Project Summary In this new application we propose a unique training experience that builds upon Vanderbilt University's (VU) extraordinary record of research, training, and fostering diversity in biomedical science and that seeks to create a new paradigm promoting the pathway to biomedical science careers and aspirational life choices for a cadre of underrepresented, postbaccalaureate scholars. This program provides an intellectually, socially and culturally rewarding experience to engage scholars at multiple levels throughout a 12 month training program. We will leverage VU's training expertise to cultivate knowledge and research skills and provide an integrated training program that supports resilience by fostering connections among program participants and their research mentors, peers, and respective communities. A strong multiple-PI leadership team is composed of senior individuals with overlapping expertise in scientific research, mentoring, inclusion, skill development, trainee engagement, and fostering a community of diverse scholars. This team is supported by internal and external board members with demonstrated commitment to training and diversity. We will provide a research intensive immersion for carefully-selected scholars each year. Our pool of distinguished mentors have a diversity of research interests that are aligned with the mission of NIGMS. In addition to an intense, mentored research experience, we will offer unique perspectives and resources, provide a productive framework to fully understand the promise and process of scientific discovery, and foster invaluable connections among scholars and their mentors and communities. We posit that scholars, most especially those from underrepresented groups, must also be trained in how to relate their work to the larger community. They must be aware and knowledgeable of the forces shaping the public's perception of science and how to shape the scientific narrative in both underrepresented and majority communities. Our overall goal is ambitious and innovative; we seek to create scholars that will become the integrators needed to connect science with communities through their academic credentials, ability to build and retain trust, and cultural competence skills. We will fulfill this vision through: an intensive research and training immersion experience, with mentoring as a central component; regular opportunities to interact with their peers and acquire the core values of collaboration, teamwork and personal enrichment; and exposure to the public awareness of science, education, policy and social change. Together, we will thus provide an exciting and comprehensive experience to minority scholars poised to make career-defining, life- changing decisions with future implications for the scientific enterprise across the nation.

项目摘要 在这一新应用中，我们提出了建立在Vanderbilt基础上的独特培训体验 弗吉尼亚大学在生物医学领域的研究、培训和培养多样性方面的非凡记录 科学，并寻求创造一种新的范式，促进生物医学科学的道路 一群未被充分代表、毕业后的学者的职业和理想的人生选择。 这一计划提供了一种智力、社会和文化方面的有益体验 在为期12个月的培训计划中，有多个级别的学者。我们将利用VU的培训 培养知识和研究技能的专业知识，并提供综合培训计划 这通过促进项目参与者和他们的研究之间的联系来支持弹性 导师、同行和各自的社区。组建了一支强大的多元PI领导团队 在科学研究、指导、包容、技能等方面拥有重叠专业知识的高级个人 发展，实习生参与，并培养不同学者的社区。这支队伍是 得到内部和外部董事会成员的支持，并表示致力于培训和 多样性。我们将为每一位精心挑选的学者提供密集的研究沉浸 年。我们的杰出导师队伍具有多样化的研究兴趣，这些兴趣与 NIGMS的使命。除了紧张、有指导的研究体验外，我们还将提供 独特的视角和资源，提供了一个富有成效的框架来充分理解 科学发现的前景和进程，并促进相互之间的宝贵联系 学者、他们的导师和社区。我们假设学者，尤其是那些 来自代表性不足的群体，还必须接受如何将他们的工作与更大的群体联系起来的培训 社区。他们必须意识到并了解塑造公众 对科学的认知以及如何塑造未被充分代表的和 占多数的社区。我们的总体目标是雄心勃勃和创新；我们寻求创造学者 这将成为将科学与社区联系起来所需的集成商 学历，建立和保持信任的能力，以及文化能力技能。我们 将通过以下方式实现这一愿景：密集的研究和培训沉浸体验， 作为核心组成部分的指导；定期与同龄人互动并获得 协作、团队合作和个人成长的核心价值观；以及与公众接触 对科学、教育、政策和社会变革的认识。因此，我们将共同提供一个 为少数族裔学者提供令人兴奋和全面的体验，准备让定义职业生涯的生活- 改变决策，对全国的科学事业产生未来的影响。
