for alcohol research projects, mentoring from multiple UNC ARC alcohol PIs, as well as professional development skills. RCMIs are strong teaching institutions, with students comprising the bulk of the research workforce. Accordingly, in prior years of this partnership, we found that strengthening the alcohol research expertise of NCCU students not only enhanced the pipeline of URM researchers, but it also improved the quality and productivity of each research project. We now propose focused initiatives to strengthen the scientific expertise of students in each research project. This includes mentoring in academic scholarship, scientific communication, grantsmanship, scientific rigor, responsible conduct of research, and complex scientific methods tailored for each scientific component. Increasing research skills and career coaching for NCCU students will promote student interest and benefit research project productivity, increasing successful discoveries that will help develop projects’ independent funding as well as increasing academic and biomedical workforce diversity. To accomplish these goals, we propose to: (1) provide NCCU undergraduates with mentoring in complex scientific methods and career development to improve scientific skills and promote entrance of URMs into alcohol research, (2) provide NCCU graduate students within collaborating components focused mentoring and instruction in complex methods tailored to each research component, and (3) facilitate laboratory mentors with evidence-based training in mentorship of diverse populations. This Core will strengthen each component by providing resources to the scientific development of the students on each component.

科学指导和研究经验（SMRE）核心-摘要：少数群体的代表性 酒精研究和其他学术事业的群体是重要的，但在 蜜有证据表明，这些差距可以通过结构化的指导来改善， 兴趣，经验，和技能的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）在科学和促进他们的 保留在埃塞俄比亚1.目前提案中的NCCU酒精研究实验室是通过以下方式开发的： 以前的一项资助伙伴关系赠款侧重于培养独立的酒精调查员。的主要目标 目前的RFA是为了促进URM科学家的参与，这种新的科学指导和研究 体验核心（SMRE）直接解决了这一目标。重要的是，该核心还将提高生产力， 通过指导NCCU学生并支持他们在复杂科学领域的专业知识， 方法. UNARC和NCCU的合作伙伴关系一直涉及本科生和研究生 URM的学生，但这项建议扩大了现有的酒精研究合作伙伴关系， 目标是增加学生进入酒精研究项目的入学率。通过提供量身定制的体验， 基础设施，使学生的研究成功，我们加强每个组成部分，并促进学生 将兴趣转化为终身生物医学事业。这包括指导复杂的酒精科学方法 研究项目，来自多个酒精PI的指导，以及专业发展技能。 RCMIs是强大的教学机构，学生构成了研究人员的大部分。 因此，在这一伙伴关系的前几年，我们发现，加强酒精研究的专门知识， NCCU的学生不仅加强了URM研究人员的管道，而且还提高了质量， 每个研究项目的生产力。我们现在提出有针对性的举措来加强科学专业知识 每个研究项目的学生。这包括在学术奖学金，科学交流， 严谨，科学严谨，负责任的研究行为，以及为每个人量身定制的复杂科学方法 科学成分。增加NCCU学生的研究技能和职业指导将促进学生 兴趣和效益研究项目的生产力，增加成功的发现，这将有助于发展 项目的独立资金以及增加学术和生物医学劳动力的多样性。完成 针对这些目标，我们提出：（1）为政大本科生提供复杂科学方法的指导， 职业发展，以提高科学技能，促进URM进入酒精研究，（2）提供 NCCU研究生在合作组件集中在复杂的指导和教学 为每个研究组成部分量身定制的方法，以及（3）通过循证培训促进实验室导师 in mentorship指导of different不同population人群.这一核心将通过向联合国系统提供资源， 科学发展学生的各个组成部分。
