University of Georgia (UGA) ESTEEMED: Mentored Experiential Research to Promote Diversity in Biomedical Engineering and Science

项目摘要/摘要 由不同的多元PI团队(2个URM，1个UR)领导，UGA受人尊敬的项目将领导受人尊敬的 学者们沿着不断增加的挑战之路--一条包括生物医学研究应用的道路-- 朝着对博士工作感兴趣并取得成功的目标前进。学者们将进入受人尊敬的项目 通过暑期桥牌课程和同一地点的生物医学生活学习社区，这将确保 他们已经订婚并建立了关系网。在第一年，他们将加入一个由工程高级设计团队指导的团队 由临床医生和工程师提供，并专注于针对服务不足的社区的生物医学设计，以体验 知识如何从对自然的观察转变为能够改变生活的产品。他们会 与同行导师合作，应用科学以符合工业的方式解决现实世界的问题 实践，学习如何倾听、提问和回答业务--并最终研究--通过 个人交流。这些学者将在夏季外展项目中接受指导，以了解如何 他们的技能和解决方案可以影响一个社区。这些经验将激励学者们发展一种 当他们开始开发伟大的想法和解决方案时，他们会形成研究探究的心态。学者们将会了解到 词汇和研究基础设施，并对研究界有归属感。他们会 通过动物医学/监管的视角了解生物医学科学，参与同一健康 设计挑战，与其他机构学习生物医学的受人尊敬的学者合作 通过人类医学的镜头(佐治亚理工学院)和通过生理环境的科学 (萨凡纳州立大学)。他们将参与有指导的研究项目，这将巩固他们的信念 他们可以做出有价值的贡献。当学者们从这个受人尊敬的项目毕业后，将进入 LSAMP或McNair表彰项目。值得尊敬的目标是： 1.从第二年开始，每年至少有90%的UGA受尊敬的学者参与研究。 2.让90%的UGA受尊敬的学者过渡到高级荣誉计划。 3.让75%的UGA尊敬的学者在STEM全国会议上展示他们的研究 50%的学生毕业时将发表生物医学科学/工程方面的研究论文。 4.为100%的学者进入研究生院做好准备，至少75%的人在 生物医学科学/工程(或医学/博士课程)毕业后五年内。 5.为75%的UGA尊敬的学者注册研究生进入博士后 在完成研究生培训后一年内就业或从事生物医学研究工作。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Lead by a diverse multiple PI team (2URM, 1 UR), the UGA ESTEEMED program will lead ESTEEMED scholars along a path of increasing challenges – a path that includes the application of biomedical research -- toward the goal of interest and success in doctoral work. The scholars will enter the ESTEEMED program through a summer bridge curriculum and a co-located biomedical living-learning community, which will ensure they are engaged and networked. In their first year, they will join an engineering senior design team mentored by clinicians and engineers, and focused on biomedical design for underserved communities, to experience how knowledge is transformed from observations about nature to products that can change lives. They will work with peer mentors to apply science to solve real-world problems in ways consonant with industrial practices, learning how to listen, question, and answer business -- and ultimately research -- questions through personal communication. The scholars will be coached during a summer outreach project to appreciate how their skills and solutions can impact a community. These experiences will inspire the scholars to develop a research inquiry mindset as they start developing big ideas and solutions. The scholars will learn the vocabulary and infrastructure of research and have a sense of belonging to the research community. They will learn about biomedical sciences through the lens of animal medicine/regulatory and participate in One Health design challenges, teaming with ESTEEMED scholars at other institutions who are learning about biomedical sciences through the lens of human medicine (Georgia Tech) and through the physiological environment (Savannah State University). They will engage in mentored research projects that will cement their belief that they can make valuable contributions. Upon “graduation” from the ESTEEMED program, the scholars will enter the LSAMP or McNair honors programs. The ESTEEMED aims are: 1. To engage at least 90% of the UGA ESTEEMED scholars in research each year starting with year two. 2. For 90% of the UGA ESTEEMED scholars to transition into an Advanced Honors Program. 3. For 75% of the UGA ESTEEMED scholars to present their research at a STEM national conference and for 50% to graduate with research publications in biomedical science/engineering. 4. To prepare 100% of the scholars for graduate school, at least 75% enrolling in Ph.D. programs in biomedical science/engineering (or M.D./Ph.D. programs) within five years of post-baccalaureate. 5. For 75% of the UGA ESTEEMED scholars who enroll in graduate studies to enter postdoctoral employment or a biomedical research career within year of completing graduate training.
