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.

Wake Forest医学学院的短期研究经验计划解锁潜力（WFSM升级）计划将为生物医学科学领域不足的高中生（UR）提供培训，以增强参与国家糖尿病研究所的行为和临床研究工作人员的多样性，以及糖尿病研究所，以及肾脏和肾脏疾病（NIDDK）的传教士研究。该计划将利用该地区WFSM和合作伙伴机构在糖尿病，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的升级将利用创造性的招聘策略来提供动手的研究曝光，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心态，以增强参与者的意图，以便参加本科生生物医学学位课程，并为他们的大学招生和研究做好准备。该计划将致力于提供不仅提供技术专长，还提供建议，洞察力和职业发展技能。培训经验和心理化将在为期8周的夏季经验和为期9个月的随访中提供，其中包括与参与者，职业发展网络研讨会和其他专业技能的定期基于网络的心理会议。我们将每年支持25名WFSM升级学员，他们将与一流研究密集大学的杰出导师一起任职。该计划主管（PDS）拥有丰富的学术和专业经验，悠久的合作历史，以增加生物医学科学的多样性以及培训计划管理方面的广泛专业知识。课程教师包括在同行评审的出版物和校外支持方面拥有高水平生产力的成熟科学家的研究导师，为WFSM加强学员提供了各种各样的研究机会；以及将提供职业和专业技能建议的职业导师。 UR教师在WFSM加速计划教师中的代表性很好，许多人参加了类似的以多样性为中心的培训计划。计划目标：两个目标旨在满足NIDDK升级计划公告中概述的目标。目标1：提高人们对患有糖尿病，肥胖症和肾脏疾病的潜水员人群面临的独特挑战的认识，以及解决这些问题的研究机会。招聘活动将为向UR学生提供一个对本研究感兴趣的论坛，以申请WFSM升级计划。目标2：在夏季，将提供动手研究，最先进的培训，职业发展资源和持续心态的付费研究实习机会，以增加参与与糖尿病，肥胖，肥胖和肾脏疾病有关的健康差异研究的学生人数。
