项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract There are few women and underrepresented minorities (URM) entering into the fields of hematology and pediatrics as well as positions of leadership. It is critical that more underrepresented hematology researchers are trained to better understand, identify, and reduce health disparities in the field and study diseases that are relevant to underrepresented communities, such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia, to improve outcomes. We have developed an innovative, multidisciplinary training program in nonmalignant hematology with faculty mentors who have unique expertise and experience training students. The goal of this R25 application, “Increasing Diversity in Hematology: Training for Underrepresented students,” is to recruit underrepresented high school graduates and local community college students to Stanford University to 1) obtain an introduction to clinical aspects of nonmalignant hematology; 2) participate in didactic lectures and laboratory experience in hematology research, 3) be exposed to ethics in research; and 4) explore career development options. Given the declining number of underrepresented translational and basic researchers in hematology, a training program in hematology will be critical to fill the pipeline and ultimately increase the number of underrepresented leaders in hematology. In this application, we seek funding for 5 recent underrepresented high school graduates and 5 underrepresented community college students each year to spend 8-weeks during the summer with faculty who have expertise in mentoring underrepresented students. Students will have the opportunity to perform research in one of the 30 expert faculty mentors’ laboratories. Trainees will be selected from a pool of >200 eligible high school graduates from cities throughout the country and >1400 students from 26 local community colleges surrounding Stanford University. The funding will support the students’ salaries and living expenses. The students will participate in a curriculum consisting of lectures, workshops, and research seminars. Lectures will focus on introduction to hematology and various research techniques. Career development workshops for trainees include writing scientific abstracts, giving presentations, ethics, and preparing posters. Students will also receive “hands on” experience with appropriately matched mentors and their trainees, e.g. postdoctoral fellows, based on the students’ interests. There will be a poster symposium at the end of the program. The Program Directors and Internal Advisory Committee will evaluate the program annually. The External Advisory Committee will review the R25 program every year and meet with the Program Directors, Internal Advisory Committee members, and students. The R25 program will be evaluated by the student participants every year. We will utilize the strengths of Stanford University to recruit underrepresented students to the hematology, including the breadth and depth of investigators across many disciplines, to train future leaders in the hematology.

项目摘要/摘要进入血液学领域的妇女和代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）和儿科以及领导地位。至关重要的是代表性不足的血液学对研究人员进行了培训，以更好地理解，识别和减少该领域的健康差异并进行研究与代表性不足的社区有关的疾病，例如镰状细胞疾病和地中海贫血，改善结果。我们已经开发了一个创新的多学科培训计划具有独特专业知识并经验培训学生的教师导师的血液学。 R25应用程序的目标是“血液学多样性的增加：代表性不足的学生的培训”是招募人为不足的高中毕业生和当地社区大学生到斯坦福大学至1）获得非恶性血液学临床方面的介绍； 2）参加教学讲座和血液学研究的实验室经验，3）在研究中受到伦理的影响； 4）探索职业开发选择。鉴于代表性不足的翻译和基础研究人员数量减少血液学，血液学培训计划对于填补管道并最终增加的培训计划至关重要血液学中代表性不足的领导者数量。在此申请中，我们为5名代表性不足的高中毕业生和5个每年代表性不足的社区大学生在夏季与教师一起度过8周他们在体力不足的学生方面的专业知识。学生将有机会表演在30位专家教师实验室之一中进行研究。学员将从> 200的池中选出来自全国各地城市的合格高中毕业生和来自26个当地社区的1400名学生斯坦福大学周围的大学。这笔资金将支持学生的薪水和生活费用。学生将参加由讲座，讲习班和研究中心组成的课程。讲座将重点放在血液学和各种研究技术上。职业发展学员的讲习班包括撰写科学摘要，提供演讲，道德和准备海报。学生还将通过适当匹配的导师及其培训来获得“动手”经验，例如基于学生的兴趣，博士后研究员。结束时将有一个海报研讨会程序。计划主管和内部咨询委员会将每年评估该计划。这外部咨询委员会将每年审查R25计划，并与计划董事会面内部咨询委员会成员和学生。 R25程序将由学生评估每年的参与者。我们将利用斯坦福大学的优势来招募人数不足血液学的学生，包括许多学科的调查人员的广度和深度，以训练血液学的未来领导者。
