DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diverse racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities and/or having socially, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds are underrepresented in neuroscience. Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) recognizes that increasing the number of highly qualified neuroscientists from these underrepresented populations is integral to our future as an academic and research institution. Hunter College aims to increase the number of well-trained, diverse neuroscientists. The overall goal of this application is to develop a neuroscience training program at Hunter that will encourage and prepare students from diverse backgrounds to enter into and succeed in PhD programs in the neurosciences. To achieve this goal, Hunter has developed a research-educational partnership with four outstanding T32-awarded universities-New York University, Brown University, University of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University. This partnership will expose 12 BP-ENDURE-trainee students per year to a research-intensive curriculum and an environment of excellence and active research. Moreover, because of the diversity of the proposed mentors, students will be exposed to a broad spectrum of researchers, including basic neuroscientists interested in central nervous system (CNS) issues and applied neuroscientists from the areas of clinical, social, health, developmental, and cognitive neuropsychology. To achieve our goals, the following aims are proposed: (1) To develop an outstanding group of undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds dedicated to neuroscience research; (2) To provide scientific skill and research experiences to our trainees through research placement with actively funded neuroscientists; (3) To develop academic development and curriculum enhancement activities rooted in the student's research activities; (4) To maintain an effective Administrative Core to support our students' needs and development. Our measurable objectives during the requested funding period include: (1) attain 85 to 90% acceptance of trainees to graduate school programs in neuroscience; (2) improvement of our students in quantitative skills and academic achievements as well as their (3) scientific writing and oral presentations. Outcome from evaluations of the Steering Committee, the external evaluator, and the Administrative Core will guide future modifications to our training initiatives.

描述（由申请人提供）：不同的种族和族裔以及残疾人和/或具有社会，经济或教育上处于弱势背景的背景在神经科学中的代表性不足。纽约市城市大学猎人学院（CUNY）认识到，从这些代表性不足的人群中增加高素质的神经科学家的数量是我们作为学术和研究机构的未来不可或缺的。亨特学院的目标是增加训练有素，多样化的神经科学家的数量。该应用程序的总体目标是在亨特开发神经科学培训计划，该计划将鼓励和准备来自不同背景的学生进入神经科学的博士学位计划并取得成功。为了实现这一目标，亨特（Hunter）与四个杰出的T32授予大学 - 纽约大学，布朗大学，密歇根大学和范德比尔特大学建立了研究教育合作伙伴关系。该合作伙伴关系将每年将12个BP-Endure-Trainee学生揭露到研究密集的课程以及卓越和积极研究的环境中。此外，由于拟议的导师的多样性，学生将接触到广泛的研究人员，包括对中枢神经系统（CNS）问题感兴趣的基本神经科学家，以及来自临床，社会，健康，发展和认知神经心理学领域的应用神经科学家。为了实现我们的目标，提出了以下目标：（1）开发一群杰出的本科生，这些本科生具有不同的背景，致力于神经科学研究； （2）通过与积极资助的神经科学家的研究安置为学员提供科学技能和研究经验； （3）发展植根于学生研究活动的学术发展和课程增强活动； （4）保持有效的行政核心，以支持我们的学生的需求和发展。我们在要求的资金期内的可衡量目标包括：（1）获得85％至90％的学员接受神经科学研究生课程； （2）提高学生的定量技能和学术成就以及（3）科学写作和口头演讲。指导委员会，外部评估者和行政核心评估的结果将指导未来的修改我们的培训计划。
