项目摘要

The Brown University Short-Term Training Program supports the training of 15 under- represented (minority and disadvantaged) undergraduate students each year to complete 9- week, faculty mentored summer research internships. The program recruits students from a national pool and provides them with early research training experience in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic and sleep disorders research. This program has existed at Brown for the past 24 years. Over the life of the program 1 of every 15 trainees mentored has become a faculty member; ~50% of the trainees enter a graduate degree program; and ~3.6 of every 15 trainees mentored has earned advanced terminal graduate degrees such as the M.D. /PhD, or the PhD degree. The current proposal seeks renewal of this successful program. By doing so, we will continue to replenish and diversify the biomedical fields by supporting the training of under-represented racial & ethnic minorities, disabled and other disadvantaged individuals. This will be achieved by providing students from these under-represented groups with: a) research training experiences with outstanding faculty mentors at Brown, b) enriching peer mentoring and self-affirming activities led by UR graduate students from the same backgrounds’ c) engaging in activities that model the career lifestyle and habits of scholars, in part through participation in research forums, attending and participating seminars and engaging in social activities, and d) provide a long-term mentoring environment through both career development conferences and online programs. The participatory learning activities of our program will help to motivate trainees to pursue careers in the biomedical sciences. Moreover, by continuing this program we will expand the research opportunities & training experiences for under-represented students that would otherwise not be available to them. This will help to foster a stronger and more career oriented outlook among participants. Inevitably, this will help to preserve the U.S. global competitiveness in the areas of science, medicine, healthcare technology and education.

布朗大学短期培训计划支持培训 15 名以下人员代表（少数族裔和弱势群体）本科生每年完成 9- 一周，教师指导暑期研究实习，该项目招收学生。国家人才库，为他们提供心血管领域的早期研究培训经验，该项目在布朗大学已存在多年。在过去的 24 年里，每 15 名受指导的学员中就有 1 名成为一名教员；约 50% 的学员进入研究生学位课程，每 15 人中约 3.6 人；接受指导的学员已获得高级终端研究生学位，例如医学博士/博士学位，或博士学位。目前的提案旨在延续这一成功的计划，我们将继续这样做。通过支持代表性不足领域的培训来补充生物医学并使其多样化少数族裔、残疾人和其他弱势群体将实现这一目标。为来自这些代表性不足群体的学生提供： a）与布朗大学杰出教师导师一起进行研究培训的经验， b) 丰富由 UR 研究生领导的同伴指导和自我肯定活动相同的背景” c）参与部分模拟学者职业生活方式和习惯的活动通过参加研究论坛、出席和参加研讨会以及参加社交活动，以及 d) 通过职业发展提供长期的指导环境会议和在线节目。我们计划的参与式学习活动将有助于激励学员追求此外，通过继续该计划，我们将扩大生物医学领域的职业生涯。为代表性不足的学生提供研究机会和培训经验否则他们无法获得这将有助于培养更强大、更以职业为导向的人。不可避免地，这将有助于保持美国的全球竞争力。在科学、医学、医疗保健技术和教育领域。
