PROJECT SUMMARY The US population is becoming more diverse. However, the clinical and translational scientific and professional workforce is not representative of the US population and the underrepresentation of individuals from diverse backgrounds in the biomedical workforce hinders scientific discovery and adversely impacts the health of our nation. The NIH has already made substantial investments in research education programs. However, the predominant focus of the majority of NIH supported workforce development programs has narrowly focused on cultivating the next generation of doctorally prepared clinical and translational scientists with minimal attention to the need for a more inclusive biomedical sciences workforce that also includes underrepresented racial minorities (URMs) as scientists as well as research professionals who are critical to the production of clinical and translational science (CTS). To address the need for greater diversity in the CTS workforce, the proposed program, Intensive Summer Education Program in Translation Research for Underrepresented Students (INSPIRE-US), entails research education activities that align with the mission of the NIH and Case Western Reserve University. The proposed program, INSPIRE-US, builds on the institutional commitments of the University and the Cleveland Translational Science Collaborative, as well as the experience of the MPIs, an external advisory board, and program faculty who have led similar research education programs and understand the distinct learning and socioemotional needs of URM undergraduates interested in careers related to CTS. The INSPIRE-US program is conceptualized as a 10-week research education program that is tailored to the distinct needs of URM undergraduates. Across the five years of this program, the program leadership aim to recruit 25 program participants. The specific aims for this application are: (1) Recruit diverse and talented undergraduates through evidence-informed strategies and collaborative institutional partnerships with 9 historically black colleges and universities and surrounding community colleges; (2) Implement a theory-informed curriculum with complementary program activities that fosters community building and social support, hands on research experiences across the clinical and translational science continuum, didactic instruction and micro- credentialing focused on the fundamental concepts of clinical and translational science, and mentoring and career coaching activities that aim to promote persistence and the intention to pursue careers in CTS among program participants; and (3) Evaluate the short- and long-term effects of the INSPIRE-US program on participants’ career progression, program faculty, and the university. Our INSPIRE-US program leverages best practices known to promote career interest, research skill development, and the socioemotional support needed for URM undergraduates to successfully join the CTS workforce. If shown effective, the INSPIRE-US program is conceptualized to be reproducible and easily integrated into the activities of other Clinical Translational Science Awards (CTSA).

项目摘要 美国人口变得越来越多样化。但是，临床和翻译的科学和专业人士 劳动力不是美国人口的代表，也不代表来自潜水员的个人的人数不足 生物医学劳动力的背景阻碍了科学发现，并对我们的健康产生不利影响 国家。 NIH已经对研究教育计划进行了大量投资。但是， 大多数NIH支持劳动力发展计划的主要重点是 培养下一代的博士准备的临床和翻译科学家，并以最少的关注 需要更具包容性的生物医学科学劳动力，其中还包括代表性不足的种族 少数民族（URM）作为科学家以及对临床和生产至关重要的研究专业人员 翻译科学（CTS）。为了满足CTS劳动力中更大多样性的需求，拟议的 计划，针对代表性不足的学生翻译研究的密集夏季教育计划 （Inspire-us），需要与NIH和Case Western的使命保持一致的研究教育活动 预备大学。拟议的计划Inspire-US建立在机构承诺的基础上 大学和克利夫兰转化科学合作社以及MPI的经验 领导类似研究教育计划并了解的外部顾问委员会和计划教师 URM本科生对与CTS有关的职业感兴趣的独特学习和社会情感需求。 Inspire-US计划被概念化为一个为期10周的研究教育计划，该计划是针对该计划量身定制的 URM本科生的独特需求。在该计划的五年中，该计划领导者旨在 招募25个计划参与者。该应用程序的具体目的是：（1）招募多样性和才华 通过有证据的策略和协作机构合作伙伴关系，本科生与9 历史上，黑人大学，大学以及周围的社区大学； （2）实施理论信息 培养社区建设和社会支持的互补计划活动的课程，动手 临床和转化科学连续性，教学教学和微观的研究经验 凭证专注于临床和转化科学的基本概念以及心理和 旨在促进持久性和在CTS中购买职业意图的职业教练活动 计划参与者； （3）评估Inspire-US计划的短期和长期影响 参与者的职业发展，课程教师和大学。我们的Inspire-US计划最好 已知的实践，旨在促进职业兴趣，研究技能发展和所需的社会情感支持 让URM大学生成功加入CTS劳动力。如果显示有效，Inspire-US计划是 概念化为可重现并容易整合到其他临床转化科学的活动中 奖项（CTSA）。
