项目摘要

We seek continued R25 funding for the Neuroscience Roadmap Scholars (RMS) Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Although the number of U.S. citizens from underrepresented minority (URM) groups earning doctoral degrees in science has increased over the past decade, URMs continue to represent a small proportion of the scientists in the United States. Our Neuroscience Roadmap Scholars Program targets the obstacles impeding success with the goal of increasing the number of trainees from diverse backgrounds in neuroscience research by providing them with the necessary tools and skills early in their PhD careers essential to making neuroscience research a life-long career choice. The specific “value added” components of the Program include the annual southeast regional NEURAL (National Enhancement of Under Represented Academic Leaders) summer conference for UAB students and neuroscience doctoral students from across the country, interactions with Career Coaches who provide support separate from the Scholar’s Research mentor, team building retreats, peer-to peer mentoring and undergraduate mentoring, and distinct curricular and extracurricular activities. With continued investment in Neuroscience at UAB by the School of Medicine and the Comprehensive Neuroscience Center, the future of the Neuroscience Roadmap Scholars Program is secure, and Scholars will benefit from the vibrant neuroscience environment that has attracted $96M in extramural funding. Success of the Program during the first award period is substantiated by the greater than expected enrollment and participation by underrepresented students training in neuroscience at UAB, the success in securing extramural fellowship awards by Scholars, and the 83% matriculation of graduates to postdoctoral fellowships compared to 67% of other biomedical science students. Goals for the next funding period are informed by this success, and input from Scholars, Career Coaches, and internal and external evaluation.

我们寻求在阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学（UAB）的神经科学路线图学者（RMS）计划的持续R25资金。尽管从代表性不足的少数民族（URM）群体中获得博士学位的美国公民人数有所增加，但在过去的十年中，URMS继续代表了美国的一小部分科学家。我们的神经科学路线图学者计划针对阻碍成功的障碍，目的是通过为神经科学研究的潜水员背景增加受训者的数量，通过为他们在其博士生职业的早期提供必要的工具和技能，这对于使神经科学研究成为终身职业生涯至关重要。该计划的具体“增值”组成部分包括向UAB学生和来自全国各地的UAB学生和神经科学博士学位学生举行的年度东南区域神经（全国性的代表性学术领导者）会议，与职业教练的互动，这些教练提供与学者的研究导师分开的支持，与学者的研究导师，团队建设，同伴对同伴到同伴到同伴的精神和差异性的精神和表现不佳和表现出色和表现出色，并且具有差异性的精神和差异。随着医学院和综合神经科学中心对UAB神经科学的持续投资，神经科学路线图学者计划的未来是安全的，学者将受益于充满活力的神经科学环境，该环境吸引了9600万美元的外壁外资金。该计划在第一个奖项期间的成功得到了超过预期的入学率和代表性不足的UAB神经科学培训的参与，与其他生物医学学生的67％相比，学者们获得了毕业生的校外研究金奖和83％的毕业生基质的成功。下一个融资期的目标是通过这一成功来告知的，学者，职业教练以及内部和外部评估的意见。
