Project Summary/Abstract A diverse scientific workforce is essential to fostering scientific innovation and excellence and providing safe and quality learning and work environments. Despite extensive efforts and some noteworthy progress, certain groups' underrepresentation remains a concern for the health- related scientific workforce. Undergraduate research experiences, such as summer research programs, have been shown to increase learning skills, career ambitions, completion of a STEM degree, and advancement to a graduate program for undergraduate students, particularly those from underrepresented groups in science. In response to PAR-21-168 "Summer Research Education Experience Program (R25)", we propose the Syracuse University-Summer Training in Alcohol Research (SU-STAR) program. The SU-STAR program aims to (1) recruit an annual cohort of five to seven undergraduate students from underrepresented groups in science across the nation who demonstrate academic potential as well as strong interests in alcohol and health research and in advancing to a graduate school in related disciplines; (2) provide participants with the opportunity to participate in a rigorous eight-week research internship and enrichment activities, (3) conduct ongoing evaluations during the summer program and bi-annual follow-ups regarding the program's success in participant recruitment, retention, and educational and career outcomes; and (4) disseminate program information and materials to the undergraduate student body, academic units, and scientific community. Ultimately, this program will expand a pipeline of diverse individuals in health research, which will enhance the science workforce's inclusion and strengthen alcohol science by incorporating diverse perspectives and life experiences.
