PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This application is a five-year plan to create a Mid-Atlantic Neuroscience Diversity Scholars (MiNDS) program to bolster the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students within the neuroscience academic pipeline and build a foundation for URM students to succeed in graduate school and beyond. The program will comprise a partnership between Temple University, Lincoln University, and University of Maryland – all institutions with a strong commitment to educating URM students and a commitment to building neuroscience research. Our program will recruit 9 scholars per year and provide them with the tools necessary for persistence within academia focusing on 6 elements: (1) integrated research experiences during the academic year, (2) immersive summer research experiences at R1 universities, (3) opportunities to build presentation skills at local and national meetings, (4) coursework to build technical excellence in Neuroscience, (5) professional skills training and mentoring to facilitate the transition to Neuroscience graduate programs, and (6) outreach activities to foster community and build teaching skills. Scholars will participate in a 2-year bridge program during their last two years of undergraduate study. Students in our MiNDS program will be provided with a comprehensive research training experience, including financial support for academic year research at their home institution, travel funds to present their research both at the MiNDS retreat, and at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting, and stipend to engage in summer research at T32 funded institutions, Temple University or University of Maryland Baltimore, within the labs of faculty with exceptional behavioral or cognitive neuroscience research programs and extensive undergraduate mentoring experience. The program will provide MiNDS with a foundation of coursework and professional development to set the stage for the next step of their neuroscience research career. This will include one-on-one faculty mentoring in oral presentation skills, scientific writing, graduate school application review, and interview preparation. Additionally, students in MiNDS will be paired with senior graduate student mentors during this summer experience to gain further insight into the transition to PhD programs. The final core goal of the MiNDS initiative is to foster professional development of both students and mentors through community outreach. MiND scholars will team with faculty to develop outreach activities to engage 5th and 6th graders in neuroscience. These initiatives will position MiND scholars for success in a career in academic neuroscience research. To sure this success, the MiNDS program will be evaluated by our Advisory Board annually.

项目概要/摘要 该申请是创建中大西洋神经科学多样性学者 (MiNDS) 计划的五年计划 增加神经科学学术管道中代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生的数量 并为 URM 学生在研究生院及以后取得成功奠定基础。 包括坦普尔大学、林肯大学和马里兰大学之间的合作伙伴关系——所有 坚定致力于教育 URM 学生并致力于建立神经科学的机构 我们的项目每年将招募 9 名学者，并为他们提供开展研究所需的工具。 学术界的坚持，重点关注6个要素：（1）学术期间综合研究经验 年，(2) 在 R1 大学的沉浸式夏季研究体验，(3) 进行演示的机会 地方和国家会议上的技能，(4) 建立神经科学卓越技术的课程作业，(5) 专业技能培训和指导，以促进向神经科学研究生课程的过渡，以及（6） 学者们将参加为期两年的桥梁活动，以促进社区发展和培养教学技能。 我们将为参加我们的 MiNDS 项目的学生提供在本科学习最后两年的课程。 拥有全面的研究培训经验，包括对学年研究的财政支持 他们的母校、旅行基金在 MiNDS 静修会和社会学会上展示他们的研究 神经科学年会，并获得在 T32 资助机构 Temple 进行夏季研究的津贴 大学或马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校，实验室内的教师具有出色的行为或认知能力 该项目将提供神经科学研究项目和丰富的本科生指导经验。 为 MiNDS 提供课程作业和专业发展的基础，为下一步奠定基础 他们的神经科学研究生涯的一步将包括口头报告中的一对一教师指导。 技能、科学写作、研究生院申请审查和面试准备。 MiNDS 将在今年夏天与高级研究生导师配对，以进一步获得经验 MiNDS 计划的最终核心目标是培养专业人士。 MinD 学者将与教师合作，促进学生和导师的发展。 开展外展活动，吸引五年级和六年级学生参与神经科学。这些举措将定位。 MiND 学者在学术神经科学研究事业中取得成功 为了确保这一成功，MiNDS。 我们的顾问委员会每年都会对计划进行评估。
