DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a significant underrepresentation of biomedical and behavioral researchers (BBR) from minority and underserved communities. This disparity limits innovation and application of research to address needs of underserved communities. Youth from such communities often lack BBR role models and advocates, may not envision a BBR career, pursue BBR -learning opportunities, and develop the attitudes and skills needed to successfully pursue such a career. In an underserved community, this project aims to: 1) Refine the "Climbing Up and Reaching Back (CURB)" BBR scientist exposure, mentoring, and internship modules, student survey, and facilitator-administered process evaluation, 2) Conduct a qualitative examination of high school students' (a) education and career aspirations, (b) motivations (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy) for aspirations, (d) challenges related to aspirations, and (e) influences on aspirations from 10th through the 12th grade , 3) Examine the characteristics associated with high achieving high school students pursuing BBR, and 4) Assess whether a Patriots Technology Center (PTC) membership plus National Institute for General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) publications (PTC+NIGMS) condition is less likely than a PTC+NIGMS+CURB condition to facilitate motivation for a BBR career, as well as pursuit of a BBR college education. The University of Maryland Prevention Research Center, Maryland Institute for Minority Achievement and Urban Education, and the Patriots Technology Training Center have partnered to reach the study aims. After a program refinement study phase, eight high schools will be randomly assigned; four to the PTC+NIGMS ("control" and four to the PTC+NIGMS+CURB ("intervention') condition. High achieving 10th-grade student volunteers (60 from the intervention and 60 from control schools) will be surveyed at baseline and after six subsequent semester periods to assess motivation for BBR, and pursuit of a BBR college education. The intervention condition will offer CURB consisting of three components: 10th grade BBR career exposures, 11th grade college BBR mentoring, and 12th grade BBR internships. Intervention is aimed at Social Cognitive Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior motivations framed by the idea that BBR scientists can encourage graduate students to encourage undergraduate students to encourage high school students such that students up the BBR ladder support others to climb the BBR ladder. This model could be widely generalizable in community-university partnerships to help undeserved communities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will help to clarify the decision-making processes regarding college education and career choice of high achieving high school students in underserved communities. It will also pilot-test a model mentoring support system for preparing such students for biomedical/behavior research college education. The model is based on a University- Community Based Organization-High School partnership generalizable to other University-Community partnerships.

描述（由申请人提供）：来自少数族裔和服务不足社区的生物医学和行为研究人员 (BBR) 的代表性严重不足。这种差异限制了研究的创新和应用，无法满足服务不足的社区的需求。来自此类社区的年轻人往往缺乏 BBR 榜样和倡导者，可能不会设想 BBR 职业、追求 BBR 学习机会，也不会培养成功从事此类职业所需的态度和技能。在服务欠缺的社区，该项目旨在：1) 完善“攀登和回溯 (CURB)”BBR 科学家接触、指导和实习模块、学生调查和主持人管理的流程评估，2) 对高中生的 (a) 教育和职业抱负，(b) 动机（态度、主观规范、感知行为控制、自我效能）进行定性检查 愿望，(d) 与愿望相关的挑战，以及 (e) 对 10 年级到 12 年级愿望的影响，3) 检查与追求 BBR 的优秀高中生相关的特征，以及 4) 评估爱国者技术中心 (PTC) 会员资格加上国家普通医学科学研究所 (NIGMS) 出版物 (PTC+NIGMS) 条件是否比 PTC+NIGMS+CURB 条件更不可能促进动机 为了 BBR 职业生涯，以及追求 BBR 大学教育。马里兰大学预防研究中心、马里兰州少数族裔成就和城市教育研究所以及爱国者技术培训中心合作实现了这项研究目标。经过项目细化研究阶段后，将随机分配八所高中；四名属于 PTC+NIGMS（“对照”）条件，四名属于 PTC+NIGMS+CURB（“干预”）条件。将在基线和后续六个学期后对成绩优异的 10 年级学生志愿者（60 名来自干预学校和 60 名来自对照学校）进行调查，以评估 BBR 的动机以及追求 BBR 大学教育。干预条件将提供由三个部分组成的 CURB： 10 年级 BBR 职业 接触、11 年级大学 BBR 指导和 12 年级 BBR 实习。干预的目标是社会认知理论和计划行为动机理论，其理念是 BBR 科学家可以鼓励研究生、鼓励本科生、鼓励高中生，这样攀登 BBR 阶梯的学生就会支持其他人攀登 BBR 阶梯。这种模式可以广泛推广到社区与大学的合作伙伴关系中，以帮助不值得的社区。 公共卫生相关性：该项目将有助于澄清服务欠缺社区中成绩优异的高中生的大学教育和职业选择的决策过程。它还将试点一个模型指导支持系统，帮助这些学生为生物医学/行为研究学院教育做好准备。该模型基于大学-社区组织-高中伙伴关系，可推广到其他大学-社区伙伴关系。
