HAUMANA BIOMEDICAL PROGRAM

Haumana（夏威夷语中的“学生”）生物医学项目 夏威夷大学马诺阿分校（UHM）由以下机构提供资助： 少数民族生物医学研究支持（MBRS）计划 研究资源部。 MBRS计划的主要目标 在UHM是提供一个主要的研究经验，在生物医学 为少数民族本科生提供健康科学课程。 学生 下列族裔身份的代表人数不足： 夏威夷的卫生专业：夏威夷或部分夏威夷，菲律宾， 萨摩亚人和美国太平洋岛民。 在美国，这些团体 占总人口的33.6%，但 在UHM的代表性严重不足，仅占13.8% 学生人口。 该方案的方法是多学科的， 涉及22名教师和12个健康科学研究领域。 13名本科生研究参与者将积极 每年在第二学期招募和挑选 他们的大二，并将进入为期两年的实验室为基础的 研究项目的学生 学生将有 有机会从各种各样的科学研究中选择， 其中大部分已经得到了校外资源的支持。 通过研究实验室的经验和职业指导， 旨在激励更多的少数民族追求 在这个领域的职业生涯。 这个过程中的另一个关键因素是 该计划为学生提供的机会参加和/或 在内地会议上发表科研成果， 为出版工作。 在下一个资助周期，我们建议提供 第二年有两门专业课程，一门关于 在生物医学职业生涯中取得成功的问题和技能， 关于科学沟通技巧的 总方案起到了 鼓励至少50%的MBRS毕业生发挥重要作用 继续专业健康研究和生物医学支持 careers. 在上一个预算期间，我们的计划是成功的， 在获得大学基金为那些MBRS学生谁用尽 他们的MBRS工资分配在计划年度结束前。 其他创新包括与MBRS计划的联系， 夏威夷大学希洛分校通过两个研究生职位， 大学的资金，使学生的工资有竞争力， 获得MBRS本科生学费减免的可能性 和新的MBRS教师的增加。

The Haumana (Hawaiian word for 'Student') Biomedical Program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) is supported by a grant from the Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program of the Division of Research Resources. The major goal of the MBRS program at UHM is to provide a major research experience in the biomedical and health sciences for undergraduate minority students. Students of the following ethnic identities are under represented tn Hawaii's health professions: Hawaiian or Part-Hawaiian, Filipino, Samoan and American Pacific Islander. In the State, these groups form a significant combined total of 33.6% of the population, but are severely under represented at UHM totalling only 13.8% of the student population. The program's approach is multidisciplinary, involving 22 faculty and 12 fields of study in the health sciences. Thirteen undergraduate research participants will be actively recruited and selected each year during the second semester of their sophomore year and will enter the two-year laboratory-based research program as classified juniors. Students will have an opportunity to choose from a wide variety of scientific research, much of which is already supported from extramural sources. Through the research lab experience and career guidance the program seeks to motivate a greater number of ethnic minorities to pursue careers in this field. Another key factor in this process is the opportunity the program provides for the student to attend and or present scientific results at a mainland conference and to produce work for publication. For the next grant cycle we propose to offer two specialty courses during the second year, a course on the issues and skills for success in a biomedical career and a course on science communication skills. The total program has played a significant role in encouraging at least 50% of our MBRS graduates to continue in professional health studies and biomedical support careers. In the previous budget period, our program was successful in obtaining University Funds for those MBRS students who exhausted their MBRS salary allotments prior to the end of the program year. Other innovations include a linkage to the MBRS program at the University of Hawaii at Hilo through two graduate positions, University funds to make the student salaries competitive, the possibility of obtaining tuition waivers for MBRS undergraduates and the addition of new MBRS faculty.
