项目摘要

The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) proposes to increase the number of well-trained, highly qualified neuroscientists from underrepresented populations. Accelerating the research training of students from underrepresented ethnic/racial groups, students with disabilities, first generation students, and students from lower income backgrounds is central to efforts to broaden participation and enhance inclusiveness in the service of stronger science. UNR is the land grant university of Nevada, and is an R1 institution with a strong tradition of educating students whose access to higher education historically has been limited. Our primary partner and neighbor institution, Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC), is a Hispanic Serving Institution with an outstanding record of preparing students to transition to upper level undergraduate education at UNR. The proposed Nevada ENDURE program will facilitate an intensive two-year training program for 12- 14 trainees per year. During the academic year, trainees will conduct research and participate in weekly professional development and skills training seminars at UNR. During each summer, trainees will participate in summer research programs at our summer educational partner institutions: the University of California, Berkeley, the University of California, Davis, the University of Michigan, and Stanford University. We propose five activities: (1) To provide scientific skills and research experiences through placements with actively funded neuroscientists, (2) To implement academic curriculum enhancement and professional development activities to augment trainees' research activities, (3) To facilitate effective mentoring by program faculty, (4) To maintain an effective Administrative Core to support trainees' development, evaluate program effectiveness, and disseminate best practices, and (5) To expand the ENDURE network and pipeline of talented underrepresented students to doctoral programs in neuroscience. Our measurable objectives during the requested funding period include: (1) attainment of 85-90% admission to doctoral programs in neuroscience, (2) improvement of trainees' research and quantitative skills, and (3) improvement in trainees' scientific writing and presentation skills.

内华达大学里诺（UNR）提议增加训练有素，高素质的数量来自代表性不足的人群的神经科学家。加速从代表性不足的种族/种族群体，残疾学生，第一代学生以及来自较低的收入背景对于扩大参与并提高包容性的努力至关重要更强大的科学服务。 UNR是内华达州土地格兰特大学，是一家R1机构教育学生在历史上接受高等教育的学生的传统受到限制。我们的主要合伙人和邻居机构Truckee Meadows社区学院（TMCC）是西班牙裔服务机构有杰出的记录，使学生准备过渡到高级本科教育在UNR。拟议的内华达州持久计划将促进一项为期12年的密集培训计划每年14名学员。在学年中，学员将进行研究并每周参加 UNR的专业发展和技能培训研讨会。在每个夏天，学员将参加我们夏季教育合作伙伴机构的夏季研究计划：加利福尼亚大学，伯克利，加利福尼亚大学，戴维斯大学，密歇根大学和斯坦福大学。我们建议五项活动：（1）通过主动资助的安置提供科学技能和研究经验神经科学家（2）实施学术课程增强和专业发展活动增强学员的研究活动，（3）促进课程教师的有效指导，（4）维护一个有效的行政核心，以支持受训者的发展，评估计划效率和传播最佳实践，以及（5）扩展持久的网络和才华横溢的管道代表性不足的学生是神经科学的博士课程。我们在要求的资金期包括：（1）获得85-90％的神经科学博士课程的入学（2）提高学员的研究和定量技能，以及（3）改进学员的科学写作和演示技巧。
