 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application would create a BP-ENDURE program in St. Louis for undergraduate students pursuing training in the neurosciences. The objective of the grant is to provide rigorous and critical training in neuroscience to a diverse cohort of students from three partner institutions (Washington University, the University of Missouri-St. Louis and Harris-Stowe State University). By providing support for 10 funded positions for summer research, this proposal will establish a Pipeline to graduate school. The Pipeline emphasizes sustained training in oral and written science communication, discovery science and outreach experience. Specifically, this proposal will support 10 early-stage trainees annually for up to three years each. Our Pipeline has long-standing commitments to cutting-edge research, to interdisciplinary education, and to providing modern career development. We seek to be a Program that responds to changes in the research environment by helping our students to pursue important and innovative problems and concepts, to adopt new techniques and to communicate effectively with their peers and the general public. The proposal will allow for the addition of three interactive and immersive courses that will appeal to teens and create a community of young scientists who can begin as early as the summer after their freshman year. The curriculum and research environments will remain broad and deep, combining expertise in molecular, cellular and systems-level approaches to the study of neural function and dysfunction. The Program will recruit and retain talented, diverse students through innovative and dedicated coordination with the University and partner schools and be evaluated formally by a Board of Directors and an external assessor. Major new initiatives aimed at accomplishing these goals include: 1) the establishment of a new network of research opportunities for undergraduates interested in the neurosciences, 2) the introduction of three interactive courses (The Teen Brain, Neuroscience Futures, and Skills for a Neuroscientist) to bolster neuroscience fundamentals and a sense of community among the students, 3) enhanced involvement of the undergraduates in the Society for Neuroscience Brain Bee as part of their training in science communication, and 4) refinement of a near peer-mentoring program that has graduate students working with undergraduates and undergraduates working with high school students. These initiatives will ensure our students remain at the forefront of developments in neuroscience research, teaching and outreach.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：此应用程序将在圣路易斯创建一个BP-endure计划，以供接受神经科学培训的本科生。赠款的目的是为来自三个合作伙伴机构（华盛顿大学，密苏里大学路易斯大学和哈里斯·斯托夫州立大学）的多样化学生提供严格而批判性的培训。通过为夏季研究的10个资助职位提供支持，该建议将建立研究生院的管道。该管道强调了在口头和书面科学传播，发现科学和外展经验方面的持续培训。具体来说，该提案将每年为10名早期学员提供最多三年的早期学员。我们的管道长期以来对尖端研究，跨学科教育以及提供现代职业发展的承诺。我们试图成为一个计划，通过帮助学生购买重要和创新的问题和概念，采用新技术并与同龄人和公众进行有效沟通，以应对研究环境的变化。该提案将允许增加三个互动和身临其境的课程，这些课程将出现在青少年中，并创建一个年轻科学家的社区，他们可以在大一新生后的夏天开始。课程和研究环境将保持广泛而深层的范围，结合了分子，细胞和系统级别方法的专业知识，用于研究神经功能和功能障碍。该计划将通过与大学和合作伙伴学校的创新和专门的协调来招募和保留有才华的，多样化的学生，并由董事会和外部评估员正式评估。旨在完成这些目标的主要新举措包括：1）建立了对神经科学感兴趣的本科生的新的研究机会，2）引入三个互动课程（青少年大脑，神经科学的未来，神经科学家的技能和神经科学家的技能，促进神经科学主义者），以增强学生的社区体系，并增强学生的社区体系，3）蜜蜂作为他们在科学传播方面的培训的一部分，以及4）一项近乎同伴的课程的完善，该计划使研究生与本科生和高中生一起工作。这些举措将确保我们的学生保持神经科学研究，教学和外展的发展。
