PROJECT SUMMARY The purpose of this proposal is to provide opportunities for undergraduate students from under- represented or disadvantaged backgrounds to engage in an intensive, summer research training experience. Individuals from diverse backgrounds are under-represented in biomedical and behavioral sciences. While the underpinnings of this issue are complex, the problem has been perpetuated in no small part due to major limitations in the “pipeline” of trainees from diverse backgrounds. As a reflection of our commitment to this issue, the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine has been running an NHLBI-funded program for students from under-represented or disadvantaged backgrounds for the past 15 years. We wish to build on this foundation, and sustain this initiative. Our program was developed on the premise that the principal barrier to diversity in science is not a lack of talent, but rather a lack of opportunity. The program was built around an intensive research experience with an individual mentor, complemented by activities important to building communication and networking skills, such as making presentations in journal club and at a closing poster session, as well as seminars that describe issues relevant to career-building in biomedical sciences. To date we have trained 212 students in our program. Of the 186 students that participated in our program and have now graduated from their undergraduate institution, 163 have been accepted to, enrolled in or received advanced degrees from medical/graduate school. In addition, 8 students are working full-time in research positions with plans to apply to graduate/medical school, bringing the number of past participants actively engaged in the biomedical sciences to 91%. In pursuing funding through this R25 program, we have three principal goals. The first is to provide a high quality scientific experience to students of diverse backgrounds as a means of exposing them to, and persuading them of, the excitement of careers in biomedical sciences. The second goal is to provide students exposure to activities that will enhance their chances for success in biomedical careers, such as organizing material for presentations and seminars on the mentee- mentor relationship. Finally, we hope to continue to develop a network of contacts and information that will help these individuals surmount historical issues of access that have limited entry and success. Over the past 15 years, we have demonstrated our commitment to enhancing diversity in the biomedical sciences, and we look forward to extending this commitment.

项目摘要 该提案的目的是为来自不足的本科生提供机会 代表或处于不利地位的背景来进行深入的夏季研究 培训经验。来自潜水员背景的个人在生物医学中的代表性不足 和行为科学。尽管这个问题的基础很复杂，但问题已经 由于学员的“管道”的重大限制，因此在很大程度上被延续了 潜水员背景。为了反映我们对这个问题的承诺，肺部 重症监护医学一直在为来自NHLBI资助的学生提供 在过去15年中，代表性不足或处于不利地位的背景。我们希望以 这个基础，并维持这项倡议。我们的计划是在以下前提下开发的 科学多样性的主要障碍不是缺乏才能，而是缺乏机会。 该计划是围绕着一个个人心理， 由对建立沟通和网络技能重要的活动完成的 在期刊俱乐部和关闭海报会议上进行演讲，以及 描述与生物医学科学中职业建设有关的问题。迄今为止，我们已经培训了212 我们计划的学生。在参加我们计划并现在有的186名学生中 从其本科机构毕业，已被接受，注册或 获得医学/研究生院的高级学位。此外，有8名学生正在工作 全职研究职位，并计划向研究生/医学院申请 过去的参与者的数量积极从事生物医学科学，达到91％。追求 通过此R25计划的资金，我们有三个主要目标。首先是提供高 为潜水员背景的学生提供的优质科学经验，以此作为揭露他们的一种手段 并说服他们在生物医学科学中的职业兴奋。第二个目标 是为学生接触活动，以增强他们成功的机会 生物医学职业，例如组织材料进行演示和有关Menee- Menor关系。最后，我们希望继续建立联系网络， 将帮助这些人克服访问的历史问题的信息 进入和成功。在过去的15年中，我们表明了我们对 增强生物医学科学的多样性，我们期待扩展这一点 承诺。
