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，以招募 并为他们提供必要的研究培训，以便 研究生院的录取和成功。目标1：增加积极参与的泽维尔学生数量 考虑生物医学研究职业，通过职业教育。构建学员培训的第1级 该计划旨在教育所有STEM专业的学生关于学生可能不知道或拥有的职业选择 从来没有考虑过自己，包括研究生院和以研究为导向的职业。职业能力倾向 还将进行评估。目标2：增加参与研究的泽维尔学生数量 培训活动。第二级的一个关键要素是学生主导的讨论小组，在那里，更高级的学生 将引导与会者研究和讨论通俗文学对STEM导向的影响等主题 关于水力压裂对地下水的影响以及对塑料中双酚A(BPA)的毒性的关注。也在 第二级，向所有感兴趣的STEM专业学生举办一系列以研究为导向的研讨会。这些事件 将包括更有针对性的研究职业信息，并将帮助学生获得 研究人员。目标3：增加有机会开展活动的泽维尔学生人数 自主研究项目。这一目标有助于实现让更多学生参与 有意义的、引人入胜的本科生研究经历。表现出积极参与的学生 在2级讨论组中，并有强有力的教师推荐将被指定为NIH建筑 学者。这些3级学生将与教师和学生一起参与独立研究项目。 泽维尔和伙伴机构的导师，作为通过总体 计划的目的。这些学生将获得奖学金，并将被要求在 科学会议。NIH Build学者强烈鼓励申请#年的研究生院 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.
