项目摘要

The STEM workforce, including the field of neuroscience, continues to lack racial and ethnic diversity, with only 40% of African American doctoral students completing their degree programs. To reduce the disparity in the representation of Black and Latin-X neuroscience trainees, this proposal establishes a unique fellowship that enhances the training and professional development provided to students enrolled at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). More specifically, this fellowship will diversify our neuroscience curriculum, expand the network of neuroscience peer and traditional mentors of trainees, and help to establish trainees’ leadership in the field through undergraduate course development. All of these programs are intended to deepen the connection of our trainees to the field of neuroscience while providing supportive mechanisms to ensure their personal and professional success. North Carolina Central University and other minority serving institutions are primed to engage underrepresented minorities and increase the diversity of doctoral level trained neuroscientists.

包括神经科学领域在内的STEM劳动力继续缺乏种族和种族多样性，只有40％的非裔美国人博士生完成学位课程。为了减少代表黑人和拉丁语神经科学学员的差异，该提案建立了一个独特的研究金，可以增强向历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）入学的学生提供的培训和专业发展。更具体地说，该奖学金将使我们的神经科学课程多样化，扩大神经科学同伴的网络和受训者的传统导师，并通过本科课程的发展有助于在该领域建立学员的领导。所有这些计划旨在加深我们的学员与神经科学领域的联系，同时提供支持机制，以确保他们的个人和专业成功。北卡罗来纳州中央大学和其他少数民族服务机构已准备好参与代表性不足的少数民族，并增加了受过博士培训的神经科学家的多样性。
