The overarching goal of the Student Training Core is to develop a multi-tiered program that would recruit students from within the current Xavier population and provide them with the research training necessary for admission and success in graduate school. Aim 1: Increase the number of Xavier students who are actively considering biomedical research careers, through career education. Level 1 of the BUILD student training program seeks to educate all STEM majors about career options that students may not know about or have never considered for themselves, to include graduate school and research-oriented careers. Career aptitude assessment will also take place. Aim 2: Increase the number of Xavier students who participate in research training activities. A key element in Level 2 is student-led discussion groups, where more advanced students will guide participants to research and discuss popular literature on STEM-oriented topics such as the effect of hydraulic fracking on groundwater and concerns about the toxicity of bisphenol A (BPA) in plastics. Also in Level 2, a series of research-oriented seminars are presented to all interested STEM majors. These events will include more focused information on research careers, and will help students obtain skills needed by researchers. Aim 3: Increase the number of Xavier students who have the opportunity to carry out independent research projects. This aim contributes to the overall goal of involving more students in meaningful, engaging undergraduate research experiences. Students who have shown active engagement in Level 2 discussion groups and have strong faculty recommendations will be designated as NIH BUILD Scholars. These Level 3 students will participate in independent research projects with faculty and student mentors, both at Xavier and at partner institutions as part of the relationship established through the Overall Program Aims. These students will receive scholarships, and will be expected to present their work at scientific conferences. NIH BUILD Scholars are highly encouraged to apply to graduate schools in biomedical fields.

学生培训核心的总体目标是制定一个多层计划，以招募 来自当前Xavier人口的学生，为他们提供必要的研究培训 入学和成功研究生院。目标1：增加积极的Xavier学生人数 通过职业教育考虑生物医学研究职业。建筑学生培训的1级 计划旨在教育所有STEM专业有关学生可能不知道或拥有的职业选择 从来没有考虑过，包括研究生院和面向研究的职业。职业能力 评估也将进行。目标2：增加参加研究的Xavier学生的数量 培训活动。第二级的关键要素是学生主导的讨论小组，其中更多的高级学生 将指导参与者研究和讨论有关词干主题的流行文献，例如效果 在地下水上的液压压裂以及对塑料中双酚A（BPA）的毒性的担忧。也在 第2级，向所有感兴趣的STEM专业提出了一系列面向研究的研讨会。这些事件 将包括有关研究职业的更多重点信息，并将帮助学生获得所需的技能 研究人员。目标3：增加有机会执行的Xavier学生人数 独立研究项目。这个目标有助于使更多学生参与的总体目标 有意义的，吸引人的本科研究经验。表现出积极参与的学生 在第2级讨论小组中，有强有力的教师建议将被指定为NIH建造 学者。这些级别的3级学生将与教职员工一起参加独立的研究项目 在Xavier和合作伙伴机构的导师，作为通过整体建立关系的一部分 计划的目标。这些学生将获得奖学金，并有望在 科学会议。强烈鼓励NIH建造学者申请 生物医学领域。
