Project Summary The discipline of biomedical informatics is primed to foster scientific innovation and advance health equity. To truly harness the potential of multitude of methods, theories, and application in the field of the informatics, there is pressing need to enhance the diversity of the research community. Recent educational research suggests that intentional connections to culture, community, and local needs may be critical to welcoming and retaining individuals that are traditionally marginalized in biomedical research. Place-based education, a form of community-based learning, aims for purposeful student engagement that is responsive to local environmental and health needs, including its history, culture, people, and ecology. Such learning cultivates critical and analytical skills and actively engages students in real-world problem solving and holds much potential for increasing student engagement in scientific research as well as in interdisciplinary areas such as informatics. In this project, we propose to develop a truly interdisciplinary, Place-based Culturally responsive Health Informatics Research Education (PHIRE) program that brings together expertise from data science, systems science and engineering, health informatics, and public health and infuses regional assets and needs from the community into the training and curricula. The vision of the PHIRE training program is to recruit and prepare a diverse pool of 60 undergraduate students (12 students per year) to conduct scientific research in health informatics with an inherent focus on addressing health disparities and public health needs. The PHIRE training program includes three major components: (1) a 12-week summer research experience, (2) a thematic undergraduate minor in health informatics, and (3) preparation for graduate school or other research careers in health informatics.

项目概要 生物医学信息学学科旨在促进科学创新和促进健康公平。为了真正发挥信息学领域多种方法、理论和应用的潜力，迫切需要增强研究界的多样性。最近的教育研究表明，与文化、社区和当地需求的有意联系对于欢迎和留住传统上在生物医学研究中被边缘化的个人可能至关重要。就地教育是一种基于社区的学习形式，旨在让学生有目的地参与，响应当地的环境和健康需求，包括历史、文化、人民和生态。这种学习培养批判性和分析性技能，并积极让学生参与解决现实世界的问题，并在提高学生对科学研究以及信息学等跨学科领域的参与度方面具有很大潜力。在该项目中，我们建议开发一个真正的跨学科、基于地方的文化响应型健康信息学研究教育 (PHIRE) 计划，该计划汇集了数据科学、系统科学与工程、健康信息学和公共卫生方面的专业知识，并将社区的区域资产和需求注入培训和课程中。 PHIRE 培训计划的愿景是招募和培养 60 名本科生（每年 12 名学生）组成的多元化人才库，开展健康信息学方面的科学研究，其内在重点是解决健康差异和公共卫生需求。 PHIRE 培训计划包括三个主要组成部分：(1) 为期 12 周的夏季研究经历，(2) 健康信息学主题本科辅修课程，以及 (3) 为研究生院或其他健康信息学研究职业做好准备。
