The Wake Forest School of Medicine Short-Term Research Experience Program to Unlock Potential (WFSM STEP-UP) program will provide training to high school students under-represented (UR) in biomedical science to enhance the diversity of the behavioral and clinical research workforce involved in National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) mission-focused research. The program will take advantage of the broad, multidisciplinary research established in the areas of diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, and related comorbidities at the WFSM and partner institutions in the region. WFSM STEP-UP will utilize creative recruitment strategies to provide hands-on research exposure, state-of-the art research and professional skills training, career-development resources, and ongoing multi-level mentorship to reinforce participants’ intent to enroll in an undergraduate biomedical science degree program and prepare them for university admissions and careers in research. The program will dedicate efforts towards providing not only technical expertise, but also advice, insight, and career development skills. Training experiences and mentoring will be delivered during a 8-week summer experience and a nine-month follow-up that will include regular web-based mentoring meetings with participants, career-development webinars, and other professional skills. We will support 25 WFSM STEP-UP trainees annually, who will be placed with outstanding mentors at top-notch research intensive universities. The Program Directors (PDs) have vast academic and professional experiences, a long history of collaborations to increase diversity in biomedical sciences, and extensive expertise in training program administration. Program faculty include research mentors who are established scientists with high levels of productivity in terms of peer-reviewed publications and extramural support, offering a wide variety of research opportunities to WFSM STEP-UP trainees; and career mentors that will provide career and professional skills advisement. UR faculty are well-represented among WFSM STEP-UP program faculty, and many have participated in similar diversity-focused training programs. Program Goals: Two goals are designed to meet the objectives outlined in the NIDDK STEP-UP program announcement. Goal 1: To increase awareness of the unique challenges facing a diverse population living with diabetes, obesity, and kidney disease and of the opportunities for research that addresses these issues. Recruitment activities will provide a forum for reaching UR students with an interest in this research to apply for the WFSM STEP-UP program. Goal 2: To expand opportunities for paid research internships at participating satellite sites during the summer year where hands-on research exposure, state-of-the art training, career- development resources, and ongoing mentorship will be provided to increase the number of UR students involved in health disparities research related to diabetes, obesity, and kidney disease.

该维克森林医学院短期研究经验计划，以提高潜力（WFSM步）计划将提供培训，以高中学生代表不足（UR）在生物医学科学，以提高参与行为和临床研究劳动力的多样性糖尿病和消化和肾脏疾病的国家研究所（NIDDK）的任务为重点的研究。该计划将利用WFSM和该地区合作机构在糖尿病，肥胖，肾脏疾病和相关合并症领域建立的广泛的多学科研究。WFSM STEP-UP将利用创造性的招聘策略，提供实践研究曝光，最先进的研究和专业技能培训，职业发展资源，以及持续的多层次指导，以加强参与者参加本科生物医学科学学位课程的意图，并为大学入学和研究职业做好准备。该计划将致力于提供不仅是技术专业知识，但也建议，洞察力和职业发展技能的努力。培训经验和指导将在为期8周的夏季体验和9个月的后续活动中提供，其中包括与参与者定期举行的基于网络的指导会议，职业发展网络研讨会和其他专业技能。我们将每年支持25名WFSM STEP-UP学员，他们将在一流的研究密集型大学与优秀的导师一起学习。项目主任（PD）拥有丰富的学术和专业经验，长期合作以增加生物医学科学的多样性，以及在培训项目管理方面的广泛专业知识。计划教师包括研究导师谁是建立科学家与同行评审的出版物和校外支持方面的高水平的生产力，提供了各种各样的研究机会，WFSM的STEP-UP学员;和职业导师，将提供职业和专业技能培训。UR教师在WFSM STEP-UP计划教师中有很好的代表性，许多人参加了类似的以多样性为重点的培训计划。计划目标：两个目标旨在实现NIDDK STEP-UP计划公告中概述的目标。目标1：提高人们对糖尿病、肥胖和肾病患者所面临的独特挑战的认识，以及对解决这些问题的研究机会的认识。招聘活动将提供一个论坛，让对这项研究感兴趣的乌尔学生申请WFSM STEP-UP计划。目标2：为了扩大夏季在参与卫星站点的带薪研究实习机会，将提供实践研究曝光，最先进的培训，职业发展资源和持续的指导，以增加参与糖尿病，肥胖和肾脏疾病相关健康差异研究的UR学生人数。
