Culturally Augmented Learning In Biomedical Informatics Research (CALIBIR) Program

项目摘要/摘要 生物医学信息学研究中的文化增强学习(CALIBIR)计划将解决 显然需要加强生物医学信息学和数据科学领域的多样性，特别是缺乏 在这一领域的不同领域追求研究生课程和职业的人数不足的个人。这个 CALIBIR计划建立在生物医学信息学和数据科学的研究优势和现有的 维克森林大学生物医学信息学、工程学、统计学和计算机科学主题的教学培训 医学院和维克森林大学。计划系(包括计划部主任)有 丰富的学术和专业经验；注重多样性的管理和合作历史 研究和培训方案；以及拟议的五个研究领域的持续研究和资金 CALIBIR培训：临床研究信息学、人工智能、医疗信息学、成像 信息学和翻译生物信息学。因此，我们有条件提供为期10周的暑假。 研究性沉浸体验培养和教育本科生和硕士生水平不足 并促进学生对生物医学信息学和数据的兴趣、接触和研究经验 科学。CALIBIR计划将支持60名学者(12名学生)的指导研究培训活动 每年夏天)。该计划的总体目标是：1)提高未被充分代表的学生的技能、准备、 并承诺参与尖端生物医学信息学研究；2)提供讲座和实践 通过“生物医学信息学靴子”展示最新的生物医学信息学技术 夏令营“；3)提供小组讨论会和联网活动，涵盖负责任的研究、科学研究和网络活动 传播和专业发展主题；4)通过以下方式培养学员在科学传播方面的经验 期刊俱乐部，写作研讨会，以及他们研究的摘要和口头陈述；5)培养影响力 以及学员和导师之间的长期协作关系，以突出团队合作的价值 研究并提供一个接受和包容的环境，这将对来自不同国家的学生产生积极影响 背景；以及6)鼓励代表性不足的学生攻读博士学位并在 生物医学信息学和数据科学领域通过一个经验，例证了兴奋和 临床相关研究的挑战。CALIBIR计划的总体目标是扩展 成功完成生物医学信息学研究生学位的人数不足的学生- 增加生物医学信息学和数据科学工作人员的多样性。 总而言之，CALIBIR计划利用独特的优势、现有的基础设施和长期的 不同计划教员之间的合作，以确保成功地创建和实施 程序。它提供了几种创新的方法来提供技术和专业准备，以 在生物医学信息学和数据科学领域招收和留住代表性不足的学生。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Culturally Augmented Learning In Biomedical Informatics Research (CALIBIR) program will address the clear need to enhance diversity within the biomedical informatics and data science field, particularly the dearth of underrepresented individuals pursuing graduate programs and careers in different areas of this field. The CALIBIR program builds on the research strengths in biomedical informatics and data science and the existing didactic training in biomedical informatics, engineering, statistics, and computer science topics at Wake Forest School of Medicine and Wake Forest University. The Program Faculty (including the Program Directors) have vast academic and professional experiences; a history of administration and collaboration on diversity-focused research and training programs; and ongoing research and funding in the five research domains proposed for CALIBIR training: Clinical Research Informatics, Artificial Intelligence, Healthcare Informatics, Imaging Informatics, and Translational Bioinformatics. Thus, we are well-positioned to offer a 10-week summer research immersion experience to train and educate undergraduate and master’s level underrepresented students and promote greater interest, exposure, and research experiences in biomedical informatics and data science. The CALIBIR program will support mentored research training activities of 60 scholars (12 students per summer). The program's overall goals are to: 1) increase underrepresented students' skills, preparation, and commitment to participate in cutting-edge biomedical informatics research; 2) offer lectures and hands-on demonstrations on state-of-the-art biomedical informatics techniques via a “Biomedical Informatics Boot Camp”; 3) provide group seminars and networking events covering responsible conduct of research, scientific dissemination, and professional development topics; 4) build trainee experience in scientific communication via a journal club, writing workshop, and an abstract and oral presentation of their research; 5) cultivate influential and long-lasting collaborative relationships between trainees and mentors to highlight the value of teamwork in research and provide an accepting and inclusive environment that will positively impact students from diverse backgrounds; and 6) encourage underrepresented students to pursue doctoral studies and careers in biomedical informatics and data science fields through an experience that exemplifies the excitement and challenges of clinically relevant investigations. The overarching goal of the CALIBIR program is to expand the pool of underrepresented students who successfully complete a graduate degree in a biomedical informatics- related field up to a PhD and increase the diversity of the biomedical informatics and data science workforce. In sum, the CALIBIR program takes advantage of unique strengths, existing infrastructure, and long-standing collaborations among diverse program faculty to ensure the successful creation and implementation of the program. It offers several innovative approaches to provide both technical and professional preparation to recruit and retain underrepresented students in the biomedical informatics and data science fields.
