DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Minnesota at Duluth will develop a pathway for students from underserved populations to enter research careers in Biomedical and Biobehavioral sciences. The Pathways Program will focus primarily on American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) students who express a desire to develop the skills to progress into doctoral level (Ph.D.) training. The Pathways program is also open to other underrepresented minorities, disabled and low-income students. Two program components will be established to provide training opportunities. Undergraduate students who are majoring in Biomedical/ Biobehavioral related disciplines participate during their junior and senior years. Undergraduate students will enter a two-year program beginning in the summer prior to their junior year, and complete their training upon graduation. The undergraduate program involves two 10-week long summer academies that provide both faculty-directed research experiences and supplemental scholastic training through a series of workshops. The students are assigned to faulty mentors who coach the trainees' development and research experiences. Secondly, graduate students will participate during their first and second years in their Ph.D. degree program. The graduate students are provided with academic and financial support during their pre-candidacy training in UMD graduate programs. Graduate programs include Integrated Biosciences Program (IBS), Biochemistry, Molecular Biology (BMBB), and Social and Administrative Pharmacy (SAPH) programs. Graduate students will be provided the opportunity to serve as peer mentors for undergraduate trainees through small group activities and learning communities. Special emphasis will be placed on ethical behavior with Responsible Conduct in Research Training and career coaching to prepare all Pathways trainees with the essential tools to thrive in the scientific professions. The programs will be jointly administered through the Medical School and the College of Pharmacy at the UMD campus.

描述（由申请人提供）：明尼苏达大学德卢斯大学将为来自服务不足人群的学生开发一条途径，以进入生物医学和生物行为科学的研究职业。途径计划将主要关注美洲/阿拉斯加本地人（AI/AN）学生，他们表示希望发展技能进入博士学位（博士）培训。该途径计划还向其他代表性不足的少数民族，残疾和低收入学生开放。将建立两个计划组件以提供培训机会。主修生物医学/生物行为相关学科的本科生在大三和大四的时候参加。本科生将从大三的夏天开始参加为期两年的课程，并在毕业后完成培训。本科课程涉及两个为期10周的长期夏季学院，通过一系列讲习班提供教师指导的研究经验和补充学术培训。学生被分配到有缺陷的导师，他们指导学员的发展和研究经验。其次，研究生将在他们的第一年和第二年参加博士学位。学位课程。在UMD研究生课程的固定培训期间，为研究生提供了学术和财政支持。研究生课程包括综合生物科学计划（IBS），生物化学，分子生物学（BMBB）以及社会和行政药房（SAPH）计划。研究生将有机会通过小组活动和学习社区作为本科学员的同伴导师。特别强调的是，在研究培训和职业教练中负责任的行为将放在道德行为上，以准备所有训练有素的训练者，并使用基本的工具来壮成长。这些计划将通过医学院和UMD校园的药学院共同管理。
