ABSTRACT The Dynamic Experiences in Neuroscience to Diversify Research Internship Training Exposures for Students (DENDRITES) Program aims to encourage and support the research and career development of underrepresented minorities (URM) students interested in basic, clinical, and translational neuroscience. The DENDRITES Program will accomplish this by executing three specific aims. The first aim is to expose undergraduate students to an intensive nine-week mentored summer research experience by pairing students with an experienced scientific mentor that will introduce students to robust and rigorous research experiences. The goal is for URM undergraduate students to get hands-on research experience which will expose them to cutting-edge neuroscience research and solidify the students’ commitment to research careers. The second aim is to leverage the Leadership Alliance Summer Research – Early Identification Program (SR-EIP) at UChicago to facilitate the transition to graduate programs. To accomplish this aim, we will collaborate with the SR-EIP to offer professional development workshops which will improve DENDRITES participants’ skills and qualifications to make them competitive candidates when applying for graduate school. In addition, we have created unique activities for DENDRITES participants such as cluster groups meetings and a seminar series led by graduate students. These activities will provide educational resources and experiences which visiting URM students would otherwise not receive at their home institutions. Finally, by collaborating with the University of Chicago SR-EIP program DENDRITES participants will be able to attend the Leadership Alliance National Symposium which will allow students to present and disseminate their summer research. The third aim is to recruit students historically underrepresented in academia to diversify the neuroscience workforce. By familiarizing students with UChicago, its opportunities, and its faculty members, our program will facilitate students’ later application and potential acceptance into highly-competitive graduate schools. Overall, the long- term goal of the DENDRITES Program is to diversify the neuroscience workforce by creating a strong pipeline of young neuroscience researchers who can make significant contributions to neuroscience discoveries.

抽象的 神经科学的动态经验使学生的研究实习培训机会多样化 （DENDRITES）计划旨在鼓励和支持以下人员的研究和职业发展 对基础、临床和转化神经科学感兴趣的少数族裔 (URM) 学生。 DENDRITES 计划将通过执行三个具体目标来实现这一目标。第一个目标是揭露。 本科生通过结对学生获得为期九周的强化暑期研究体验 经验丰富的科学导师将向学生介绍稳健而严谨的研究经验。 目标是让 URM 本科生获得实践研究经验，让他们接触到 尖端的神经科学研究并巩固学生对研究事业的承诺。 目标是利用领导力联盟夏季研究 - 早期识别计划（SR-EIP） 为了促进向研究生课程的过渡，我们将与芝加哥大学合作。 SR-EIP 将提供专业发展研讨会，以提高 DENDRITES 参与者的技能和 此外，我们还拥有使他们成为申请研究生院时具有竞争力的候选人的资格。 为 DENDRITES 参与者举办了独特的活动，例如集群会议和研讨会系列 这些活动将由研究生领导，提供访问的教育资源和经验。 最后，通过与大学合作，URM 学生将无法在其所在院校获得资助。 芝加哥大学 SR-EIP 项目 DENDRITES 参与者将能够参加领导力联盟 全国研讨会将允许学生展示和传播他们的夏季研究成果。 目的是招募历史上在学术界代表性不足的学生，以使神经科学劳动力多样化。 让学生熟悉芝加哥大学、它的机会和它的教职人员，我们的项目将促进 总体而言，长期的影响是学生以后的申请和进入竞争激烈的研究生院的可能性。 DENDRITES 计划的长期目标是通过创建强大的管道来实现神经科学劳动力的多元化 可以为神经科学发现做出重大贡献的年轻神经科学研究人员。
