Abstract: Developing a Digital Training and Assessment Platform to Disseminate a Successful NIH- Supported College Preparation Model for Diversifying the U.S. Biomedical Workforce This Phase 1 SBIR project will design and test a digital training and assessment platform—HSTA Hatch—to help geographic regions outside West Virginia (WV) establish workforce development programs for grade 9-12 youth from populations underrepresented in biomedical research and other healthcare and STEM fields. This work will be based on research and program delivery conducted over 27 years by the WV Health Sciences and Technology Academy (WV HSTA), an out-of-school-time science education model with proven success enhancing the diversity of WV’s biomedical workforce. It will be carried out by a small, woman-owned, economically disadvantaged business, Apis Creative (Grafton, WV). Apis has partnered with West Virginia University (WVU) and faculty from the University of Southern Mississippi, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Northern Illinois University, and Northwestern University to carry out this project. Specific aims are as follows: • Aim 1: Develop a digital platform for training research universities to found and operate HSTA-based college preparatory programs for high-school students from populations underrepresented in biomedical research, healthcare, and other STEM professions. • Aim 2: Develop a digital platform for assessing student outcomes in HSTA replication programs in comparison to outcomes of WV HSTA, which has shown to be successful. Resulting products will be independently evaluated by the WVU Survey Research Center and a panel of reviewers representing potential sites for full-scale replication and WV HSTA alumni, staff, and leadership. Team and Outlook The HSTA Hatch team has the necessary expertise in HSTA program replication and assessment, coaching and mentoring, training and materials development, and data collection and analysis to complete this project. Successful Phase 1 execution will set the stage for a Phase 2 project to field-test delivery of the HSTA Hatch platform through the initiation and foundation of full-scale HSTA replication programs at one or more partner sites. HSTA Hatch offers NIH and NIGMS the opportunity to develop a promising model for improving biomedical workforce recruitment and retention in underrepresented populations in non-WV settings and support wider adoption of the model to address the biomedical-engagement challenges faced nationally by such populations.

摘要：开发数字化培训和评估平台，传播成功的NIH- 支持美国生物医学劳动力多样化的大学准备模式 该第一阶段SBIR项目将设计和测试数字培训和评估平台-HSTA Hatch-To 帮助西弗吉尼亚州(西弗吉尼亚州)以外的地区建立9-12年级的劳动力发展计划 来自生物医学研究和其他医疗保健和STEM领域代表性不足的人群的青年。 这项工作将基于WV Health在27年内进行的研究和项目交付 科学技术学院(WV HSTA)，一种校外科学教育模式，经过验证 成功地增强了西弗吉尼亚大学生物医学员工队伍的多样性。它将由一个小的，女人拥有的， 经济困难企业，Apis Creative(西弗吉尼亚州格拉夫顿)。APIS已与西弗吉尼亚州合作 和来自南密西西比大学、密西西比大学医学院的教职员工 中心、北伊利诺伊大学和西北大学共同开展这一项目。 具体目标如下： ·目标1：为培训研究型大学建立和运营基于HSTA的学院开发一个数字平台 针对生物医学研究中代表性不足人群的高中生预科项目， 医疗保健和其他STEM专业。 ·目标2：开发一个数字平台，用于评估#年HSTA复制项目的学生成绩 与WV HSTA的结果进行比较，这已被证明是成功的。 最终产品将由西弗吉尼亚大学调查研究中心和一个小组进行独立评估 代表全面复制的潜在地点和WV HSTA校友、员工和领导力的审查员。 团队和展望HSTA孵化团队在HSTA计划复制和 评估、指导和指导、培训和材料开发，以及数据收集和分析 完成这个项目。第一阶段的成功执行将为第二阶段项目的现场测试奠定基础 通过启动和建立全面的HSTA复制，交付HSTA孵化平台 一个或多个合作伙伴站点的计划。 HSTA Hatch为NIH和NIGMS提供了开发一种有前途的模式来改进生物医学的机会 在非WV环境中招聘和留住人数不足的人群，并提供更广泛的支持 采用该模式来解决这类人群在全国范围内面临的生物医学参与挑战。
