BUILDing SCHOLARS (Student Training Core)

应德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的要求，赠款的这一部分将集中努力支持 学生培养中心的建筑学者中心。此核心的目标是增加 来自不同背景、受过良好培训以从事研究事业的个人数量 生物医学。我们将招收高中生和管道合作伙伴来自德克萨斯州、新墨西哥州和 亚利桑那州是拉美裔和美洲原住民学生密集聚集的州， 来自德克萨斯州东部的非洲裔美国学生。具体目标如下：(一)落实 全面的招生策略，从该地区的高中招收一年级、二年级和三年级学生 学校以及转学学生从管道合作伙伴中参与建造学者套间 在课程中，(2)学生将参加一个渐进的、高强度的写作和严谨的 从一年级开始的灵活的研究培训，以培养作为一个广泛的 生物医学研究界，(3)提供负责任行为的定期和全面培训 研究(RCR)的每一位学生参与者。虽然大多数培训计划都是针对三年级和四年级的， 这些活动具有创新性，因为它们针对的是一年级和二年级的学生。此外，传统的培训 生物医学专业传统上是面向生物和化学专业的学生。这个 拟议的计划针对更广泛的学科，包括生物医学工程、心理学、 社会学和公共卫生科学。该计划还提供了正式的连续性，从早期的 学生毕业前的学术生涯，也包括我们的渠道和研究伙伴 这将通过一个多机构的项目设计来“增强”学生的坚持性。最后， 构建计划基于资产捆绑框架的概念，该框架识别 所需资产之间的相互作用或协同关系，以确保培训成功 来自代表性不足背景的本科生。

This component of the grant, requested by the University of Texas at El Paso, will focus efforts on supporting the Student Training Core of the BUILDing SCHOLARS Center. The goal of this Core is to increase the number of individuals from diverse backgrounds who are well trained to pursue research careers in biomedicine. We will recruit high school students and Pipeline Partner students from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, states which are home to dense concentrations of Hispanic and Native American students and African American students from east Texas. The specific aims are as follows: (1) Implement a comprehensive recruiting strategy to enroll freshmen, sophomores, and juniors from the region's High Schools as well as transfer students from pipeline partners to participate in the BUILDing SCHOLARS suite of programs, (2) Students will participate in a progressively advanced, writing-intensive and rigorous but flexible research training that starts at the freshman level to develop an early identity as a member of a broad biomedical research community, (3) Deliver periodic and comprehensive training in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) to every student participant. While most training programs target juniors and seniors, these activities are innovative because they target freshmen and sophomores. Moreover, traditional training programs in biomedical sciences are traditionally geared for students in biology and chemistry. The proposed program targets a broader range of disciplines, including biomedical engineering, psychology, sociology and public health sciences. The program also offers a formalized continuity from early in the student's academic career through graduation that also includes our pipeline and research partner connections, which will "enhance" student persistence through a multi-institutional program design. Finally, the BUILD program is grounded in the concept of an asset bundling framework which recognizes the interaction or synergistic relationship between needed assets to insure success in the training of undergraduate students from under-represented backgrounds.
