北卡罗来纳州NCMHD卓越研究中心的研究教育/培训核心 中央大学(NCCU)正在寻求继续提供资金，以增加初级教师、博士后的数量 来自或服务于以下群体的科学家、研究生和本科生以及大学前实习生 体验健康差距，追求生物医学研究事业。培训核心的参与者将 有机会提升他们的学术、职业和职业发展。研究 NCCU初级教员和博士后实习生的发展将通过参与试点和全面 NCCU NCMHD中心研究核心资助的课题。资金将用于改善 生物、化学和其他相关科学学科的本科生和研究生课程质量 以及吸引更多的少数民族学生在健康差距地区追求科学。培训计划 旨在为NCCU的学生提供独特的、最先进的研究体验 特殊的教学和非传统学习活动，并提供从事研究项目的机会 在他们学术生涯的关键时刻。一个关键特征是将研究整合到 本科生和研究生科学教育。这将继续通过提供支持来实现 为高素质的本科生和研究生进行生物医学研究做好准备 进入劳动力大军或继续攻读专业学位。高中生、社区 本科生、本科生和研究生将继续使用 以下是具体目标： 1)从经历健康差距和发展的群体招聘和培训博士后研究员 为这些群体的学生提供服务的初级教员。 2)培养高中、社区学院和NCCU理科本科生(预科) 通过一个强调健康差距研究的暑期实习计划。 3)为本科生和研究生提供健康差距研究经验 在学年和暑假期间。 4)招收和发展NCCU硕士研究生，以实现向博士项目的无缝过渡 WFUSM和NCSU通过过渡性资助机制或其他合作伙伴提供生物医学科学 机构。 5)开发评估工具，用于评估NCCU中心培训核心的有效性。

The Research Education/Training Core of the NCMHD Research Center of Excellence at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) is seeking continued funding to increase the number of junior faculty, postdoctoral scientists, graduate and undergraduate students, and pre-college trainees, from or serving groups that experience health disparities, that pursue biomedical research careers. Participants in the training core will have the opportunity to enhance their academic, professional and career development. Research development of junior NCCU faculty and postdoctoral trainees will be through participation in pilot and full projects supported by the Research Core of NCCU's NCMHD Center. Funding will be used to improve the quality of undergraduate and graduate programs in biology, chemistry, and other related scientific disciplines as well as attract more minority students to pursue scientific in health disparity areas. The training program is designed to provide unique and state of the art research experiences for NCCU students by providing special didactic and nontraditional learning activities and affording opportunities to work on research projects at key points in their academic careers. A key feature is the integration of research into all aspects of undergraduate and graduate science education. This will continue to be accomplished by providing support for highly qualified undergraduate and graduate students to conduct biomedical research preparing them for entry into the work force or for continuation on to a professional degree. High school students, community college students, and NCCU undergraduates and graduate students will continue to be recruited using the following Specific Aims: 1) Recruit and train postdoctoral fellows from groups that experience health disparities as well as develop junior faculty that serve students from these groups. 2) Train high school, community college and NCCU science undergraduate (pre-freshmen) students through a summer residency program emphasizing health disparities research. 3) Provide health disparities research experiences for NCCU undergraduate and graduate students during the academic year and summer. 4) Recruit and develop NCCU M.S. students to make a seamless transition to Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences at WFUSM and NCSU via BRIDGE funding mechanisms or at other partner institutions. 5) Develop an assessment tool to evaluate the effectiveness of the Training Core of NCCU's Center.
