PROJECT SUMMARY/ ABSTRACT There is an urgent need to increase the numbers and diversity of prepared graduates joining the biomedical workforce, through reasoned, evidence-based approaches that follow scientific practices. Florida International University's Engaging and Mentoring through Biomedical Research And Career Exploration (EMBRACE) project will leverage existing evidence to increase the diversity of the biomedical research workforce through coordinated activities including, intentional career development opportunities, authentic student research experiences, and strategic faculty professional development. FIU is an urban Hispanic-serving research-intensive (R1) public institution with over 58,000 students, 80% of which are from groups that are underrepresented in biomedicine. EMBRACE centers on programming that will leverage FIU's extensive expertise in student success, diversity, equity, and inclusion and focus on programming that transforms students' access to biomedical research experiences and career awareness and preparation. EMBRACE aims to 1) support the development of essential biomedical career skills to ensure students are prepared to pursue future biomedical research paths; 2) increase student access to authentic research experiences to promote development of essential research skills; 3) provide leadership opportunities for undergraduate students, and 4) create an informed, proactive institutional community that collectively supports STEM students in biomedical career exploration and development. EMBRACE will offer a novel research and career development experience sequence to increase access to research opportunities, starting with a 1-week research exploration, continuing with increasingly immersive experiences in a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) and follow-up novel Course- based Undergraduate Research Internship Experience (CURIE), and culminating in research leadership opportunities as undergraduate research peer mentors. Students will receive career professional development to promote essential professional skills, awareness of biomedical research career paths, and create opportunities for students to network with faculty, alumni, and scientists. The research curriculum will focus on investigating infectious diseases through the lens of bioinformatics, considering the importance to improve bioinformatics skills among the biomedical workforce and the possibility of providing access to safely conduct infectious pathogen cutting-edge research. Additionally, the project will provide faculty professional development to faculty teaching across the biology degree program to become effective mentors in their large-enrollment classrooms and provide students with guidance and strategies to support their readiness for potential biomedical careers. The integrated research and career support activities, organized longitudinally through the biology degree program, will support a diverse group of undergraduate students to pursue advanced studies and join the biomedical research workforce.

项目摘要/摘要 迫切需要增加有准备的毕业生加入 通过遵循科学实践的理性的、基于证据的方法，促进生物医学工作人员的健康发展。 佛罗里达国际大学通过生物医学研究和职业生涯的参与和指导 探索(拥抱)项目将利用现有证据来增加生物医学的多样性 通过协调活动研究劳动力，包括有目的的职业发展机会， 真实的学生研究经验和战略性的教师专业发展。FIU是一个城市 西班牙裔服务研究密集型(R1)公立机构，有超过58,000名学生，其中80%是 来自那些在生物医学领域代表性不足的群体。拥抱以编程为中心的 利用FIU在学生成功、多样性、公平性和包容性方面的广泛专业知识，并专注于 改变学生获得生物医学研究经验和职业意识的编程 并做好准备。拥抱旨在1)支持发展基本的生物医学职业技能，以 确保学生为未来的生物医学研究道路做好准备；2)增加学生获得 真实的研究经验，促进基本研究技能的发展；3)提供领导力 为本科生提供机会，以及4)创建一个见多识广、积极主动的机构社区 集体支持STEM学生探索和发展生物医学事业。拥抱意志 提供新颖的研究和职业发展体验序列，以增加获得研究的机会 机遇，从为期一周的研究探索开始，继续进行越来越身临其境的研究 以课程为基础的本科生研究体验(CURE)和后续新课程的经验- 基于本科生的研究实习经历(Curie)，并最终成为研究领导力 作为本科生研究同行导师的机会。学生将获得职业生涯专业 促进基本专业技能的发展，提高对生物医学研究职业道路的认识，以及 为学生创造与教职员工、校友和科学家建立联系的机会。研究性课程 将专注于通过生物信息学的镜头调查传染病，考虑到 在生物医学劳动力中提高生物信息学技能的重要性以及提供 获得安全地进行传染病病原体尖端研究的机会。此外，该项目将提供 教师专业发展使教师教学跨越生物学位课程成为 在招生人数众多的教室里提供有效的导师，并为学生提供指导和策略 以支持他们为潜在的生物医学职业做好准备。综合研究和职业支持 通过生物学学位计划纵向组织的活动，将支持不同的群体 本科生继续深造，加入生物医学研究大军。
