Summary To compete in today's global, high-tech economy, we are becoming more dependent on workers and leaders prepared in STEM fields; however, national studies indicate that too few American students have the requisite knowledge and skills in science and mathematics to participate fully in today's economy. We are falling behind in the global race for human capital development. The United States trails sixteen countries in Europe and Asia in the proportion of each country's college population who earn degrees in science and engineering (PCAST, 2010). This proposal seeks funding to support The Scripps Research Institute's Health-Related Research Experiences for Undergraduates (H-REU Program) - a program that creates a dynamic and stimulating educational and research environment, provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in a laboratory, and inspires them to choose STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers. The specific aims of the program parallel the goals articulated in the NHLBI Short-Term Research Education Program to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Research (R25) announcement. We seek to: (1) develop a partnership with schools and organizations that target underrepresented and underserved students; (2) increase the number of students who consider careers in the biomedical research field; (2) provide research opportunities in cutting-edge health-related laboratories and mentoring opportunities with world-renowned scientists; and (3) increase the interns' proficiency in communicating scientific concepts and comfort level in the laboratory setting. The H-REU Program offers its participants an academic structure that integrates hands-on laboratory research with professional skills development and mentoring. The program consists of a ten-week enriched summer research experience and a mentorship with Scripps Research faculty and scientists. Each of the major program components, curriculum and professional development workshops and research experiences is made up of several elements that work together and provide a stepwise, scaffolding approach to improving interns' critical thinking skills, scientific preparation, knowledge base, and research expertise. By providing this experience, we hope to create a feeder pipeline and encourage the most talented students to pursue careers in biomedical research; however, those who do not become researchers will benefit by applying learned perspectives and honed professional skills to their future educational endeavors. Given its importance, STEM literacy must be a part of the educational foundation of all students no matter their future educational endeavors.

概括 为了在当今的全球高科技经济中竞争，我们越来越依赖工人和 STEM 领域的领导者；然而，全国研究表明，很少有美国学生 充分参与当今经济所需的科学和数学知识和技能。我们 在全球人力资本开发竞赛中落后。美国落后十六强 欧洲和亚洲国家中获得学位的大学人口比例 科学与工程（PCAST​​，2010）。 该提案寻求资金支持斯克里普斯研究所的健康相关研究 本科生体验（H-REU 计划）——一个创造充满活力和刺激的计划 教育和研究环境，为本科生提供进行研究的机会 实验室的前沿研究，并激励他们选择STEM（科学、技术、工程 和数学）职业。该计划的具体目标与 NHLBI 中阐述的目标一致 增加健康相关研究多样性的短期研究教育计划 (R25) 公告。我们寻求：(1) 与学校和组织建立伙伴关系， 代表性不足和服务不足的学生； (2) 增加考虑就业的学生数量 生物医学研究领域； (2) 提供尖端健康相关实验室的研究机会 与世界知名科学家的指导机会； (3) 提高实习生的熟练程度 在实验室环境中传达科学概念和舒适度。 H-REU 项目为参与者提供了一个整合实践实验室的学术结构 研究与专业技能发展和指导。该计划包括为期十周的丰富 暑期研究经验以及斯克里普斯研究学院教师和科学家的指导。每个 主要课程组成部分、课程和专业发展讲习班和研究 体验由多个元素组成，这些元素协同工作并提供逐步的脚手架 提高实习生批判性思维技能、科学准备、知识基础和研究的方法 专业知识。通过提供这种经验，我们希望创建一条支线管道并鼓励最 有才华的学生从事生物医学研究；然而，那些没有成为 研究人员将通过将学到的观点和磨练的专业技能应用于他们的未来而受益 教育事业。鉴于其重要性，STEM 素养必须成为教育基础的一部分 所有学生，无论他们未来的教育事业如何。
