Project Summary: Black, Latino, and Native American students fall far behind their White and Asian counterparts in representation within science employment and academic programs. This disparity is especially noticeable within the ethnically-diverse California Bay Area that is rich in biomedical and engineering opportunities. Similar to other parts of the country, students of color are consistently underrepresented. For example, in 2013, 11% of the U.S. workforce was Black but only 6% of those employed in science jobs were Black. In comparison, White and Asians are 3-times more likely to be employed in science jobs compared to the domestic workforce. Despite decades of legislation and policy changes, these statistics have changed minimally over 30 years. Since its founding, Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) has set addressing these disparities in our community as a mission objective. To that end, CHORI created a Summer Student Research Program (SSRP) nearly four decades ago to promote diversity in biomedical training by providing a short-term, one-on-one mentored research experience to underrepresented students with potential to significantly contribute to a culturally-representative scientific research workforce. For 38 years, we have secured uninterrupted funding to develop this program while continuing to expand and improve by adding training and experiences that will appeal to the modern student. The next innovation we call STIMULUS – Science & Technology IMmersion for Underrepresented Learners in the US – seeks to utilize the R25 mechanism to support 18 undergraduate or health professional students each year for the next five years. With STIMULUS, the existing program infrastructure will be upgraded to strengthen our curriculum to better match the diversity of the students and evolving needs of the scientific marketplace. This multi-faceted proposal provides many enhancements, including a new collaboration with the University of California Berkeley, School of Bioengineering, more comprehensive training workshops, expanded recruiting from regional pipeline programs and historically black colleges, formalized program for near-peer mentoring, enhanced alumni tracking and evaluation, and an innovative case-based approach for bioethics education. We expect these program enhancements will allow us to reach more under-represented students and have a longer-lasting impact on the selected students to pursue a career in biomedical or clinical research by stimulating their interest, arming them with practical professional development skills, and increasing their confidence in science, thereby improving their likelihood of success in the Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) workforce.

项目概要： 黑人、拉丁裔和美洲原住民学生在这方面远远落后于白人和亚裔学生 这种差异在科学就业和学术项目中尤为明显。 位于种族多元化的加州湾区，拥有丰富的生物医学和工程机会。 与该国其他地区类似，有色人种学生的代表性始终不足。例如，2013 年， 11% 的美国劳动力是黑人，但从事科学工作的人中只有 6% 是黑人。 相比之下，白人和亚洲人从事科学工作的可能性是白人和亚洲人的三倍 尽管几十年来立法和政策发生了变化，但这些统计数据已经发生了变化。 奥克兰儿童医院研究所 (CHORI) 自成立以来至少 30 多年。 为此，CHORI 创建了一个夏季活动，以解决我们社区中的这些差异作为使命目标。 近四十年前的学生研究计划（SSRP）旨在促进生物医学培训的多样性 为有潜力的代表性不足的学生提供短期、一对一的指导研究经验 38 年来，我们一直致力于为具有文化代表性的科研队伍做出重大贡献。 确保不间断的资金来开发该计划，同时通过添加继续扩展和改进 我们称之为“刺激”的下一个创新是吸引现代学生的培训和经验。 针对美国代表性不足的学习者的科学与技术浸入式课程 – 寻求利用 R25 未来五年每年支持 18 名本科生或卫生专业学生的机制。 STIMULUS，现有的项目基础设施将进行升级，以加强我们的课程，以更好地匹配 学生的多样性和科学市场不断变化的需求。 提供了许多增强功能，包括与加州大学伯克利分校的新合作，学校 生物工程、更全面的培训研讨会、从区域渠道扩大招聘 计划和历史悠久的黑人大学、近同伴指导的正式计划、增强的校友 我们期望这些是跟踪和评估，以及基于案例的创新方法。 计划的改进将使我们能够接触到更多代表性不足的学生，并拥有更持久的 通过激发他们的兴趣，对选定的学生从事生物医学或临床研究职业产生影响 兴趣，为他们提供实用的专业发展技能，并增强他们对科学的信心， 从而提高他们在科学技术工程数学 (STEM) 队伍中取得成功的可能性。
