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 educational pathways 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 20 years, 15 of those as the current R25 program. 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 created 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 and workshops that address issues relevant to career-building in biomedical sciences. To date, through this R25 we have trained 194 students. Of the 167 students that participated in our program and have now graduated from their undergraduate institution, 148 have been accepted to, enrolled in or received advanced degrees from medical/graduate school. In addition, 16 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 98%. Of note, 111 students continued to publish after their R25 participation. Many of these students are physicians, evidence of continued engagement in research as they pursued medical training, creating an accomplished pool of physician scientists. 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, role models and information that will help these individuals surmount historical issues of access to improve entry and success. Over the past 15 years, we have demonstrated our commitment to enhancing diversity in the biomedical sciences and success in expanding the pool of underrepresented individuals pursing biomedical science careers. Through this renewal, we look forward to extending this commitment and further broadening our impact.

项目摘要 该提案的目的是为来自代表性不足或的本科生提供机会 处于弱势背景，以参与密集的夏季研究培训经验。来自 不同的背景在生物医学和行为科学中的代表性不足。而 这个问题很复杂，由于该问题的重大局限性在很大程度上存在 来自不同背景的学员的教育途径。为了反映我们对这个问题的承诺， 肺和重症监护医学部一直为学生开展NHLBI资助的计划 从过去20年中代表性不足或处于不利地位的背景中，其中15个作为当前R25 程序。我们希望以这个基础为基础并维持这项倡议。我们的程序是在 前提是科学多元化的主要障碍不是缺乏才能，而是缺乏机会。 该计划是围绕与个人导师进行密集的研究经验创建的，并得到了补充 通过对建立沟通和网络技能重要的活动，例如在期刊上进行演示 俱乐部和闭幕海报会议，以及研讨会和研讨会，以解决与之相关的问题 生物医学科学的职业生涯。迄今为止，通过此R25，我们已经培训了194名学生。 167 参加我们计划并已从本科机构毕业的学生，​​148 已被医学/研究生院接受，入学或获得高级学位。此外， 有16名学生正在全职工作，并计划申请研究生/医学院，带来 过去的参与者人数积极参与生物医学科学，达到98％。值得注意的是，有111名学生 R25参与后继续发布。这些学生中有许多是医生，持续的证据 从事医学培训时，参与研究，创造了一群很有成就的医师 科学家。在通过此R25计划获得资金时，我们有三个主要目标。首先是提供 为有不同背景的学生提供高质量的科学经验，以此作为使他们暴露给他们的手段 说服他们是生物医学科学中职业的兴奋。第二个目标是为学生提供 接触活动将增加其在生物医学职业中成功的机会，例如组织 介绍的材料和有关指导者关系的研讨会。最后，我们希望继续 建立联系，榜样和信息网络，以帮助这些人克服历史 访问可以改善进入和成功的问题。在过去的15年中，我们已经证明了我们的 致力于增强生物医学科学多样性的承诺，并成功地扩大了池 从事生物医学科学职业的人数不足的人。通过这种续约，我们期待 扩展这一承诺并进一步扩大我们的影响。
