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.

布朗大学的短期培训计划支持15个低下的培训 每年代表（少数民族和处境不利）的本科生，完成9- 一周，教师指导了夏季研究实习。该计划报告了来自 国家游泳池，为他们提供心血管的早期研究培训经验， 肺，血液学和睡眠障碍研究。这个程序已经存在于布朗 过去24年。在计划的一生中，每15名学员中的1个都已成为 教职员工；约50％的学员进入研究生学位课程；每15次中的〜3.6 学员指导的已获得高级终端研究生学位，例如M.D. /PhD或 博士学位。 当前的提案寻求续签该成功计划。这样，我们将继续 通过支持代表性不足的培训来补充和多样化生物医学领域 种族和少数民族，残疾人和其他处境不利的人。这将通过 为这些代表性不足的团体提供： a）与布朗的杰出教师导师的研究培训经历， b）丰富由您的研究生领导的同伴心理和自我肯定的活动 相同的背景 c）从事对学者的职业生活方式和习惯进行建模的活动，部分部分是 通过参加研究论坛，参加和参与的半小伙子以及 从事社交活动，以及 d）通过职业发展提供长期心理环境 会议和在线计划。 我们计划的参与学习活动将有助于激励学员购买 生物医学科学的职业。此外，通过继续此程序，我们将扩展 为不足的学生提供的研究机会和培训经验 否则他们将无法使用。这将有助于培养更强大，更面向职业的 参与者的前景。不可避免地，这将有助于维护美国全球竞争力 在科学，医学，医疗技术和教育领域。
