Project Summary/ Abstract A diverse oral health care workforce of both clinicians and researchers has been repeatedly called for. The absence of such diversity and its relationship to oral health disparities has been recognized as a persistent problem. Further, “the NIH recognizes that achieving diversity in the biomedical research workforce is critical to the full realization of our national research goals and is the best interest of our country”. The long-term goal is a sustainable summer research education program, Research Education in Oral Health Sciences (REOHs), that stimulates trainees and provides mentorship support for students to pursue future training opportunities in oral health research. The overall objectives in this application are to (i) encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue further studies or careers in oral health research; and (ii) foster a better understanding of biomedical, behavioral and clinical research and its implications. The rationale for this proposed program is that early exposure increases interest and consideration of health science careers. The overall objectives will be pursued through three specific aims: 1) Develop, implement, and evaluate, and sustain a 9-week comprehensive summer program that provides hands-on exposure to research and supports participants’ scientific and career development; 2) Recruit, enroll and retain a cohort of 8-10 high school and undergraduate student participants, annually, that are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences and oral health professions; and 3) Evaluate the effectiveness of the REOHS program. The proposed program will emphasize translational science principles and education of social determinants of health. Ultimately, the proposed summer research education program, REOHS, has the potential to enhance the training of an oral health workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs.

项目总结/摘要 一个多样化的口腔卫生保健工作人员的临床医生和研究人员一直在不断呼吁。 缺乏这种多样性及其与口腔健康差异的关系已被认为是一种 持续的问题。此外，“NIH认识到，实现生物医学研究的多样性， 劳动力对于充分实现我们的国家研究目标至关重要，也是我们的最佳利益。 国”。长期目标是一个可持续的夏季研究教育计划，研究教育 在口腔健康科学（REOHs），激励学员，并为学生提供指导支持 寻求口腔健康研究的未来培训机会。本申请的总体目标是 （i）鼓励来自不同背景的个人在口语方面继续深造或从事口语职业; 健康研究;以及（ii）促进对生物医学、行为和临床研究的更好理解， 它的影响。这个计划的基本原理是，早期接触会增加兴趣， 考虑健康科学职业。总体目标将通过三个具体方面来实现 目标：1）开发，实施，评估和维持一个为期9周的综合夏季计划， 提供亲身接触研究的机会，并支持参与者的科学和职业发展; 2） 每年招募、登记和保留8-10名高中和本科学生参与者， 在生物医学科学和口腔卫生专业中代表性不足的人;和3）评估 REOHS计划的有效性。拟议的计划将强调翻译科学 健康的社会决定因素的原则和教育。最终，拟议中的夏季研究 教育计划，REOHS，有可能加强口腔卫生工作人员的培训，以满足 国家的生物医学、行为学和临床研究需求。
