项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY WSU's MIRA is an ESTEEMED Program that increases the diversity of the biomedical workforce by providing meritorious students from underrepresented and/or disadvantaged backgrounds with the tools and experience needed for success in college and as applicants to research-based graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. Increasing the diversity of the biomedical workforce is the first step in investigating health disparities across America and providing innovative, effective solutions. By adapting and adopting evidence-based practices and interventions in novel ways, MIRA will provide a supportive environment that will develop underrepresented undergraduate scholars' academic and research potential. Specifically this program gives students the skills, strategies, and cultural acumen to overcome systematic obstacles and flourish in the biomedical workforce. MIRA will achieve these outcomes by: 1. Building community through mentoring, motivation, monitoring, and advising. 2. Creating an environment of support and motivation that will socially integrate students into the WSU STEM community. 3. Facilitating academic integration with academic advising and an enriched curriculum in areas of professional development, science communication, and professional writing. 4. Increasing student research expertise and confidence as a scientist and professional. 5. Integrating students into the culture of biomedical research with research preparation courses, seminars, and workshops. 6. Enhancing the undergraduate research experience with attendance and presentations at local and national symposiums. 7. Increasing the number of underrepresented minority students engaged in a productive research experience. 8. Transitioning students to 3rd and 4th year research experiences in the Honors program. The WSU MIRA program will measure success using individual student progress in critical thinking, writing, and speaking skills, completion of advanced coursework in the sciences and engineering, the cultivation and practice of research skills, and the matriculation of MIRA scholars into doctoral-level programs in the biomedical sciences. The successful progression of MIRA scholars into biomedical careers represents a pathway for increased diversity of the biomedical workforce, and consequently for improved wellbeing of underserved communities.

项目摘要 WSU的Mira是一项尊敬的计划，通过提供生物医学劳动力的多样性来自代表性不足和/或处境不利的背景的有功学生，具有工具和经验在大学中取得成功的必要科学。增加生物医学劳动力的多样性是研究健康差异的第一步在整个美国，提供创新，有效的解决方案。通过适应和采用循证 Mira以新颖的方式进行实践和干预措施，将提供一个支持的环境代表性不足的本科学者的学术和研究潜力。具体而言，该程序给出了学生的技能，策略和文化敏锐度以克服系统的障碍并在生物医学劳动力。 Mira将通过： 1。通过指导，动力，监视和建议来建立社区。 2。创造一个支持和动力的环境，将学生纳入WSU STEM社区。 3。促进学术融合，并在学术咨询和丰富的课程中促进学术融合专业发展，科学沟通和专业写作。 4。作为科学家和专业人士的学生研究专业知识和信心增加。 5.将学生与研究准备课程，研讨会，研讨会，将学生纳入生物医学研究的文化和讲习班。 6。在本地和演讲中增强本科研究经验国家研讨会。 7。增加从事生产研究的人数不足的少数族裔学生的数量经验。 8。将学生过渡到荣誉计划中的第三年和第四年的研究经验。 WSU MIRA计划将使用学生在批判性思维，写作，以及口语技能，完成科学和工程学的高级课程，耕种和研究技能的实践以及将MIRA学者入学到博士学位课程中生物医学科学。 Mira学者成功地发展为生物医学职业代表增加生物医学劳动力多样性的途径，因此，服务不足的社区。
