Project Summary The R25 proposal “Summer Program for the Advancement of Research Relevant to NIDDK” (SPARK) aims to provide an intensive, high-quality, educational, and mentored-research summer experience to build and enhance the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social science research workforce in NIDDK mission areas. We will partner with 4 existing summer training programs for students from diverse backgrounds; 1) The Advanced Summer Program For Investigation and Research Education/Clinical Research Enrichment Scholarship and Training (ASPIRE-CREST), 2) The Pediatric Student Research Program (PSRP), 3) The WashU ENDURE neuroscience pipeline program and 4) the Programs to Increase Diversity among Individuals Engaged in Health-Related Research (PRIDE). SPARK will provide training in NIDDK-related research by leveraging the robust intellectual, physical, administrative, and educational infrastructure resources available at WashU to recruit, train, mentor and engage undergraduate and health professional students from WashU and partnering institutions around the country that come from groups under-represented in medicine (URiM) and help them gain entry into graduate programs. The key strengths of the SPARK program include: 1) the strong mentor pool, 2) our structured training program in nutrition, obesity, diabetes and related disorders (NODR), 3) our existing, research training infrastructure, 4) institutional commitment, 5) track record of leadership in administration of educational programs of the Program Directors, and 6) the range of research experiences offered by our Program and Mentoring Faculty, many of whom are NIDDK grantees. We propose to perform the following aims: Aim 1) Establish a scholarship and stipend-supported summer program for undergraduate credit that provides rigorous didactic coursework and hands-on participation in mentored research by established Washington University School of Medicine faculty, Aim 2) Recruit, train, mentor, and engage a diverse URiM undergraduate student group in NODR research; Aim 3) Implement a comprehensive mentoring research program to provide comprehensive, culturally-sensitive mentoring for each SPARK scholar and Aim 4) Perform robust tracking and evaluation of the SPARK program, trainees, and mentors to better understand the role of our program in relation to persistence and completion in STEM. These objectives will encourage and facilitate undergraduate students from URiM groups to stay engaged in scientific research and support their entry into graduate programs performing research related to NIDDK.

项目摘要 R25提案“促进NIDDK相关研究的夏季计划”（SPARK）旨在 提供一个密集的，高质量的，教育和指导研究的夏季经验，以建立和 提高NIDDK生物医学，行为，临床和社会科学研究队伍的多样性 使命区。我们将与4个现有的暑期培训项目合作，为来自不同背景的学生提供培训; 1)调查和研究教育/临床研究丰富的高级暑期课程 奖学金和培训（ASPIRE-CREST），2）儿科学生研究计划（PSRP），3） WashU Endure神经科学管道计划和4）增加个体多样性的计划 健康相关研究（PRIDE）。SPARK将通过以下方式提供NIDDK相关研究的培训： 利用强大的智力，物理，行政和教育基础设施资源， 华盛顿大学招聘，培训，指导和从事本科生和卫生专业的学生从华盛顿大学和 全国各地的合作机构来自医学代表不足的群体（URiM）， 他们可以进入研究生课程。SPARK计划的主要优势包括：1）强大的导师 游泳池，2）我们在营养，肥胖，糖尿病和相关疾病（NODR）的结构化培训计划，3）我们的 现有的研究和培训基础设施，4）机构承诺，5）在以下方面的领导记录： 项目主任的教育项目的管理，以及6）研究经验的范围 由我们的计划和指导教师提供，其中许多人是NIDDK的受助人。我们建议执行 以下目标：目标1）建立一个奖学金和助学金支持的本科学分暑期课程 提供严格的教学课程和实践参与指导研究，由建立 华盛顿大学医学院教师，目标2）招募，培训，指导和参与多元化的URiM NODR研究的本科生群体;目标3）实施全面的指导研究 该计划为每位SPARK学者提供全面的、对文化敏感的指导， 对SPARK计划、学员和导师进行强有力的跟踪和评估，以更好地了解 我们的计划与坚持和完成STEM有关。这些目标将鼓励和促进 URiM团体的本科生继续从事科学研究，并支持他们进入 研究生课程进行与NIDDK相关的研究。
