Summer Undergraduate Research Internship Program

摘要 2000-2014年间，50%的博士学位授予白人，7.7%授予非洲裔美国人，5.4%授予西班牙裔美国人 美国印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民占0.7%（NIGMS，2011年）。拟议的长期目标 夏季研究教育计划（SREP）是为了增加学生人数不足， 少数群体，残疾人和来自弱势背景的人进入生物医学和 行为科学职业。得克萨斯大学西南医学中心（UTSW）， 德克萨斯州阿灵顿（UTA），南卫理公会大学（SMU）和北德克萨斯大学健康 科学中心（UNTHSC）将采取一种与传统的筒仓式机构夏季相比的方法 程序. SREP将提供一个多元化的机构文化网络，以扩大以下方面的机会： 资源（如学生，基础设施和计划）; 2）申请和制作辅导网络 研究生院的决定;和3）尖端的研究经验，补充的使命 妮达为了实现我们的目标，我们制定了以下三个目标： 目标1为10名学者提供额外的10周密集研究培训体验 感兴趣的多学科研究与NIDA的使命和战略计划一致。 目的2提供一种考虑多种影响学员坚持性因素的学业干预方法。 目标3在学者10周的经验之外建立一个学员-导师网络， 学者们沿着他们的职业道路坚持着。 预期的影响是建立一个既定的模式，使各机构分享、发展和实施共同的 从SREP吸取的经验教训的最佳做法。

ABSTRACT Between 2000-2014, 50% of PhDs were awarded to Whites, 7.7% to African Americans, 5.4% to Hispanics and 0.7% to American Indians or Alaska Natives (NIGMS, 2011). The long-term goal of the proposed Summer Research Education Program (SREP) is to increase the number of students from underrepresented minority groups, individuals with disabilities and those from disadvantaged backgrounds into biomedical and behavioral science careers. The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW), The University of Texas Arlington (UTA), Southern Methodists University (SMU) and The University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) will carryout an approach that contrasts with traditional silo-institution summer programs. SREP will provide a network of diverse institutional cultures that will broaden access to: 1) resources (e.g. students, infrastructure and programs); 2) mentoring networks for applying to and making decisions of graduate schools; and 3) cutting-edge research experiences that complement the mission of NIDA. To address our objective, we have developed three aims as follows: Aim 1 Provide trainees an additional 10-week intensive research training experience for 10 Scholars interested in multi-disciplinary research aligned with NIDA's mission and strategic plan. Aim 2 Provide academic interventions considering multiple factors influencing trainees' persistence. Aim 3 Implement a mentee-mentor network beyond the Scholar's 10-week experience which will sustain the Scholars persistence along their career path. The expected impact is to be an established model where institutions share, develop and implement common best practices from lessons learned from SREP.
