Project Summary/Abstract In biomedical research, the need for a diverse pool of researchers in statistics and data science has never been greater. Yet, the requisite academic pipeline for training such a workforce remains inadequate. Minority students admitted to statistics or biostatistics graduate programs are confronted with lack of diversity at the faculty level, and, frequently, lack of awareness by faculty of ways to best support them. Explanations for the lack of faculty diversity in science are multifactorial, but two key drivers are the lack of inclusion frequently felt by racial and ethnic minority students, and the pipeline problem reflected by the low number of doctoral graduates from these historically marginalized groups. The driving objective of SeattleStatSummer (SeattleStatSummer for Biomedical Data Science Research Training) is to simultaneously tackle these obstacles. To address the pipeline problem, we will develop and implement a new summer mentored research program for undergraduates who identify as underrepresented minorities. The program will offer: (1) an engaging and supportive mentored research experience that increases their awareness of and interest in pursuing careers in statistics and data science research and (2) career development, community building, and social/emotional support activities. Our goal is that students will not only gain skills and confidence in statistics and data science, but they will feel a sense of belonging and rightful place in the statistics and research communities. The program will also provide coaching to faculty mentors to optimize their chances of success and confidence in mentoring students and will engage faculty in activities that build community. The specific objectives of SeattleStatSummer are: (1) Educate: through intensive training in R programming and statistics via an introductory didactic program followed by ongoing reinforcement and support; (2) Engage: via carefully crafted mentored statistics projects; (3) Enable: through career development workshops and a role-model program; (4) Endure: foster ongoing connection and support students in pursuing research careers in the field via activities to build community and sense of belonging and career support post program. In addition, we propose to offer a program for faculty mentors that will improve mentoring skills, build confidence in supervising students from historically marginalized groups, and increase awareness of the importance of fostering a sense of belonging and rightful presence for these students. The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center offers a world-renowned research environment and scientific faculty, prioritizes training the next generation of biomedical researchers, and is strongly committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Puget Sound area is home to a large immigrant community and a diverse set of minority cultures, which will be targeted for recruitment via a well-honed diversity recruitment plan bolstered by longstanding community partnerships.

项目总结/摘要 在生物医学研究中，对统计学和数据科学研究人员的多样化需求从未 更伟大。然而，培训这类劳动力所需的学术渠道仍然不足。少数 被统计学或生物统计学研究生课程录取的学生面临着缺乏多样性的问题， 教师的水平，而且，往往是教师缺乏认识的方式，以最好的支持他们。 对科学教师缺乏多样性的解释是多因素的，但两个关键的驱动因素是缺乏 种族和少数民族学生经常感受到的包容性，以及低入学率所反映的管道问题， 来自这些历史上被边缘化群体的博士毕业生人数。的驱动目标 SeattleStatSummer（SeattleStatSummer for Biomedical Data Science Research Training）将同时 克服这些障碍。为了解决管道问题，我们将制定和实施新的夏季 为那些被认为是代表性不足的少数民族的本科生提供指导的研究计划。该计划将 提供：（1）一个参与和支持性的指导研究经验，提高他们的认识， 对从事统计和数据科学研究的兴趣;（2）职业发展，社区 建设和社会/情感支持活动。我们的目标是，学生不仅获得技能， 对统计和数据科学的信心，但他们会感到归属感和在 统计和研究界。该计划还将提供辅导教师导师，以优化 他们的成功机会和指导学生的信心，并将从事教师的活动，建立 社区 SeattleStatSummer的具体目标是：（1）教育：通过R编程的强化培训 通过介绍性教学计划和统计数据，随后进行持续的强化和支持;（2）参与： 通过精心设计的辅导统计项目;（3）通过职业发展讲习班和 榜样计划;（4）持久：培养持续的联系，支持学生从事研究事业 在外地，通过建立社区和归属感的活动以及职业支助岗位方案。在 此外，我们建议为教师导师提供一个计划，以提高指导技能，建立信心， 监督历史上被边缘化群体的学生，并提高对 培养这些学生的归属感和应有的存在感。 弗雷德哈钦森癌症中心提供了一个世界知名的研究环境和科学教师， 优先培养下一代生物医学研究人员，并坚定地致力于多样性，公平， 和包容性。普吉湾地区是一个大型移民社区和一系列多元化的少数民族的家园。 文化，这将是有针对性的招聘，通过精心磨练的多样性招聘计划支持， 长期的社区合作伙伴关系。
