Project Summary The goal of this short-term research training program is to utilize research training opportunities in the areas of cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders to increase the readiness and competitiveness of students traditionally underrepresented in these areas as they train for and enter careers in the biomedical research workforce. The limited pool of qualified UR groups applying to graduate programs points to a clear need for focused mentorship and training for students from UR groups as they prepare for graduate training. To address this need, Brown University requests a competitive renewal of NIH NHLBI funding for the Short-Term Training Program to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Research to permit 17 UR undergraduate students per year to participate in an intensive 9-week summer research training experience with exposure to multidisciplinary research directly related to cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders. This will be achieved by creating immersive learning environments inside and outside the lab. Selected students are paired with faculty sponsors for training in the lab and interact with peer and faculty mentors in other academic settings. The specific aims of this program are: a) Enhance the scientific education and research skills of its participants; b) Instill self-affirming practices in participants of this program who, in turn, will model this success to their peers; c) Initiate the process by which participants become life-long learners by helping them to develop the skills and habits of scientists and scholars; d) New Initiative: Foster a continuity of mentorship and training to support the progression of underrepresented students along PhD and MD-PhD training pathways and into the biomedical workforce; e) New Initiative: Expose underrepresented students to research and role models to increase their competitiveness for PhD or MD-PhD training programs. This project builds on our previous successes and fortifies efforts to increase the ranks of underrepresented scholars in doctoral programs and the scientific workforce.

项目概要 该短期研究培训计划的目标是利用研究培训机会 在心血管、肺、血液和睡眠疾病领域，以增加 传统上在这些领域代表性不足的学生的准备度和竞争力，因为他们 培训并进入生物医学研究队伍的职业生涯。合格 UR 的数量有限 申请研究生课程的团体指出明确需要有重点的指导和 为 UR 团体的学生提供培训，为他们准备研究生培训。为了解决这个问题 需要，布朗大学请求 NIH NHLBI 竞争性更新资助 短期培训计划，以增加健康相关研究的多样性，以允许 17 UR 本科生每年参加为期 9 周的暑期强化研究培训 有接触与心血管直接相关的多学科研究的经验， 肺部、血液和睡眠障碍。 这将通过在内部和外部创建沉浸式学习环境来实现 实验室。选定的学生与教师赞助商配对，在实验室进行培训并互动 与其他学术环境中的同行和教师导师。该计划的具体目标 是： a) 提高参与者的科学教育和研究技能； b) 向该计划的参与者灌输自我肯定的做法，而他们反过来也会以此为榜样 为同龄人带来成功； c) 通过帮助参与者启动成为终身学习者的过程 培养科学家和学者的技能和习惯； d) 新举措：促进指导和培训的连续性以支持进展 未被充分代表的学生沿着博士和医学博士-博士培训途径进入 生物医学劳动力； e) 新举措：让代表性不足的学生接触研究并树立榜样 提高他们在博士或医学博士-博士培训项目中的竞争力。 该项目建立在我们之前的成功基础上，并加大努力，以提高 博士课程和科学队伍中的学者人数不足。
