项目摘要

Individuals from diverse backgrounds are under-represented in biomedical and behavioral sciences. While the underpinnings of this are complex, the problem has been perpetuated in no small part due to major limitations in the "pipeline" of trainees from diverse backgrounds. As a reflection of our commitment to this issue, the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine has been running an NHLBI-funded T35 program for under-represented minority students for the past five years. We wish to build on this foundation, and sustain this initiative, through the current R25 mechanism. Our program was developed on the premise that the principal barrier to diversity in science is not a lack of talent, but rather a lack of opportunity. The program was built around an intensive research experience with an individual mentor, complemented by activities important to building communication and networking skills, such as making presentations in journal club or at a closing poster session, as well as seminars that describe issues relevant to career-building in biomedical sciences. To date we have trained 85 students in our program. Of the 63 students in our program eligible for medical or graduate school, 42 (67%) have been accepted. In addition, 2 students were accepted into post-baccalaureate programs and 5 are working full time in research labs. In pursuing funding through this R25 program, we have three principal goals. The first is to provide a high quality scientific experience to students of diverse backgrounds as a means of exposing them to, and persuading them of, the excitement of careers in biomedical sciences. The second goal is to provide students exposure to activities that will enhance their chances for success in biomedical careers, such as organizing material for presentations and seminars on the mentee-mentor relationship. Finally we hope to facilitate development of a network for contacts and information that will help these individuals surmount historical issues of access that have limited entry and success. Through our participation in the prior T25 program, we have demonstrated our commitment to enhancing diversity in the biomedical sciences. We look forward to extending this commitment through the current R25 mechanism.

来自不同背景的个人在生物医学和行为科学中的代表性不足。尽管它的基础很复杂，由于重大，问题在很大程度上已经存在来自不同背景的学员的“管道”的限制。为了反映我们对此的承诺问题，肺和重症监护医学部一直在运营NHLBI资助的T35 过去五年来，代表性不足的少数族裔学生计划。我们希望以这个基础为基础并通过当前的R25机制来维持这一倡议。我们的计划是在前提上开发的科学多元化的主要障碍不是缺乏才能，而是缺乏机会。这计划是围绕与个人导师进行密集的研究经验建立的，并得到了补充对于建立沟通和网络技能至关重要的活动，例如在期刊上进行演示俱乐部或截止海报会议，以及描述与职业建设有关的问题的研讨会生物医学科学。迄今为止，我们已经在计划中培训了85名学生。在我们的63名学生中有资格获得医学或研究生院的计划，已接受42（67％）。此外，有2名学生在研究实验室中，接受了后王计划和5个课程。追求资金通过这个R25计划，我们有三个主要目标。首先是提供高质量的科学对背景的学生的经验，以此作为使他们暴露并说服他们的一种手段生物医学科学的职业兴奋。第二个目标是使学生接触活动这将增加他们在生物医学职业中成功的机会，例如组织材料演讲和有关指导者关系的研讨会。最后，我们希望促进发展一个联系和信息网络，可以帮助这些人克服访问的历史问题进入和成功有限。通过参加先前的T25计划，我们有证明了我们致力于增强生物医学科学多样性的承诺。我们期待通过当前的R25机制扩展了这一承诺。
