 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Preventive Medicine of Mount Sinai School of Medicine proposes to continue and expand the existing Short-term Research Training Program for Minority Students. The goal of the Program is to nurture minority students' interests in science and medicine by enhancing their research capacity in a way that supports multidisciplinary education and long-term engagement with mentors. The proposed program will continue to build on experience gained with existing programs that have already been very successful in providing research training, offered career mentoring and guided many participating students towards achieving their professional goals. It will significantly increase te number of minority students from four per year to an average of ten per year, most of whom will receive 24 weeks of training, double the previous training period. The current proposal builds on the most effective features of the program. First, the program is multidisciplinary. Rather than selecting mentors and projects within a particular scientific discipline, the program draws from a very diverse mentor pool. The program includes mentors with expertise in community- based research, epidemiology, public health, global health, occupational health and others. This allows for students with interests ranging from molecular biology to population health to be included in the program. Second, the program has strong institutional support. It was originally founded in 1995 and has been continuously funded since then (first by NIEHS, then by NHLBI), a testament to the dedication and commitment of the participating faculty and the program director, who has directed the program for 19 years. Third, the program sits within a portfolio of other educational programs at Mount Sinai that exposes students to a wealth of opportunities and career options. Finally, the program has provided long-term follow-up of student participants, creating a sense of community among trained minority students, an important connection as students continue to grow in their career paths. This continuity is reassuring as students develop in a professional environment in which people of color are still vastly underrepresented. The program has continued to evolve since its inception. In order to expand and grow, it has developed the following Specific Aims: 1) To select, train and nurture a cadre of underrepresented minority students and to motivate and support them in their professional development. 2) To provide students who participate in the program with long-term mentoring and guidance throughout the length of their careers. It is expected that a minimum of 50 students will have received research training at the completion of this funding cycle, bringing the total number of alumni of the program to 119. A plan for long-term follow-up and strong evaluation strategies will continue to be incorporated in order to support underrepresented minority scientists at all stages in their career development.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：西奈山医学学院预防医学系提案，旨在继续和扩大针对少数族裔学生的现有短期研究培训计划。该计划的目的是通过以支持多学科教育和长期与导师的长期参与的方式来增强其研究能力，以培养少数群体学生对科学和医学的兴趣。拟议的计划将继续以现有计划在提供研究培训方面非常成功的现有计划的经验，提供职业指导，并指导许多参与的学生实现其职业目标。它将显着将TE少数族裔学生的数量从每年的四名学生增加到平均每年10个，其​​中大多数将接受24周的培训，这是上一个培训期的两倍。当前的建议基于该计划的最有效功能。首先，该计划是多学科的。该计划不是在特定的科学学科中选择导师和项目，而是从一个非常多样化的导师库中汲取灵感。该计划包括具有社区研究，流行病学，公共卫生，全球健康，职业健康等方面具有专业知识的导师。这允许有兴趣的学生包括分子生物学到人群健康。其次，该计划具有强大的机构支持。它最初成立于1995年，自那时以来一直由不断资助（首先是Niehs，然后由NHLBI），这证明了参与教职员工的奉献和承诺和计划主任，他们指导了该计划已有19年了。第三，该计划位于西奈山其他教育计划的投资组合中，该计划使学生接触了很多机会和职业选择。最后，该计划为学生参与者提供了长期的随访，在训练有素的少数族裔学生中营造了一种社区感，随着学生在职业道路上的不断发展，这是一种重要的联系。随着学生在专业环境中发展，有色人种的人数仍然大大不足，这种连续性令人放心。该计划自成立以来一直在发展。为了扩展和发展，它已经开发出以下具体目标：1）选择，培训和护理一群人为代表性不足的少数族裔学生的干部，并激励和支持他们的职业发展。 2）为参加该计划的学生提供长期的心理和指导。预计至少有50名学生将在此资助周期完成时接受研究培训，从而带来 该计划的校友总数为119。将继续纳入长期随访和强大评估策略的计划，以支持其职业发展各个阶段的代表性不足的少数群体科学家。 （抽象的结尾）
