The proposed project, titled "A Student-Centered Entrepreneurship Development (ASCEND) Training Model to Promote Diversity in Biomedical Research," uses an entrepreneurial versus apprenticeship approach. In Other words, unlike the traditional models, the ASCEND students play a more active role and will take ownership from the start by proposing and selecting their topic of research, designing appropriate research methods, writing small grants, and moving the project forward. The ASCEND model tailors its approach to address factors related to why undergraduate minority students might not be interested in entering a career in biomedical research (e.g., inadequate autonomy and creativity, lack of immediate gratification/reward, lack of peer support). Students in the proposed project will be recruited from Morgan State University and through pipeline partner institutions such as public schools and community colleges. The students can immediately get involved in biomedical research through participation in the Students' Scientific Research Center (SSRC) created by ASCEND to motivate, train, and empower students in conducting their own research. The SSRC creates a pool of interested undergraduate students from which 30 qualified trainees will be recruited into an annual Summer Research Institute (SRI). According to ASCEND, trainees of the SRI will be actively engaged in forming different research teams, choosing research topics, and developing their own proposals. During each academic year, a new cohort of 20 ASCEND scholars will be recruited through a competitive process to get advanced research training and implement their research proposals. They will be assigned to work with experienced mentors helping them develop and implement their Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and research projects. Each cohort will participate for at least two years. In addition, the proposed project intends to enhance the capacity of Morgan State University to train undergraduate minority students by improving relevant infrastructure and forming a cadre of trained faculty and students committed to sustain and disseminate the ASCEND training model. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The ASCEND project will provide research training to a large group of URM students, following an entrepreneurial model that allows them to learn how to do research while doing it. As a result, a new cadre of biomedical minority researchers will be trained who are both familiar with the root causes of health and health disparity problems and highly competent to address them.

拟议的项目名为“以学生为中心的创业发展（ASCEND）培训模式 促进生物医学研究的多样性”，采用创业与学徒的方法。 换句话说，与传统模式不同，ASCEND 学生扮演着更积极的角色，将采取更多行动。 从一开始就提出和选择他们的研究主题，设计适当的研究 方法，提供小额赠款，并推动项目向前发展。 The ASCEND model tailors its approach to 解决与少数族裔本科生可能对进入职业不感兴趣的原因相关的因素 在生物医学研究中（例如，自主性和创造力不足，缺乏即时满足/奖励， lack of peer support).拟议项目的学生将从摩根州立大学招募， 通过公立学校和社区学院等管道合作伙伴机构。学生们可以 通过参加学生科学研究立即参与生物医学研究 由 ASCEND 创建的中心 (SSRC)，旨在激励、培训和授权学生开展自己的活动 研究。 SSRC 创建了一个感兴趣的本科生池，其中 30 名合格的学员 将被招募进入年度夏季研究所（SRI）。 According to ASCEND, trainees of the SRI将积极组建不同的研究团队，选择研究课题，开发 their own proposals.每个学年，都会招募 20 名新的 ASCEND 学者 通过竞争过程获得高级研究培训并实施他们的研究提案。 他们将被分配与经验丰富的导师一起工作，帮助他们制定和实施他们的 个人发展计划 (IDP) 和研究项目。 Each cohort will participate for at least two 年。此外，拟议项目旨在增强摩根州立大学培训人才的能力 通过改善相关基础设施和培养一支训练有素的教师队伍来培养少数民族本科生 以及致力于维持和传播 ASCEND 培训模式的学生。 相关性（参见说明）： ASCEND 项目将为一大群 URM 学生提供研究培训， 创业模式使他们能够在做研究的同时学习如何做研究。 As a result, a new cadre 的生物医学少数研究人员将接受培训，他们熟悉健康和健康的根本原因 健康差距问题并且非常有能力解决这些问题。
