项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY One major challenge facing the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) is its demographic homogeneity. This disparity is problematic both in clinical practice and in research. For researchers who are members of underrepresented minority groups (e.g., racial or ethnic minorities, individuals with a disability, individuals who are economically disadvantaged), the CSD-specific demographics are compounded with the challenges of being a minority in higher education, further isolating these individuals and raising barriers to success in the field. Having a diverse workforce is critical for a number of reasons, including ameliorating health disparities in research and treatment. The proposed research education program—Summer Health Academic Research Experience in Communication Sciences and Disorders (SHARE-CSD)—is a 6-week summer research experience for undergraduate students from backgrounds typically underrepresented in STEM and health fields. Program participants will engage in activities in three main areas: (i) research (depth and breadth components), (ii) academic and career preparation, and (iii) extensive mentoring from peers and faculty resulting in a robust social network. Social networks play an important role in the academic achievement of minoritized students, and in particular, networks that include other minoritized students can increase students’ sense of belonging. Taken together, these activities are expected to increase program participants’ academic and skills preparedness for research and clinical careers, and to support the diversity of the CSD pipeline. The program will undergo rigorous evaluation to assess its efficacy for program participants both short- and long-term.

项目摘要沟通科学和疾病领域面临的一个主要挑战（CSD）是其人群同质性。在临床实践和研究中，这种差异都是有问题的。对于那些代表性不足的少数群体（例如种族或少数民族，残疾人，在经济上处于不利地位的个人），CSD特定的人口统计学与在高等教育中成为少数派的挑战，进一步隔离这些人并提高障碍在该领域的成功。拥有潜水员的劳动力至关重要，原因有很多，包括改善研究和治疗中的健康分布。拟议的研究教育计划 - 夏季健康学术研究经验沟通科学和疾病（Share-CSD）是为期6周的夏季研究经验来自背景的本科生通常在STEM和健康领域的代表性不足。程序参与者将在三个主要领域进行活动：（i）研究（深度和广度组成部分），（ii）学术和职业准备，以及（iii）同龄人和教师的广泛心理社交网络。社交网络在少数学生的学术成就中起着重要的作用，特别是，包括其他少数学生的网络可以增强学生的归属感。综上所述，这些活动有望提高计划参与者的学术和技能准备研究和临床职业，并支持CSD管道的多样性。该程序将经过严格的评估，以评估其短期和长期参与者的有效性。
