ABSTRACT Since establishing the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) in 1992, the University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC)’s long-term goal is to recruit and train students for successful biomedical research careers; cognizant of the critical need to increase opportunities for historically URMs and underserved populations. In its twenty-fifth year, 374 undergraduate students have participated in the UNTHSC Summer Multicultural Advanced Research Training Program, "SMART". Greater than 88% of Scholars are URMs and/or represent historically underserved populations. To date, 82% of Scholars earning a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree are either currently enrolled or have entered biomedical research or health professional career paths. The objective of this renewal (5 R25 HL007786-25) application is to ensure that SMART Scholars are motivated and competitive for entry into graduate programs in pursuit of biomedical science research careers. A diverse cohort of Scholars will engage in a 10-week intensive mentor-guided research training and career preparation experience aligned with the National Lung Heart and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) research mission and broadly with the NIH’s mission of diversifying the biomedical research workforce. The 4 distinct, but related Specific Aims are as follows: Aim 1: Recruit a diverse and talented pool of undergraduate students from across the U.S. from partner and non-partner undergraduate institutions to provide opportunities for summer training in biomedical research; Aim 2: Increase undergraduate students’ knowledge and skills to become competitive applicants to enter graduate research programs leading to biomedical research careers; Aim 3: Deliver effective mentee-mentor training to create culturally responsive practices that can be utilized throughout Scholar’s undergraduate and graduate training and a faculty’s professional career and Aim 4: To promote peer and mentor networking and tracking to support Scholar’s persistence and entry into biomedical research careers. The historical success of UNTHSC-SMART underscores the positive impact expected to create for future Scholars and consequently advance diversity in the biomedical research workforce.

抽象的 自 1992 年建立生物医学科学研究生院 (GSBS) 以来，北德克萨斯大学 健康科学中心 (UNTHSC) 的长期目标是招募和培训学生以实现成功的生物医学研究 研究生涯；认识到迫切需要增加历史上 URM 和服务不足的机会 人口。 UNTHSC 暑期项目已举办二十五年，已有 374 名本科生参加 多元文化高级研究培训计划，“SMART”。超过 88% 的学者是 URM 和/或代表历史上服务不足的人群。迄今为止，82% 的学者获得理学学士学位 （理学学士）学位目前正在就读或已进入生物医学研究或健康职业生涯 路径。本次续签 (5 R25 HL007786-25) 申请的目的是确保 SMART Scholars 有动力和有竞争力进入研究生课程以追求生物医学科学研究职业。一个 多元化的学者群体将接受为期 10 周的导师指导的密集研究培训和职业生涯 与国家肺心和血液研究所 (NHLBI) 研究任务相一致的准备经验，以及 总体而言，美国国立卫生研究院的使命是实现生物医学研究队伍的多元化。 4个不同但相关的 具体目标如下： 目标 1：从各地招募多元化、有才华的本科生 美国合作和非合作本科院校提供暑期培训机会 生物医学研究；目标2：提高本科生的知识和技能以提高竞争力 申请人进入研究生研究项目，从事生物医学研究职业；目标 3：提供有效的 导师-导师培训，以创建可在整个学者课程中使用的文化响应实践 本科生和研究生培训以及教师的职业生涯和目标 4：促进同行和导师的发展 网络和跟踪支持学者的坚持和进入生物医学研究生涯。这 UNTHSC-SMART 的历史性成功凸显了预期将为未来学者创造的积极影响 从而促进生物医学研究队伍的多样性。
