The purpose of this proposal is to is to establish a mentored, research-intensive summer program for undergraduate under-represented minority students with the goal of increasing their interest, application and matriculation into biomedical science doctoral program at UConn Health or other US institutions and, an eventual research career in the biological sciences, through deliberate co-curricular activities that include research engagement in basic or translational NHLBI based research projects; participation in special workshops, seminars, and courses; careful academic and career mentoring; and incorporation into the campus scientific community through interaction with committed faculty with proven track records of mentoring and other successful science students. The application seeks funding to support 8 undergraduate students/ year for summer research in biomedical research such who will participate in the10 week increasing Research Experiences for Multicultural Students (iREM) program at UConn Health. The objectives are (1) to aid in the recruitment of underrepresented students and students with disabilities who are currently rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors enrolled in STEM program at an accredited university into our summer program in order to establish a pipeline for these students into ours as well as other graduate schools. Through these actions we should increase the diversity of our biomedical workforce, both in the state of CT and beyond, (2) to teach our trainees about the rigor of which biomedical sciences is performed through an intensive mentored research experience in an established basic science or translational laboratory and improve their research-related skills and confidence in those skills, especially in areas of interest to the NHLBI, (3) to provide our trainees with career guidance, intra-program and post-program mentoring and unique Coaching system that allows them to make informed decisions on their future professions, (4) to provide an inclusive environment where trainees develop a sense of belonging in the biomedical science profession. Applicants will be recruited nationwide through personal contacts with undergraduate program directors, promotion of the program at minority science student research or career conferences, emails to science program directors, website and on-line advertisements. Students will be selected based on their interest in research, intellectual competence, and teacher assessment of cognitive and personal skill. The directors of the program will encourage the iREM Admissions Committee to take a holistic approach to the selection process, and train faculty on the impact that implicit bias has on applicant. The program will be evaluated by the trainees and faculty research mentors. The constituent relationship management tool Slate will be used for follow-up activities including regular email contact with trainees to provide advice and networking opportunities, a twice-yearly alumni newsletter, a periodically- updated alumni directory, campus visits and informal telephone calls. Slate will also allow us to track the applicants and their career paths.

这项建议的目的是建立一个有指导的、研究密集的暑期计划， 本科代表不足的少数族裔学生，目标是增加他们的兴趣，应用和 进入康涅狄格州大学健康学院或其他美国机构的生物医学博士项目，并最终获得 在生物科学方面的研究生涯，通过包括研究在内的刻意的共同课程活动 参与基础研究项目或基于NHLBI的翻译研究项目；参加特别研讨会， 研讨会和课程；认真的学术和职业指导；融入校园科学 通过与具有可靠的指导和其他方面记录的敬业教师进行互动，实现社区 成功的理科学生。该申请寻求资助8名本科生/年 暑期研究生物医学研究等谁将参加10周递增研究 康涅狄格州大学健康多元文化学生(Irem)项目的经验。目标是：(1)协助 招收代表不足的学生和目前正在升入大学二年级的残疾学生， 三年级或大四学生在经认可的大学注册参加STEM计划，以便参加我们的暑期计划 建立一个渠道，让这些学生进入我们以及其他研究生院。通过这些行动，我们 应该增加我们生物医学工作人员的多样性，无论是在CT状态下还是在其他情况下，(2)教授我们的 受训人员通过密集的指导研究了解生物医学科学的严谨性 在现有的基础科学或翻译实验室工作经验，并提高与研究相关的技能 以及对这些技能的信心，特别是在NHLBI感兴趣的领域， (3)为我们的学员提供职业指导、项目内和项目后指导和独特的 教练制度，使他们能够对自己未来的职业做出明智的决定，(4)提供 在包容的环境中，受训人员培养对生物医学科学专业的归属感。 申请者将通过与本科生项目主任的个人联系在全国范围内招募， 在少数族裔理科学生研究或职业会议上推广该计划，向科学计划发送电子邮件 导演、网站和在线广告。学生将根据他们对研究的兴趣进行选择， 智力能力，以及教师对认知和个人技能的评估。该项目的负责人 将鼓励IREM招生委员会对遴选过程采取全面的方法，并培训教师 关于隐性偏见对申请者的影响。该计划将由学员和教职员工进行评估 研究导师。组成关系管理工具Slate将用于后续活动 包括定期与学员进行电子邮件联系，提供建议和网络机会，一年两次的校友 时事通讯、定期更新的校友名录、校园访问和非正式电话。斯莱特也会 允许我们跟踪申请者及其职业道路。
