This grant requested by The University at Texas at El Paso (UTEP) will focus efforts on the development of a transformative center of excellence called BUILDing SCHOLARS (Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity: Southwest Consortium of Health-Oriented education Leaders and Research Scholars). The goal is to implement a suite of programs and activities that will positively transform the training of the next generation of biomedical researchers from US Southwest underrepresented groups through a multi- institution consortium in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, as well as several key extra-regional sites. The center aims to: (1) Improve institutional capacities to accomplish proposed activities; (2) Develop an intra- and cross-institutional mentoring-driven community of practice; (3) Implement strategic activities for student recruitment, research training and mentoring; (4) Support the development of participating faculty and postdoctoral personnel; and (5) Establish a collaborative relationship with the Coordination and Evaluation Center for tracking and evaluation purposes. Once it is fully implemented, the center will support 135 undergraduate students on full scholarships every year. The activities are innovative in part because of the trans-disciplinary emphasis; the focus on early interventions; the use of an assets bundling approach to overcoming educational and research training barriers; integration of technology to link partners and enhance student connectivity; and the expansion of impacts through implementation of a research driven curriculum and a community of practice. All innovations will enable the proposed center to scale-up undergraduate research training and contribute directly to the diversification of the NIH-funded workforce. This proposal is significant because it takes a regional approach to designing a multi-institutional series of programs and activities that will meet the needs of underrepresented groups concentrated in the US Southwest on their path to becoming biomedical researchers. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The percentage of biomedical researchers from underrepresented groups who are awarded R01 grants is far below the corresponding percentage for majority groups. The proposed center of excellence will institute a progressively advanced set of programs to transform the biomedical research training of underserved populations in the US Southwest with the ultimate goal of improving their competitiveness for future ROI level support.

德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校（UTEP）申请的这笔赠款将集中精力开发一个 卓越的转型中心称为BUILDING SCHOLARS（建设基础设施， 多样性：西南健康教育领导者和研究学者联盟）。目标是 实施一系列计划和活动，积极转变下一个 来自美国西南部代表性不足群体的一代生物医学研究人员通过多个 在得克萨斯州、新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州以及几个重要的区域外地点建立了一个机构联盟。的 该中心的目标是：（1）提高机构能力，以完成拟议的活动;（2）发展一个内部的， 和跨机构的指导驱动的实践社区;（3）实施战略活动， 招聘，研究培训和指导;（4）支持参与教师的发展， 博士后人员;（5）与协调和评估建立合作关系 用于跟踪和评估目的的中心。一旦全面实施，该中心将支持135个 每年都有全额奖学金的本科生。这些活动之所以具有创新性，部分原因是 跨学科强调;注重早期干预;使用资产捆绑方法， 克服教育和研究培训障碍;整合技术以联系合作伙伴， 加强学生的联系;并通过实施研究驱动的影响扩大 课程和实践社区。所有创新将使拟议的中心能够扩大规模 本科研究培训，并直接有助于NIH资助的劳动力的多样化。 这一建议意义重大，因为它采取了一种区域办法来设计一个多机构系列， 满足集中在美国的代表性不足的群体的需求的计划和活动 西南在他们的道路上成为生物医学研究人员。 相关性（参见说明）： 来自代表性不足的群体的生物医学研究人员获得R 01赠款的比例远远低于 低于多数群体的相应百分比。拟建的卓越中心将建立一个 逐步先进的一套方案，以改变生物医学研究培训服务不足 美国西南部的人口，最终目标是提高他们的竞争力，以实现未来的投资回报率 水平支持。
