Project Summary/Abstract Developing a skilled biomedical workforce is critical for future economic and societal success. The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is a public university with a focus on STEM education. As an R1 research-active university, NJIT’s vision is to provide undergraduate students with research training and mentorship to produce the future generation of scientists and engineers. This training proposal aims to combine the strengths of the NJIT Biomedical Engineering, Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Environmental Science Departments to support seven undergraduate students per year to participate in a three year biomedical research immersion program. NJIT draws students from over 100 countries and conducts extensive outreach to women and underrepresented populations in STEM disciplines, ranking in the top 20 of campus ethnic diversity. Embracing the diversity of students at NJIT, this program will emphasize the training of underrepresented groups, with the goal of increasing participation in research and the transitioning to graduate programs. This program will augment NJIT’s existing culture of inclusivity, engaging students from all racial backgrounds, national origins, gender preferences and abilities. Program Training Objectives: To accomplish our mission, the program intends to: 1) increase the number of fellowship-supported UG students committed to finishing a Bachelor’s Thesis 2) increase the number of underrepresented groups in research through engagement in self-directed learning-based research experiences, 3) retain trainees for the 3 year training period and graduate within the predicted time to graduation 4) foster science and engineering identity through asset-based individualized research experiences, 5) increase the number of students who choose to pursue a research-focused higher degree program in a biomedical field, and 6) enhance the visibility and competitiveness of NJIT trainees in the biomedical field. Our overall training approach will be based on the Staged Self-Directed Learning model as a framework for a structured training program to assist students to grow into self-directed learners. The program comprises didactic training, career development activities, individualized mentorship, and two semesters of research for credit culminating in an undergraduate thesis and scientific dissemination. As an urban technological university serving one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the country, we hope to utilize this training program to prepare a competitive cohort of undergraduate students who, as future scientists and engineers, would help diversify the field of biomedical research.

项目摘要/摘要 培养一支熟练的生物医学劳动力对未来的经济和社会成功至关重要。 新泽西理工学院(NJIT)是一所专注于STEM的公立大学 教育。作为一所R1研究型大学，NJIT的愿景是为本科生提供 通过研究、培训和指导来培养下一代科学家和 工程师。本培训计划旨在结合NJIT生物医学的优势 工程、生物科学、化学和环境科学系 每年资助7名本科生参加为期三年的生物医学研究 沉浸计划。NJIT吸引了来自100多个国家的学生，并开展了广泛的 在STEM学科中接触妇女和代表性不足的人群，排名前20 校园种族多样性。NJIT拥抱学生的多样性，这个项目将 强调对任职人数不足的群体进行培训，目标是增加对 研究和向研究生课程的过渡。该计划将增强NJIT现有的 包容性文化，吸引来自所有种族背景、国籍、性别的学生 偏好和能力。计划培养目标：为完成我们的使命，计划 打算：1)增加接受奖学金支持的UG学生致力于完成 学士论文2)通过以下方式增加研究中代表性不足的群体数量 参与以自主学习为基础的研究经验，3)留住学员3年 培训期限和毕业时间4)培养科学和技术人才 通过基于资产的个性化研究体验获得工程身份，5)增加 选择攻读以研究为重点的高等学位课程的学生人数 生物医学领域，以及6)提高NJIT学员在 生物医学领域。我们的整体培训方法将基于阶段性自我指导学习 将模型作为结构化培训计划的框架，以帮助学生成长为自我指导 学习者。该计划包括指导性培训、职业发展活动、个性化 指导，以及两个学期的学分研究，最终获得一篇本科论文和 科学传播。作为一所城市科技大学，它为世界上最具民族特色的 不同的人口，我们希望利用这个培训计划来准备一个有竞争力的 一群本科生，作为未来的科学家和工程师，他们将帮助实现多样化 生物医学研究领域。
