Xavier University of Louisiana is first nationally in the number of African American graduates who go on to earn doctoral degrees in the Life Sciences, and fifth in producing African American students who earn their PhDs in Science and Engineering. This success occurs in spite of the fact that Xavier is a relatively small, primarily undergraduate school and that the majority of its students face socioeconomic challenges. As medicine and pharmacy are familiar professions to Xavier students and their families, and since the University has a national reputation for producing health professionals, about 47% of Xavier’s new freshmen enter a premedical curriculum and another 27% enter as pre-pharmacy students. However, of these students a large percentage does not enter professional or pharmacy programs for various reasons. Thus, there are a significant number of students at Xavier who are at risk of being left behind and who might choose careers in biomedical research with early awareness, career advising, and hands-on research opportunities. The national literature identifies unique barriers faced by underrepresented individuals entering into biomedical research careers, including the lack of: (1) early awareness and deepening exposure to the type of rewards associated with biomedical research careers, and the sense of accomplishment gained from success in early biomedical educational experiences; (2) supportive relationships, particularly those related to faculty advising and mentoring; (3) suitable educational infrastructure; and (4) active engagement in meaningful biomedical research experiences and the presence of faculty and institutional resources needed to do this and enter graduate programs successfully. The Building Integrated Pathways to Independence for Diverse Biomedical Researchers Program at Xavier University of Louisiana (Project Pathways) aims to transform Xavier’s educational and support systems to better educate and engage students on the pathway to a biomedical research career, particularly those at high risk of not entering or of exiting this pathway. The second phase, Project Pathways II is responding to the findings of Project Pathways I by retaining, improving, or replacing initiatives as appropriate. Project Pathways II aims to identify the initiatives which are most impactful, cost-effective, sustainable, and transferable. The results of this Project Pathways II experiment will be widely disseminated to the greater academic community.

路易斯安那州Xavier大学是全国第一位的非裔美国人毕业生人数 在生命科学中获得博士学位，而在生产赚钱的非洲裔美国学生中获得了第五名 科学与工程学博士。尽管Xavier是一个相对较小的事实，但这种成功还是发生了 主要是本科生，大多数学生都面临社会经济挑战。作为 医学和药房是Xavier学生及其家人的熟悉专业人员，并且自大学以来 Xavier新生中约有47％的新生以培养卫生专业人员而闻名 课程和另外27％的人作为药房学生进入。但是，这些学生很大 由于各种原因，百分比不进入专业或药房计划。那有一个 Xavier的大量学生有被遗忘的风险，他们可能会选择职业 具有早期意识，职业咨询和动手研究机会的生物医学研究。 国家文学确定了代表性不足的人所面临的独特障碍 生物医学研究职业，包括缺乏：（1）早期意识和加深接触的类型 与生物医学研究事业相关的奖励，以及从成功中获得的成就感 在早期的生物医学教育经验中； （2）支持性关系，尤其是与教师有关的关系 咨询和心理； （3）合适的教育基础设施； （4）积极参与有意义的 生物医学研究经验以及需要做到这一点的教师和机构资源的存在和 成功地输入研究生课程。 Xavier的不同生物医学研究人员计划的建筑综合途径 路易斯安那大学（项目途径）旨在将Xavier的教育和支持系统转变为 更好地教育并吸引学生参加生物医学研究职业的途径，尤其是那些 不进入或退出这一途径的风险。第二阶段，项目途径II正在响应 项目途径I的发现是通过保留，改进或替换倡议的适当结果。项目途径 II旨在确定最有影响力，成本效益，可持续和转移的举措。 该项目途径II实验的结果将被广泛传播到更大的学术界。
