DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a significant underrepresentation of biomedical and behavioral researchers (BBR) from minority and underserved communities. This disparity limits innovation and application of research to address needs of underserved communities. Youth from such communities often lack BBR role models and advocates, may not envision a BBR career, pursue BBR -learning opportunities, and develop the attitudes and skills needed to successfully pursue such a career. In an underserved community, this project aims to: 1) Refine the "Climbing Up and Reaching Back (CURB)" BBR scientist exposure, mentoring, and internship modules, student survey, and facilitator-administered process evaluation, 2) Conduct a qualitative examination of high school students' (a) education and career aspirations, (b) motivations (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy) for aspirations, (d) challenges related to aspirations, and (e) influences on aspirations from 10th through the 12th grade , 3) Examine the characteristics associated with high achieving high school students pursuing BBR, and 4) Assess whether a Patriots Technology Center (PTC) membership plus National Institute for General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) publications (PTC+NIGMS) condition is less likely than a PTC+NIGMS+CURB condition to facilitate motivation for a BBR career, as well as pursuit of a BBR college education. The University of Maryland Prevention Research Center, Maryland Institute for Minority Achievement and Urban Education, and the Patriots Technology Training Center have partnered to reach the study aims. After a program refinement study phase, eight high schools will be randomly assigned; four to the PTC+NIGMS ("control" and four to the PTC+NIGMS+CURB ("intervention') condition. High achieving 10th-grade student volunteers (60 from the intervention and 60 from control schools) will be surveyed at baseline and after six subsequent semester periods to assess motivation for BBR, and pursuit of a BBR college education. The intervention condition will offer CURB consisting of three components: 10th grade BBR career exposures, 11th grade college BBR mentoring, and 12th grade BBR internships. Intervention is aimed at Social Cognitive Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior motivations framed by the idea that BBR scientists can encourage graduate students to encourage undergraduate students to encourage high school students such that students up the BBR ladder support others to climb the BBR ladder. This model could be widely generalizable in community-university partnerships to help undeserved communities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will help to clarify the decision-making processes regarding college education and career choice of high achieving high school students in underserved communities. It will also pilot-test a model mentoring support system for preparing such students for biomedical/behavior research college education. The model is based on a University- Community Based Organization-High School partnership generalizable to other University-Community partnerships.

描述（由申请人提供）：来自少数群体和服务不足社区的生物医学和行为研究人员（BBR）的代表性不足。这种差异限制了创新和研究的应用来满足服务不足社区的需求。这些社区的青年通常缺乏BBR榜样和拥护者，可能不会设想BBR职业，寻求BBR学习机会，并发展成功从事此类职业所需的态度和技能。在一个服务不足的社区中，该项目的目的是：1）完善“攀爬并恢复（遏制）” BBR科学家的接触，指导和实习模块，调查以及协助者管理过程评估，2）进行定性研究高中生的定性检查（a）教育和职业质疑（a），（a），（a），（a），（a），（a），（b），（b），（b），（b），（b），（b），（b），（B）愿望，（d）与愿望有关的挑战，以及（e）对从10至12年级的愿望的影响，3）检查与追求BBR相关的高中生相关的特征，以及4）评估爱国者技术中心（PTC）成员（PTC）成员身份是否与国家医学科学（NIGMS）的情况（PTC+Nigms）的情况更易于+NIG+NIGM+NIG+NIG+NIGC+A PTC A PTC+nigc+A PT+A PT+A PT+A PT+a PT+a PT+a PT+a PT+a PTC是A PT。对于BBR职业，以及对BBR大学教育的追求。马里兰州预防研究中心，马里兰州少数民族成就与城市教育研究所以及爱国者技术培训中心已合作实现了该研究的目标。经过课程完善研究阶段，将随机分配八所高中； four to the PTC+NIGMS ("control" and four to the PTC+NIGMS+CURB ("intervention') condition. High achieving 10th-grade student volunteers (60 from the intervention and 60 from control schools) will be surveyed at baseline and after six subsequent semester periods to assess motivation for BBR, and pursuit of a BBR college education. The intervention condition will offer CURB consisting of three components: 10th grade BBR career曝光，11年级的BBR指导和12年级的BBR实习旨在进行社会认知理论和计划的行为动机理论，即BBR科学家可以鼓励研究生鼓励学生鼓励BBR Ladder的学生来攀登这个模型的人，以帮助他们开展社区。 公共卫生相关性：该项目将有助于阐明有关大学教育和职业选择的决策过程，从而在服务不足的社区中获得高中生。它还将试点测试模型指导支持系统，以准备为生物医学/行为研究大学教育做准备。该模型基于基于大学的组织最高学校合作伙伴关系，可推广到其他大学社区合作伙伴关系。
