Project Summary Historically in the U.S., students from underrepresented backgrounds earn a disproportionately smaller percentage of doctoral degrees in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences, compared to students from majority backgrounds. The low numbers of racial and ethnic minorities in biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences graduate educational programs and, in turn, the workforce has profound implications for science. Because “minorities” will become the majority of the U.S. population by 2050, a more diverse doctoral prepared workforce is even more critical; thus, it is imperative to develop innovative programs to recruit students from underrepresented backgrounds to pre-doctoral academic programs. Long-term, the proposed “Improving Access to Research and Training” (IMPACT) program is an interdisciplinary collaboration aimed at increasing the diversity of the research workforce that addresses cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disordered conditions by: (1) Providing a mentored research experience to undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds, matched to the scholar’s area of interest, with the goal of providing early exposure to research programs with a cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disorder focus; and (2) Transitioning the IMPACT scholars into graduate school programs to enhance the diversity of the doctoral prepared workforce in biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences. The IMPACT program will be an annual 8-week research intensive summer program in the Penn State College of Nursing (CON) and College of Health and Human Development (CHHD). The IMPACT program is designed to inspire cohorts of 10 undergraduate students (5 undergraduate and 5 health professional) from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, as well as students from inhibited educational backgrounds, to pursue a career as a research scientist. In addition to immersion into a funded program of faculty-mentored research, the scholars will attend seminars, complete assignments, and acquire professional development skills necessary to complete a competitive pre-doctoral application. The long-term objective of the program is to increase the number of future PhD level scientists from underrepresented backgrounds who pursue a successful research career, therefore increasing the diversity of the research workforce addressing cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disordered conditions. Our expectation is that the greater diversity of the workforce will impact both policy and practice and, in turn, potentially reduce health disparities in those conditions through education and research.

项目摘要 从历史上看，在美国，来自代表性不足的学生的收入不成比例较小 与生物医学，行为，临床和社会科学中博士学位的百分比相比 来自多数背景的学生。在生物医学，行为方面的种族和少数民族数量少 临床和社会科学研究生教育课程，而劳动力又有深刻的 对科学的影响。因为到2050年，“少数族裔”将成为美国的大多数人口，所以 潜水博士准备的劳动力更为关键。因此，必须制定创新计划 招募来自代表性不足的学生到博士前学术课程的学生。长期， 拟议的“改善研究和培训的访问”（影响）计划是跨学科的合作 旨在增加研究劳动力的多样性，以解决心血管，肺部， 血液学或睡眠无序条件通过：（1）为心理研究经验提供 来自传统上代表性不足的背景的本科生与科学领域相匹配 兴趣，目的是通过心血管，肺部早期接触研究计划 血液学或睡眠障碍聚焦； （2）将影响学者过渡到研究生院 为增强生物医学，行为，临床和 社会科学。 Impact计划将是一年一度的为期8周的研究密集夏季计划 宾夕法尼亚州立护理学院（CON）和卫生与人类发展学院（CHHD）。影响 计划旨在激发10名本科生（5个本科生和5个健康状况）的人群 专业）来自代表性不足的种族和族裔，以及受抑制教育的学生 背景，从事研究科学家的职业。除了沉浸在一项资金的计划中 学者的教职员工研究将参加半手，完成专业人士，并获得专业人士 完成竞争性博士前应用所需的开发技能。长期目标 计划是从代表性不足的背景中增加未来博士学位的科学家的数量 从事成功的研究职业，因此增加了研究工作人员的多样性 心血管，肺，血液学或睡眠无序条件。我们的期望是更大 劳动力的多样性将影响政策和实践，进而可能降低健康差异 在这些条件下，通过教育和研究。
