Neuroscience Research Opportunities for Hispanics (NeuROH)

这份题为《拉美裔美国人的神经科学研究机会》的提案来自 波多黎各大学里约热内卢校区旨在增加可用于 神经科学领域的本科生。这项提议利用了强者 普遍定期审议调查人员的神经科学专业知识，并加强基本的神经科学网络 加入了本科生、岛屿调查人员和他们在大陆的合作者 机构。该提案的主要目标是增加拉美裔科学家的数量 神经科学通过建立一个感兴趣的学生队列，将获得学术和 与神经科学相关的研究和开发活动的专业培训。它的核心是 该计划是一项针对本科生的综合研究体验，基于三个方面 教学理念：学生公民，服务学习，有目的的研究。培训 计划由三个主要部分组成：(1)研究体验--紧张的研究 学年期间的经历和在一所院校的实验室里的暑期经历 美国大陆，如哈佛、耶鲁、大学。科罗拉多州丹佛大学佛蒙特州，西北 大学，大学。迈阿密，在神经科学和/或优秀赛道上拥有活跃的T32培训赠款 在招募和培训代表不足的少数群体方面的记录。(2)学术培训 参加研讨会、讲习班和精选课程，以增进他们对 神经生物学，以及对研究事业的理解。(3)学生发展活动- 参与者将参加一个指导计划，其中包括社区外展活动、科学 写作和口头演示以及其他专业提升活动。建议数 与神经科学成员一起开展的活动和既定的指导计划 社区将有助于提高学生的竞争力，增强他们对 继续在神经科学领域的研究生涯。NeuROH计划将扩大 波多黎各大学的其他成功项目，不仅专注于 而且还通过大幅扩大可能的导师数量，增加了 并提供包容性和更广泛的培训计划。

This proposal entitled Neuroscience Research Opportunities for Hispanics (NeuROH) from the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras Campus aims to increase the opportunities available for undergraduate students in the area of Neurosciences. The proposal makes use of the strong Neuroscience expertise among UPR investigators and fortifies the underlying neuroscience network that joins undergraduate students, island investigators and their collaborators in mainland institutions. The main goal of the proposal is to increase the number of Hispanic scientists in the Neurosciences by establishing a cohort of interested students that will receive academic and professional training in neuroscience-related research and developmental activities. The core of the program is a comprehensive research experience for undergraduate students based on three teaching philosophies: student-citizen, service-learning and research with a purpose. The training program consists of three major components: (1) Research Experience - An intense research experience during the academic year and a summer experience in a laboratory at an institution in the mainland USA, such as Harvard, Yale, Univ. Colorado Denver, Univ. of Vermont, Northwestern University, Univ. Miami, that have active T32 training grants in neuroscience and/or excellent track record in recruiting and training underrepresented minorities. (2) Academic training ¿ participation in seminars, workshops and selected courses to enhanced their knowledge in neurobiology, and understanding of a research career. (3) Student development activities - Participants will enter a mentoring program that includes community outreach activities, scientific writing and oral presentations and other professional enhancement activities. The proposed activities together with an established mentoring program with members of the Neuroscience community will serve to increase the student competitiveness and enhance their interest in continuing a research career in neuroscience. The NeuROH program will extend the impact of other successful programs at the University of Puerto Rico, not only by focusing on the Neuroscience field but also by greatly expanding the number of possible mentors, increasing the pool of available applicants as well as providing an inclusive and broader training program.
