Project Summary: The primary objective of The Hub at Rochester: Educating and Advancing Deaf/hard of hearing graduate Students, (THREADgS) is to rigorously train deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) pre-doctoral Scholars and support their advance into independent academic careers within biomedical research enterprise. This is a vital unmet national need: the D/HH community is greatly underrepresented in the biomedical science academic workforce. Even so, there is no T32 program at any United States research-intensive university that focuses on training D/HH graduate students. The University of Rochester (UR) and the Rochester community as a whole have the resources and infrastructure to support D/HH learners at all other career stages. As the UR expands support for D/HH learners, THREADgS will also stimulate the further development of infrastructure to support American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter training in scientific terminology through a centralized mechanism. It will improve the environment for D/HH scientists, by “mentoring the mentors” to actively maintain inclusive communication strategies for D/HH trainees. Also, by freely disseminating our approach and outcomes, a successful implementation of this proposal will improve training for D/HH STEM graduate students everywhere. Our goals are: 1.) Double the number of D/HH graduate Scholars at URSMD in five years, an NIH Category B demographic – individuals with disabilities – that are critically underrepresented in biomedical research. 2.) Complete our NIGMS-funded pipeline for D/HH training in biomedical research, which currently supports undergraduates, masters’ students, and Ph.D. fellows, but not graduate Scholars. This is the only career pipeline for D/HH individuals at any research-intensive institution. 3.) Dramatically improve Deaf-aware mentoring through institutional support of formal training. 4.) Promote retention, social cohesion, and identification as biomedical researchers among D/HH graduate Scholars to improve graduate rates and reduce training time. 5.) Improve scientific training for all D/HH biomedical researchers by contributing to established lexicons of technical signs in American Sign Language (ASL) and by freely disseminating both our approach and outcomes as peer- reviewed articles. We will recruit 3 new D/HH scholars per year, with a maximum of a three-year appointment in T32 funding, to maintain a steady state of 9 D/HH Scholars within the program. As trainees leave T32 funding and complete their graduate studies, they will build a larger D/HH scholar community. Overall, this unique T32 program will equip our Scholars with the knowledge and research skills necessary for successful career advancement. The ultimate goal is that our Scholars will achieve full-time academic appointments in higher education and/or research institutions to reduce the dearth of D/HH faculty serving the nation's biomedical research needs.

项目摘要：罗切斯特枢纽的主要目标：教育和推动聋/硬 听力研究生，（线程）将严格训练聋哑训练和努力听力（D/HH） 学者并支持他们进入生物医学研究企业中独立的学术职业。 这是一项至关重要的国家需求：在生物医学科学中，D/HH社区的人数大大不足 学术劳动力。即便如此，美国任何研究密集于大学都没有T32计划 专注于培训D/HH研究生。罗切斯特大学（UR）和罗切斯特社区 总体而言，在所有其他职业阶段都有资源和基础设施来支持D/HH学习者。作为UR 扩展对D/HH学习者的支持，ThreadGS还将刺激基础架构的进一步发展 通过集中式支持美国手语（ASL）口译员培训 机制。它将通过“指导导师”积极维护D/HH科学家的环境 D/HH学员的包容性沟通策略。同样，通过自由传播我们的方法和结果， 该提案的成功实施将改善各地D/HH STEM研究生的培训。 我们的目标是：1。）五年来URSMD的D/HH研究生学者的数量是B级 demographic – individuals with disabilities – that are critically underrepresented in biomedical research. 2.） 完成我们的NIGMS资助的管道，用于生物医学研究的D/HH培训，目前支持 本科生，硕士学生和博士学位。研究员，但不是研究生学者。这是唯一的职业管道 对于任何研究密集型机构的D/HH个人。 3.）显着改善聋哑人的心理 通过机构支持正规培训。 4.）促进保留，社会凝聚力和身份证明 D/HH研究生学者的生物医学研究人员，以提高研究生率并减少培训时间。 5.） 通过为既定的技术词典做出贡献，改善所有D/HH生物医学研究人员的科学培训 用美国手语（ASL）的标志，并通过自由传播我们的方法和结果作为同伴 审查的文章。我们每年将招募3个新的D/HH学者，最多三年 T32资金，以保持该计划中的9 d/hh学者的稳态。当受训者离开T32资金时 并完成研究生学习，他们将建立更大的D/HH学校社区。总体而言，这个独特的T32 计划将使我们的学者拥有成功职业所需的知识和研究技能 进步。最终目标是我们的学者将获得更高的全日制学术任命 教育和/或研究机构减少为国家生物医学服务的D/HH教师的死亡 研究需求。
