The Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa has the goal to provide high quality research experiences in the biomedical sciences for undergraduate minority students. Students of the following ethnic identities are under- represented in Hawaii's health professions and at the university: Hawaiian or Part-Hawaiian, Filipino, Samoan and American Pacific Islander. These groups combined total 35% of the State population, but are severely under-represented at UHM totalling only 16% of the student body. Locally known as the Haumana (Hawaiian word for "Student") Biomedical Program, the program's approach is multidisciplinary, involving some 22 faculty from 10 science fields. A total of 27 undergraduate participants and three graduate assistants will have tow year research experiences on the grant. Students actively recruited will have an opportunity to choose from a wide variety of scientific research projects. Through the research lab experience and career guidance the program seeks to motivate a greater number of ethnic minorities to pursue careers in research. A second key factor in this process is the opportunity the program provides for the student to attend, and/or present scientific results at a mainland conference and to produce work for publication. Two enrichment courses will be offered during the second year, a course on "Issues and Skills for Success in a Biomedical Career" and a course on "Science Communication Skills". We will continue our successful MBRS campus exchange visit with UH Hilo MBRS program participants. Our program has had previous success obtaining University funds for those MBRS students who exhausted their MBRS salary allotments prior to the end of the program year, and we will seek similar resources in the new grant cycle. An innovation of this grant cycle includes the submission of four potential principal investigators to our program which has been designed as an associate investigator program for several grant cycles. This innovation is congruent with our second program goal to assist faculty at minority institutions in developing biomedical research capabilities, thereby enhancing the institutions potential to conduct biomedical research activities and to attract new funding sources. Such active laboratories provide inter alia high quality research opportunities for minority students.

大学的少数生物医学研究支持（MBRS）计划 马诺阿的夏威夷的目标是提供高质量的研究 本科生生物医学科学的经验 学生。 以下种族身份的学生不足 代表夏威夷的健康专业和大学： 夏威夷人或一部分夏威夷人，菲律宾，萨摩亚和美国太平洋 岛民。 这些群体总共占州人口的35％，但 在UHM中的代表性不足，总计只有16％的学生 身体。 当地被称为Haumana（夏威夷的“学生”一词） 生物医学计划，该计划的方法是多学科的， 涉及10个科学领域的大约22位教职员工。 总共27 本科参与者和三名研究生助理将有拖曳 一年的研究经验。 积极招募的学生将 有机会从各种科学研究中进行选择 项目。 通过研究实验室经验和职业指导 计划旨在激励更多的少数民族追求 研究职业。 此过程的第二个关键因素是 该计划为学生提供的机会参加和/或 在大陆会议上提出科学结果并进行工作 出版。 在此期间将提供两个丰富课程 第二年，关于生物医学成功的问题和技能的课程 职业”和“科学沟通技巧”课程。我们将继续 我们成功与UH Hilo MBR计划的MBRS校园交流访问 参与者。 我们的计划以前取得了大学的成功 为那些用尽其MBR薪水分配的MBRS学生的资金 在计划年度结束之前，我们将寻求类似的资源 在新的赠款周期中。 这个赠款周期的创新包括 提交四名潜在的主要调查员参加我们的计划 已设计为几项赠款的副研究员计划 周期。 这项创新与我们的第二个计划目标一致 协助少数族裔机构的教师开发生物医学研究 功能，从而增强了机构的潜力 生物医学研究活动并吸引新的资金来源。 这样的 活跃的实验室还提供高质量研究 少数民族学生的机会。
