项目摘要

Project Summary: In this project we seek to stimulate talented undergraduate students from Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black College/Universities, Minority Serving Institutions, and other colleges with high populations of disadvantaged students, women and veterans. We propose to provide a ten-week research experience in the neurosciences with a focus on Pain, Addiction, mild Traumatic Brain Injury, and other Neurodegenerative Diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Students will work in affinity research groups in a supportive and challenging environment on real world problems designed to inspire, and provide enhanced neuroscience training with the goal of retaining these students in a STEM pipeline to diversify the NIH workforce. This grant will support a student population of approximately 50 percent female and at least 50 percent underrepresented minority students. With the integration of Tinto’s model, our work on core competences, and our track record of excellence in mentoring we propose a near 100 percent retention rate of these students in their fields of study.

项目摘要：在这个项目中，我们试图刺激来自西班牙裔服务机构的才华横溢的本科生，历史上黑人学院/大学，少数民族服务机构以及其他人口众多的大学不利的学生，妇女和退伍军人。我们建议在神经科学专注于疼痛，成瘾，轻度创伤性脑损伤和其他神经退行性阿尔茨海默氏病和帕金森氏病等疾病。学生将在亲和力研究小组中工作支持和挑战环境对旨在激发灵感并提供增强的现实世界问题神经科学培训的目标是将这些学生保留在STEM管道中，以使NIH劳动力多样化。该赠款将支持大约50％的女性和至少50％的学生人数代表性不足的少数民族学生。随着Tinto模型的整合，我们在核心能力上的工作以及我们在心理方面的卓越成就记录，我们建议这些学生的保留率接近100％他们的研究领域。
