DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The "Summer Multicultural Advanced Research Training" or SMART program at The University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) has existed since 1993 as part of its "Coordinated Plan to Increase Diversity in the Biomedical Sciences". The program provides underrepresented minorities and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds and with disabilities a 10-week summer research experience. SMART program trainees are recruited from our existing URM partner institutions as well as through attendance at undergraduate student science conferences. Prospective undergraduate applicants entering their sophomore or junior year are selected based on a GPA of 3.0 or greater and their indication of interest in pursuing a doctoral degree in biomedical sciences. "SMART trainees" participate in mentored research provided by UNTHSC faculty conducting funded research. Trainees also attend academic courses, study skill and survival workshops that expose and prepare them for entry and matriculation in graduate school. Trainees are provided stipend and room and board through this funding mechanism. To culminate the completion of their summer program, SMART trainees present their research in the form of a research poster competition followed by a Role Model Awards Banquet. In addition, SMART scholars are encouraged to submit an abstract of their research to be presented at a national on conference (SACNAS or ABCRMS). SMART trainees are also encouraged to apply for another year of summer research through the UNTHSC McNAIR Post-baccalaureate program as incoming juniors or seniors. In total, the expectation of this program is that 100% will complete their undergraduate degree and 80% will continue in doctoral degree programs. Thus, increasing the number and diversity of biomedical scientists. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）：自1993年以来，北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心（UNTHSC）的“夏季多元文化高级研究培训”或智能计划是其“增强生物医学科学多样性的协调计划”的一部分。该计划提供了代表性不足的少数群体和来自处境不利的背景和残疾人的个人为期10周的夏季研究经验。从我们现有的URM合作伙伴机构以及参加本科生科学会议的出席中，可以从我们现有的URM合作伙伴机构中招募智能计划受训者。基于3.0或更高的GPA，选择进入大二或大三年的潜在本科申请人，并表明他们攻读生物医学科学博士学位的兴趣。 “智能学员”参加了由UNTHSC教师进行资助研究的指导研究。学员还参加了学术课程，学习技能和生存研讨会，以揭露并准备入学和入学研究生院。通过这种资金机制为学员提供了津贴和房间和董事会。为了最终以夏季计划的完成，智能学员以研究海报竞赛的形式介绍了他们的研究，然后是榜样奖励宴会。此外，鼓励智能学者提交他们的研究摘要，将在国民会议上（SACNAS或ABCRMS）提出。还鼓励聪明的学员通过UNTHSC McNair后的麦克纳尔（UNTHSC McNair）后期申请夏季研究，作为即将到来的大三学生或老年人。总体而言，该计划的期望是100％将完成其本科学位，而80％的博士学位课程将继续进行。因此，增加了生物医学科学家的数量和多样性。 （抽象的结尾）
