HAUMANA BIOMEDICAL PROGRAM

夏威夷(夏威夷语中“学生”的意思)生物医学项目 夏威夷大学马诺阿分校(UHM)由 少数民族生物医学研究支持(MBRS)计划 研究资源部。MBR计划的主要目标是 在UHM是提供生物医学方面的主要研究经验 以及面向少数民族本科生的健康科学。学生 以下民族身份的代表性不足 夏威夷的卫生职业：夏威夷人或半夏威夷人，菲律宾人， 萨摩亚人和美洲太平洋岛民。在该州，这些组织 构成了总人口的33.6%，但 在UHM的代表严重不足，总共只有13.8%的 学生人数。该项目的方法是多学科的， 涉及22个教职人员和12个健康科学研究领域。 13名本科生研究参与者将积极参与 每年在第二学期招募和选拔 他们在大学二年级，将进入为期两年的实验室基础 研究项目被归类为三年级学生。学生们将有一个 有机会从各种各样的科学研究中进行选择， 其中很大一部分已经得到了外部来源的支持。 通过研究实验室的经验和职业指导，该计划 寻求激励更多的少数族裔追求 在这个领域的职业生涯。这一过程中的另一个关键因素是 该计划为学生提供了参加和/或 在一个大陆会议上展示科学成果，并制作 为出版工作。在下一个赠款周期中，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和课程中取得成功的问题和技能 关于科学交流的技巧。总节目单已经播放了 在鼓励至少50%的MBR毕业生方面发挥了重要作用 继续从事专业的健康研究和生物医学支持 事业。在之前的预算期间，我们的计划是成功的 在为那些筋疲力尽的MBR学生获得大学资金方面 他们在计划年度结束前的MBR工资分配。 其他创新包括与MBR计划在 夏威夷大学希洛分校的两个研究生职位， 大学资金使学生的工资具有竞争力， MBR本科生获得学费减免的可能性 以及增加新的MBR教职员工。

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.
