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）是严格的火车充耳不闻，听到听力（D/HH）博士学位（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。 这是一个重要的非金属需求编号：在生物医学科学中，D/HH社区的人数大大不足 学术劳动力。 专注于培训D/HH研究生。 就像在所有其他阶段支持D/HH学习者一样 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 机制将改善D/HH科学家的环境 D/HH学员的包容性沟通策略也可以自由传播我们的方法和结果 该提案成功实施了对D/HH STEM研究生的改进培训。 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 人口统计学 - 有依据的人 - 在生物医学研究中受到关键的基础。 完成我们的NIGMS资助的管道，以进行生物医学研究的D/HH培训，目前支持该研究 本科生，硕士学生和博士学位，但没有研究生学者。 对于任何研究强化研究所的D/HH个人。 通过机构的支持4.）促进保留，社会凝聚力和身份 D/HH研究生的生物医学研究人员可以改善毕业生并减少培训时间。 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。我们将招募3个新的D/HH学者珀斯 T32资金，在计划中保持9 d/hh学者的稳态。 并完成研究生学习，他们将为更大的D/HH学者社区提供。 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。 教育和/或研究机构，以减少为国家生物医学服务的D/HH教师的缺乏 研究需求。
