PROJECT PATHWAYS: STUDENT TRAINING CORE

学生培训核心的总体目标是开发一个多层次的计划，将招募 学生从目前的泽维尔人口，并为他们提供必要的研究培训， 研究生院的录取和成功。目标1：增加积极参与的Xavier学生人数 考虑生物医学研究职业，通过职业教育。BUILD学生培训的第1级 该计划旨在教育所有STEM专业的学生可能不知道或拥有的职业选择 从来没有考虑过自己，包括研究生院和研究型职业。职业能力 也将进行评估。目标2：增加参与研究的Xavier学生人数 培训活动。第二级的一个关键要素是学生领导的讨论小组， 将指导参与者研究和讨论关于STEM导向主题的流行文献，例如 水力压裂对地下水的影响以及对塑料中双酚A（BPA）毒性的担忧。也 2级，一系列以研究为导向的研讨会，向所有感兴趣的STEM专业。这些事件 将包括更多关于研究职业的重点信息，并将帮助学生获得所需的技能， 研究人员目标3：增加Xavier学生的人数，使他们有机会开展 独立研究项目。这一目标有助于实现让更多学生参与的总体目标。 有意义的，吸引人的本科研究经验。表现出积极参与的学生 在2级讨论组，并有强大的教师建议将被指定为NIH建设 学者这些3级学生将参加独立的研究项目与教师和学生 导师，无论是在泽维尔和伙伴机构的一部分，建立关系，通过整体 方案目标。这些学生将获得奖学金，并将被要求提出他们的工作在 科学会议。NIH BUILD学者强烈鼓励申请研究生院， 生物医学领域。

The overarching goal of the Student Training Core is to develop a multi-tiered program that would recruit students from within the current Xavier population and provide them with the research training necessary for admission and success in graduate school. Aim 1: Increase the number of Xavier students who are actively considering biomedical research careers, through career education. Level 1 of the BUILD student training program seeks to educate all STEM majors about career options that students may not know about or have never considered for themselves, to include graduate school and research-oriented careers. Career aptitude assessment will also take place. Aim 2: Increase the number of Xavier students who participate in research training activities. A key element in Level 2 is student-led discussion groups, where more advanced students will guide participants to research and discuss popular literature on STEM-oriented topics such as the effect of hydraulic fracking on groundwater and concerns about the toxicity of bisphenol A (BPA) in plastics. Also in Level 2, a series of research-oriented seminars are presented to all interested STEM majors. These events will include more focused information on research careers, and will help students obtain skills needed by researchers. Aim 3: Increase the number of Xavier students who have the opportunity to carry out independent research projects. This aim contributes to the overall goal of involving more students in meaningful, engaging undergraduate research experiences. Students who have shown active engagement in Level 2 discussion groups and have strong faculty recommendations will be designated as NIH BUILD Scholars. These Level 3 students will participate in independent research projects with faculty and student mentors, both at Xavier and at partner institutions as part of the relationship established through the Overall Program Aims. These students will receive scholarships, and will be expected to present their work at scientific conferences. NIH BUILD Scholars are highly encouraged to apply to graduate schools in biomedical fields.
