Building Diversity in Biomedical Sciences

生物医学科学项目中的建筑多样性响应RFA-HL-16-008 并寻求继续其近25年的卓越传统发起的赞助下， 最初的NHLBI T35赞助的短期少数民族培训计划。过去 十五年来，我们的计划已经培养了237名本科生，他们是 美国国立卫生研究院认为在生物医学科学中代表性不足的群体。所有这些 学员已完成学士学位或继续就读。继续 与近97%的校友接触显示，毕业后70%进入 研究生健康科学学位课程，共有90%从事 生物医学劳动力。在今后一段时期，我们将在这一成功记录的基础上再接再厉， 提供为期10周的密集指导夏季研究经验，重点是 心血管和肺部疾病以及与NHLBI直接相关的问题。的 培训计划将通过教育奖学金以及生物医学 科学研究将辅以口头和书面交流的培训 通过培养技能和增强自信的经验。学员将 接触基础科学可以通过临床研究直接影响健康的方式 联系研讨会，了解生物医学科学职业的广度 通过关于国内流离失所者和职业规划的会议。一个由40名教师组成的小组， 研究与NHLBI的使命一致，每年夏天将培训15名本科生。一 形成性和总结性评估计划将支持该计划，并由 董事和计划指导委员会酌情修改计划。

The Building Diversity in Biomedical Sciences Program responds to RFA-HL-16-008 and seeks to continue its nearly 25-year tradition of excellence initiated under the aegis of the original NHLBI T35-sponsored short term minority training programs. In the past fifteen years, our program has trained 237 undergraduate students who are members of groups recognized by NIH as underrepresented in biomedical science. All of these trainees have completed their undergraduate degrees or remain enrolled. Continued contact with nearly 97% of these alumni reveals that after graduation 70% have entered graduate health science degree programs and a total of 90% are engaged in the biomedical workforce. In the coming period, we will build on this record of success by providing an intensive 10-week mentored summer research experience with a focus on cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and issues of direct concern to NHLBI. The training program will be informed by educational scholarship as well as biomedical science. Research will be supplemented by training in oral and written communication through experiences that build skills and enhance self-confidence. Trainees will be exposed to the ways basic science can directly impact health through a Clinical Connections Workshop and learn about the breadth of biomedical science careers through sessions on IDPs and career planning. A group of 40 faculty members whose research is aligned with the NHLBI mission will train 15 undergraduates each summer. A formative and summative evaluation plan will support the program and be used by the Directors and the Program Steering Committee to modify the program as appropriate.
