 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diverse racial and ethnic groups, as well as individuals with disabilities and/or having socially, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds are underrepresented in neuroscience. Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) and New York University (NYU) recognize that increasing the number of highly qualified neuroscientists from these underrepresented populations is integral to our future as academic and research institutions. Hunter College and NYU aim to increase the number of well-trained, diverse neuroscientists. BP-ENDURE at Hunter and NYU proposes to capitalize on and expand on the objectives and success of our first 5 years of BP-ENDURE funding, which has produced 15 program graduates in the program's first 4 years who have applied to and been offered admission to graduate school. Importantly, 100% of BP-ENDURE graduates from Hunter and NYU who have applied to doctoral programs were accepted. Some are at the best universities in the country, such as Harvard, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, Brown, and Yale. The overall goal of this application is to develop a neuroscience training program at Hunter that will encourage and prepare students from diverse backgrounds to enter into and succeed in neuroscience PhD programs. To achieve this goal, Hunter College has developed a research-educational partnership with four outstanding T32-awarded universities-New York University, Brown University, University of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University. This partnership will expose 12 BP-ENDURE-trainee students per year to a research-intensive curriculum and an environment of excellence and active research. Moreover, because of the diversity of the proposed mentors, students will be exposed to a broad spectrum of researchers, including basic neuroscientists interested in central nervous system (CNS) issues and applied neuroscientists from the areas of clinical, social, health, developmental, computational, and cognitive neuropsychology. During this funding period, four developmental activities are proposed: (1) To develop an outstanding group of undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds dedicated to neuroscience research; (2) To provide scientific skills and research experiences to our trainees through research placement with actively funded neuroscientists in three different university settings, so as to expose students to laboratories that differ in scale, hierarchically, stylisticaly, and geographically; (3) To develop academic development and curriculum enhancement activities rooted in the student's research activities; and (4) To maintain an effective Administrative Core to support our students' needs and development. Our measurable objectives during the requested funding period include: (1) attaining 85 to 90% acceptance of trainees to graduate school programs in neuroscience; (2) improving our students' quantitative skills and academic achievements, as well as their (3) scientific writing (of research and grants) and oral presentation skills. Outcome from evaluations of the Steering Committee, the external evaluator, and the Administrative Core will guide future modifications to our training initiatives.

 描述(由申请者提供)：不同的种族和民族群体，以及残疾和/或具有社会、经济或教育不利背景的个人在神经科学中的代表性不足。纽约城市大学亨特学院(CUNY)和纽约大学(NYU)认识到，从这些代表性不足的人群中增加高素质神经科学家的数量，对于我们作为学术和研究机构的未来是不可或缺的。亨特学院和纽约大学的目标是增加训练有素、多样化的神经科学家的数量。BP-Endure at Hunter和纽约大学提议利用和扩大我们BP-Endure基金头5年的目标和成功，该基金在项目的前4年培养了15名项目毕业生，他们已经申请并获得了研究生院的录取机会。重要的是，100%申请博士项目的亨特和纽约大学BP-Endure毕业生都被录取了。有些人在美国最好的大学，如哈佛大学、哥伦比亚大学、约翰霍普金斯大学、加州大学伯克利分校、布朗大学和耶鲁大学。这项申请的总体目标是在Hunter开发一个神经科学培训项目，鼓励和准备来自不同背景的学生进入神经科学博士项目并取得成功。为了实现这一目标，亨特学院与纽约大学、布朗大学、密歇根大学和范德比尔特大学四所优秀的T32级大学建立了研究和教育合作伙伴关系。这一合作关系将使每年12名BP耐力实习生接触到研究密集型课程以及卓越和积极的研究环境。此外，由于推荐导师的多样性，学生将接触到广泛的研究人员，包括对中枢神经系统(CNS)问题感兴趣的基础神经学家和来自临床、社会、健康、发展、计算和认知神经心理学领域的应用神经学家。在这段资助期间，我们建议开展四项发展活动：(1)培养一批具有不同背景的杰出本科生，致力于神经科学研究；(2)透过在三所不同大学与积极资助的神经科学家进行研究，为学员提供科学技能和研究经验，让学生接触不同规模、不同层次、不同风格和不同地域的实验室；(3)发展学术发展和课程优化活动；及(4)维持有效的行政核心，以支援学生的需要和发展。在要求的资助期间，我们的可衡量目标包括：(1)达到85%至90%的学员被神经科学研究生院项目录取；(2)提高我们学生的量化技能和学术成就，以及他们(3)科学写作(研究和资助)和口头陈述技能。指导委员会、外部评估员和行政核心的评价结果将指导我们今后对培训举措的修改。
