ABSTRACT This is an application for a Research Supplement to support the participation of Ms. Kathleen Depina, B.A., a very bright and enthusiastic scientist who also happens to be Black. Ms. Depina is a graduate of Boston University. She majored in Neuroscience and has deep interest in understanding neurological disorders from a genetic and physiological perspective. As a woman of color who grew up caring for her nephew with an undiagnosed neurological disorder, she is committed to studying medicine as her part in facilitating inclusion of the most vulnerable people. Her inquisitive, highly intelligent and disciplined nature will make her an excellent research scientist. Her goal is to obtain admission to an MD/PhD program. My laboratory will help her fulfill her potential by providing research experience, publications and ancillary skills to elevate her chances of being admitted to one of these highly competitive programs. My laboratory’s team and affiliated scientists across campus will help her learn as much as possible about the practice of neuroscience and genetics, and to conduct research, publish, practice scientific writing and speaking. Although she took many neuroscience and biochemistry undergraduate courses, her financial and family responsibilities limited her ability to carry out research as an undergraduate. The goals of this Supplement will be: • first, to afford Ms. Depina hands-on experience in several neuroscience and molecular genetics approaches and techniques. • second, to train her in the principles of experimental design, rigor in interpretation of one’s own and published findings, and critical analysis. These principles will be taught within the framework of mid-size projects that relate to ongoing research directions in the lab. This will give her multiple opportunities for authorship in both leading and contributing roles. • third, to broaden learning of neuroscience and genetics, Ms. Depina will be guided to an appropriate subset of research seminars on campus, 2-3 structured courses on campus, relevant online webinars, as well as 1-2 in-person workshops or conferences. • fourth, further improve her skills in scientific writing and in scientific oral presentations through on- campus poster sessions, and presentations at major conferences such as AChemS. Ms. Depina is an ideal candidate for this Supplement. She is African-American, a group under-represented in the US biomedical workforce. She is highly intelligent and teachable and has the formal education to be mentored to the next level. We anticipate that through this plan of action, we will see her successful entry into a competitive MD/PhD program in Fall 2025.

摘要 这是一份研究补充申请，以支持Kathleen Depina女士，B.A.，一 一个非常聪明和热情的科学家，碰巧也是黑人德皮纳女士毕业于波士顿大学 大学她主修神经科学，对从一个角度理解神经系统疾病有着浓厚的兴趣。 遗传学和生理学的观点。作为一个有色人种的女人， 未确诊的神经系统疾病，她致力于学习医学作为她的一部分，以促进纳入 最脆弱的人。她的好奇心，高度的智慧和纪律性将使她成为一个优秀的 研究科学家她的目标是获得MD/PhD课程的录取。我的实验室将帮助她实现她的愿望 通过提供研究经验，出版物和辅助技能，以提高她成为 被这些竞争激烈的项目录取我的实验室团队和附属科学家 校园将帮助她尽可能多地了解神经科学和遗传学的实践， 进行研究，发表，练习科学写作和演讲。尽管她学了很多神经科学， 生物化学本科课程，她的经济和家庭责任限制了她的能力， 研究作为一个本科生。本补编的目标是： ·首先，为Depina女士提供神经科学和分子遗传学方面的实践经验 方法和技术。 ·第二，训练她掌握实验设计的原则，严格解释自己的观点， 发表的研究结果和批判性分析。这些原则将在中型企业的框架内教授 与实验室正在进行的研究方向有关的项目。这将为她提供多种机会， 作者在领导和贡献的作用。 ·第三，为了拓宽神经科学和遗传学的学习，Depina女士将被引导到一个适当的 校园研究研讨会的子集，2-3个校园结构化课程，相关在线研讨会， 以及1-2个现场研讨会或会议。 ·第四，进一步提高她在科学写作和科学口头陈述方面的技能， 校园海报会议，并在主要会议，如AChemS的演讲。 女士Depina是这个补充的理想候选人。她是非洲裔美国人，这是一个代表性不足的群体。 美国生物医学劳动力。她很聪明，很好教，受过正规教育， 指导到下一个层次。我们预计，通过这一行动计划，我们将看到她成功地进入一个 竞争力的MD/PhD课程在2025年秋季。
