PROJECT SUMMARY This application is for an R25 to fund “Training in Cardiovascular Sciences for Under Represented Students (CURS)” a Short-Term Research Education Program to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Research (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) through the RFA-HL-19-024 mechanism. CURS will be modeled after Columbia University's highly successful NINDS funded SPURS Program which has provided an intense undergraduate research experience focusing on neuroscience on the campus of Columbia's College of Physicians & Surgeons (P&S) for talented students from backgrounds that are under-represented in biomedical research for the past 17 years. CURS will use this highly successful model and to train underrepresented students in cardiovascular sciences. In the past SPURS participants have been accepted primarily from the City University of New York (CUNY) senior colleges, including Hunter, Brooklyn, Queens, and City Colleges, though in recent years we have extended our outreach and have accepted applications nationwide. Examples of recent institutions SPURS has drawn underrepresented students from include Columbia University, Barnard College, New York University, Harvard University, University of California, Berkeley, and Amherst College. CURS will provide extensive training in basic science research, and enhance the likelihood that the students will achieve a career in science by pursuing an advanced degree (M.D. and/or Ph.D.). To expand opportunities for under-represented minority undergraduate students to participate in high quality, focused and sustained research experiences in the cardiovascular sciences the PI, Dr. Andrew Marks, Department Chair of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics and founder of Columbia University's SPURS program is applying for resources to start a program that will provide training that will enhance the diversity of the pool of trainees in cardiovascular sciences using a proven model of success. The applicant pool for SPURS has grown to well over 100 each year consisting of highly qualified minority student participants. Students selected for support through NIH's R25 Summer Research Experience Programs solicitation (RFA-HL-19-024) will perform hands- on research for nine summer weeks under the mentorship of Columbia University cardiovascular faculty scientists (currently 97 Columbia University faculty receive NHLBI support). In addition to specific training in cardiovascular sciences, the students will receive in-depth training in research methodology including: (a) the design and analysis of experiments; (b) critical reading of scientific literature through journal clubs; (c) ethics in science; (d) the presentation of scientific results at laboratory meetings; (e) presentation of their research at poster sessions; (f) an oral presentation of their research to an audience of scientists; and (g) career counseling. Training will provide a uniquely enriching setting that includes weekly meetings with under- represented minority role models in biomedical research. The CURS program will address the critical need to increase the pipeline of highly qualified minority trainees in cardiovascular sciences.

项目概要 此申请适用于 R25，旨在资助“针对代表性不足的学生的心血管科学培训” (CURS)”一项旨在增加健康相关研究多样性的短期研究教育计划 (R25 不允许进行临床试验）通过 RFA-HL-19-024 机制。 CURS将以哥伦比亚为蓝本 大学非常成功的 NINDS 资助的 SPURS 项目提供了紧张的本科生课程 在哥伦比亚医学院校园专注于神经科学的研究经验& 外科医生 (P&S) 面向来自生物医学研究领域代表性不足的背景的优秀学生 过去17年。 CURS 将利用这一非常成功的模式来培训代表性不足的学生 心血管科学。过去，马刺队的参与者主要来自于该市 纽约大学 (CUNY) 高级学院，包括亨特学院、布鲁克林学院、皇后学院和城市学院， 尽管近年来我们扩大了服务范围并在全国范围内接受了申请。示例 SPURS 最近吸引了来自哥伦比亚大学、 巴纳德学院、纽约大学、哈佛大学、加州大学伯克利分校和阿默斯特分校 大学。 CURS 将提供基础科学研究方面的广泛培训，并提高 学生将通过攻读高级学位（医学博士和/或博士学位）来实现科学事业。扩大 为代表性不足的少数族裔本科生提供参与高质量、重点突出的项目的机会 以及心血管科学领域持续的研究经验 PI，Andrew Marks 博士，系 生理学和细胞生物物理学主席、哥伦比亚大学 SPURS 项目创始人正在申请 寻求资源启动一项计划，提供培训以增强受训人员的多样性 在心血管科学领域使用经过验证的成功模型。 SPURS 的申请者人数已经增长到很多 每年超过 100 名高素质的少数族裔学生参与者。选择支持的学生 通过 NIH 的 R25 夏季研究体验计划征集 (RFA-HL-19-024) 将进行实际操作- 在哥伦比亚大学心血管系教授的指导下进行为期九周的夏季研究 科学家（目前有 97 名哥伦比亚大学教员获得 NHLBI 支持）。除了具体的培训外 心血管科学方面，学生将接受研究方法的深入培训，包括：（a） 实验设计和分析； (b) 通过期刊俱乐部批判性阅读科学文献； (c) 道德 在科学领域； (d) 在实验室会议上介绍科学成果； (e) 介绍他们的研究 在海报会议上； (f) 向科学家听众口头介绍他们的研究； (g) 职业生涯 咨询。培训将提供一个独特的丰富环境，其中包括每周与底层人员举行会议 代表生物医学研究中的少数群体榜样。 CURS 计划将满足以下关键需求： 增加心血管科学领域高素质少数民族学员的输送渠道。
