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.

项目概要/摘要 很少有女性和代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 进入血液学领域 和儿科以及领导职位。至关重要的是，更多代表性不足的血液学 研究人员接受培训，可以更好地理解、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相关的疾病，例如镰状细胞病和地中海贫血， 改善结果。 我们开发了一个创新的、多学科的非恶性培训计划 血液学导师拥有独特的专业知识和培训学生的经验。这 此 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提供培训”是 招募代表性不足的高中毕业生和当地社区学院的学生进入斯坦福大学 1) 了解非恶性血液学的临床方面； 2）参加教学讲座 和血液学研究的实验室经验，3）在研究中遵守道德规范； 4）探索职业生涯 发展选择。鉴于代表性不足的转化和基础研究人员数量不断减少 血液学方面，血液学培训计划对于填补渠道并最终增加 血液学领域代表性不足的领导者数量。 在此申请中，我们为 5 名近期代表性不足的高中毕业生和 5 名 每年暑假期间，代表性不足的社区学院学生都会与教师一起度过 8 周的时间 他们在指导代表性不足的学生方面拥有专业知识。学生将有机会表演 在 30 位专家教师导师实验室之一进行研究。学员将从超过 200 名学员中选拔 来自全国各城市的合格高中毕业生以及来自 26 个当地社区的超过 1400 名学生 斯坦福大学周边的大学。这笔资金将用于支持学生的工资和生活费用。 学生将参加由讲座、讲习班和研究研讨会组成的课程。 讲座将重点介绍血液学和各种研究技术。职业发展 为学员举办的研讨会包括撰写科学摘要、进行演示、道德规范和准备海报。 学生还将获得与适当匹配的导师及其学员的“实践”经验，例如 博士后，根据学生的兴趣。展会结束后将举办海报研讨会 程序。项目总监和内部咨询委员会将每年对该项目进行评估。这 外部咨询委员会将每年审查 R25 计划并与项目主管会面， 内部顾问委员会成员和学生。 R25计划将由学生评估 每年都有参与者。我们将利用斯坦福大学的优势来招募代表性不足的人才 血液学的学生，包括跨多个学科的研究人员的广度和深度，以培训 血液学的未来领导者。
