ABSTRACT Significant disparities exist in health outcomes for rural and Black, Indigenous or people of color (BIPOC) Americans. A contributing cause to these outcomes is the lack of diversity in translational researchers. To enhance the translational science workforce, we have developed a summer research experience for underrepresented undergraduate scholars who have previously completed a short program exposing them to healthcare careers. Because the University of Iowa has a wide variety of research occurring across the translational spectrum, extensive resources, and a unique role as the only academic medical center in a rural state, we provide an ideal location for this training. The goals of our program are to provide 1) enhanced short- term training in translational science, 2) mentoring of underrepresented future translational scientists, and 3) focused education sessions related to clinical and translational science. To accomplish these goals, our experiential educational opportunity for Beginning and Early Stage Translational (BEST) Researchers will embed students in teams conducting translational research. Additionally, scholars will also participate in educational experiences to provide them with foundational tools to progress to successful careers in translational science. This will include seminars and activities related to bioethics, receiving mentorship, wellness and resiliency, communication skills, advocacy for self-and others, application and interview tips, responsible conduct of research, data management and analysis, and community participatory research. We will utilize the Stanton-Salazar Social Capital Framework for helping scholars build strong relationships with resources and support to advance them in the educational system. Further, our educational sessions will be based on the backward curriculum design framework. This framework ensures that our goals for each session are clearly delineated, and the activities are designed to support these goals. The Evaluation Program in the Institute for Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Iowa will provide oversight that we are achieving our goals and have continuous quality improvement. We will also evaluate the short and long-term progress of the program’s scholars across several domains including improved domain skills, continued participation in research, admission to graduate and professional programs, and submission and acceptance of abstracts and manuscripts. In summary, there will be significant value in our program, and it will result in improving diversity in the next generation of translational researchers which will ultimately contribute to our efforts to reduce health disparities for rural and BIPOC populations.

摘要 农村和黑人、土著或有色人种的健康结果存在显著差异(BIPOC) 美国人。造成这些结果的一个原因是翻译研究人员缺乏多样性。至 加强翻译科学队伍，我们为以下方面开发了暑期研究经验 代表不足的本科生学者，他们之前完成了一个短期课程，使他们接触到 医疗保健事业。因为爱荷华大学有各种各样的研究发生在世界各地 翻译的范围、广泛的资源以及作为农村地区唯一学术医疗中心的独特角色 我们为此次培训提供了一个理想的地点。我们计划的目标是提供1)增强的短期- 翻译科学的学期培训，2)指导未被充分代表的未来翻译科学家，以及3) 与临床和转化科学相关的重点教育课程。为了实现这些目标，我们的 为初学者和早期翻译(BEST)研究人员提供体验式教育机会 将学生纳入进行翻译研究的团队中。此外，学者们还将参加 教育经验，为他们提供迈向成功职业生涯的基础工具 翻译科学。这将包括与生物伦理有关的研讨会和活动，接受指导， 健康和适应力，沟通技巧，自我和他人的倡导，申请和面试技巧， 负责任地进行研究、数据管理和分析，以及社区参与性研究。我们 将利用斯坦顿-萨拉查社会资本框架帮助学者与 资源和支持，以促进他们在教育系统中的地位。此外，我们的教育课程将是 基于落后的课程设计框架。这一框架确保了我们每届会议的目标 这些活动是为支持这些目标而设计的。评估程序中的评估 爱荷华大学临床和翻译科学研究所将提供监督，我们是 完成我们的目标，并有持续的质量改进。我们还将评估短期和长期 该计划的学者在几个领域的进展，包括领域技能的提高，继续 参与研究，录取研究生和专业课程，并提交和接受 摘要和手稿。总而言之，我们的计划将有重大价值，它将导致 提高下一代翻译研究人员的多样性，这最终将有助于我们 努力缩小农村和BIPOC人群的健康差距。
