Enhancing Cross Disciplinary Infrastructure and Training at Oregon (EXITO)

该提案的长期目标是加强俄勒冈州的跨学科基础设施培训 （EXITO）通过调整来自俄勒冈州、华盛顿、阿拉斯加和美国太平洋岛屿的机构和教师， 支持创新本科研究培训计划的发展。我们会达到目标的 通过加强参与院校的基础设施，增加本科生和 代表性不足的学生追求生物医学，行为，社会和临床研究事业。在 波特兰州立大学，我们将与大学研究通识教育计划，城市 荣誉计划，麦克奈尔学者，路易斯斯托克斯少数民族联盟参与，和波特兰桥梁， 加强本科生研究训练计划的学士学位。EXITO将与四个当地 社区学院（3所在俄勒冈州，1所在温哥华华盛顿），以加强机构协议， 将导致更多的代表性不足的学生转移到PSU追求生物医学事业 EXITO还将扩大美属萨摩亚学生的本科培训机会 社区学院和北方马里亚纳学院参加EXITO课程等活动 联盟，学费协议，成为研究学习社区的一部分，指导和参与 教师。我们聘请来自关岛大学、夏威夷和夏威夷大学的学生和教师， 阿拉斯加，安克雷奇允许互惠机会，在本科研究培训和发展 研究学习社区。EXITO将利用PSU正在进行的干预研究和服务， 参与机构积极与残疾学生和正在或曾经 寄养系统的一部分，参加导致研究的体验式学习活动 最后，EXITO将调整PSU和OHSU（一个研究密集型机构）之间正在进行的活动。 加强生物医学研究、教育和社区参与的途径。该提案 独特的，因为它将改变如何代表性不足的学生从不同的大学，包括转让 学生，可以提高他们在本科研究的参与与成功的明确途径。 相关性（参见说明）： EXITO建议为生物医学领域代表性不足的学生增加职业研究途径 通过改变通识教育教学，让教师和学生参与研究性学习， 社区，并利用现有的培训计划。EXITO将吸引来自多个国家的学生 种族/民族背景，残疾状况和一生的经历，参加动手研究， 高级顶点和有偿研究经验。职业和研究导师将支持学生的成功。

The long-term objective of this proposal is to Enhance Cross-disciplinary Infrastructure Training at Oregon (EXITO) by aligning institutions and faculty from Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and the U.S. Pacific Islands to support the development of innovative undergraduate research training programs. We will achieve our goal by enhancing infrastructure of participating institutions to increase the number of undergraduate and underrepresented students pursuing biomedical, behavioral, social, and clinical research careers. At Portland State University we will work with the University Studies general education program, the Urban Honors program, the McNairs Scholars, Louis Stokes Minority Alliance Participation, and Portland Bridges to Baccalaureate to enhance undergraduate research training programs. EXITO will work closely with four local community colleges (3 in Oregon and 1 in Vancouver Washington) to enhance institutional agreements that will result in more underrepresented students transferring to PSU to pursue careers in biomedical programs.EXITO will also expand undergraduate training opportunities for students from American Samoa Community College and Northern Mariana College to participate in EXITO activities such as curricular alignments, tuition agreements, being part of research learning communities, mentoring and engaging with faculty. We engage students and faculty from the University of Guam, University of Hawaii, and University of Alaska, Anchorage to permit reciprocal opportunities in undergraduate research training and development of research learning communities. EXITO will leverage ongoing intervention research and services at PSU and participating institutions to actively engage with students with disabilities and youth who are or have been part of the Foster Care System to take part in experiential learning activities leading to research careers.Lastly, EXITO will align ongoing activities between PSU and OHSU, a research intensive institution to strengthen pathways to biomedical research, education, and community engagement. The proposal is unique because it will transform how underrepresented students from diverse universities, including transfer students, can enhance their engagement in undergraduate research with clear pathways for success. RELEVANCE (See instructions): EXITO proposes to increase career research pathways for underrepresented students in biomedical sciences by transforming general education instruction, engaging faculty and students in research learning communities, and leveraging existing training programs. EXITO will engage students from multiple racial/ethnic backgrounds, disability status, and lifetime experiences to take part in hands-on research, senior capstone, and paid research experiences. Career and research mentors will support student success.
