Research in biomedical and bioengineering careers increasingly relies on rapidly evolving domain-specific data analysis skills and the expert management of information and knowledge. The need for such preparation is most acute among urban students who are multicultural, multilingual, and low-income; who persistently underachieve academically compared to their majority culture peers. This underachievement is a key factor in dissuading high school students from considering college education. Hence, there is an urgent need to prepare the future research workforce in biomedical informatics. One of the primary reasons for the Department of Biohealth Informatics (DBI) at the School of Informatics and Computing (SoIC), Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus to be hosting this R25 education program is the recently approved Biomedical Informatics (BMI) baccalaureate degree program, which is the only such program in Indiana and the third in the nation, to educate students in a rapidly growing field, to address the shortage of informatics-trained research workforce in biomedicine. Since we also have a highly successful accelerated BS+MS program that allows students to complete both a baccalaureate and master’s degrees in five years, the students will be encouraged to participate in this degree pathway that will prepare them for higher-paying job opportunities in the fields of bioinformatics and health informatics. Along with this, our campus represents the amalgamation of two of the leading research-focused universities in Indiana - Indiana and Purdue Universities, and hosts the largest medical school in the nation. Long-term industry collaborations with leading pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lilly and company, faculty joint appointments with leading research sites, like the Regenstrief Institute and an extensive existing network of interactions with numerous Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), make the SoIC/IUPUI an appropriate site to host this NLM R25 research education program - whose goals are to reduce gender and race disparities in the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce by targeting academically talented students who come from economically disadvantaged (ED) and/or underrepresented minority (URM) populations. The objective here is to provide hands-on research experience during summer in their junior, senior undergraduate and first-year graduate years and keep them motivated to pursue research careers while taking advantage of access to accelerated degrees available on campus. Since informatics in biomedicine impacts a wide variety of interdisciplinary fields, proposed summer research experiences will benefit undergraduate and graduate student population in a multitude of NLM-supported research careers.

生物医学和生物工程职业的研究越来越依赖于快速发展的 特定领域的数据分析技能以及信息和知识的专家管理。 对于具有多元文化背景的城市学生来说，这种准备的需求最为迫切， 多语言，低收入;与他们相比，他们的学业成绩一直不佳 多数文化的同龄人。这种成绩不佳是劝阻高中生的一个关键因素 考虑大学教育。因此，迫切需要为未来的研究做好准备 生物医学信息学的劳动力。生物卫生部的主要原因之一 印第安纳州普渡大学信息与计算学院（SoIC）的信息学（DBI） 印第安纳波利斯大学（IUPUI）校园将举办这个R25教育计划是最近 批准的生物医学信息学（BMI）学士学位课程，这是唯一这样的 计划在印第安纳州和第三次在全国，教育学生在一个快速增长的领域， 解决生物医学领域受过信息学培训的研究人员短缺的问题。因为我们也 有一个非常成功的加速BS+MS计划，让学生完成这两个 在五年内获得学士学位和硕士学位，将鼓励学生参加 在这个学位的途径，这将准备他们的高薪工作机会，在这些领域 生物信息学和健康信息学。沿着，我们的校园代表着 印第安纳州两所领先的研究型大学--印第安纳州和普渡大学， 拥有全国最大的医学院与领先的行业长期合作 制药公司，如礼来公司和公司，教师联合任命与领先的 研究网站，如Regenstrief研究所和广泛的现有互动网络， 许多少数民族服务机构（MSI），使SoIC/IUPUI成为一个合适的网站托管 这个NLM R25研究教育计划-其目标是减少性别和种族 生物医学、行为学和临床研究人员之间的差距， 来自经济弱势群体（艾德）和/或代表性不足的优秀学生 少数民族（URM）。这里的目标是提供实践研究经验 在夏季在他们的大三，大四本科和研究生一年级，并保持他们 积极追求研究事业，同时利用获得加速学位的优势 在校园里。由于生物医学中的信息学影响了各种各样的跨学科 领域，拟议的夏季研究经验将有利于本科生和研究生 人口在众多的NLM支持的研究事业。
