项目摘要

ABSTRACT In 2019, Hispanic/Latinx individuals were awarded 8.6% of the 187,568 doctoral degrees awarded in the US despite accounting for 18.5% of the US population, while African American graduates were awarded 9.2% of doctoral degrees despite accounting for 12.5% of the population. One reason for this disparity may be that doctoral training including training of substance use researchers tends to take place at large Research 1 (R1; Carnegie very high research activity designation) institutions, yet the majority of underrepresented minority (URM) students who attend college in the US are not doing so at an R1 institution. For example, 67% of Hispanic/Latinx college students attend Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) with only 10 of the 646 HSIs in the US designated as R1 institutions. Students who attend HSIs, because they have had less access to research opportunity and have fewer people in their peer networks who seek graduate training, may not have had the chance to envision a post-baccalaureate life that involves graduate training. As a result, a significant prospective pool of exceptional students do not make their way to doctoral training programs thereby greatly delimiting diversity among, for example, substance use researchers. To bridge the divide between HSIs and research-intensive environments we propose to recruit URM undergraduates from HSIs in their sophomore year to participate in a two year program at New York University (NYU) with the goal of strengthening research capacity and supporting application to an R1 graduate school. Recruitment sites include Mercy College and five HSIs located across NYC that participate in the City University of New York (CUNY) Macaulay Honors College. NYU faculty and mentors include over 20 NIDA-funded investigators from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds. Among DDIS scholars, we aim to build skills in foundational and implementation science research methods and knowledge of substance use research through coursework and seminars (Aim 1). DDIS scholars will complete in-person Research Methods Weekend Workshops at NYU (monthly; academic Year 1); online modules in substance use research (~monthly; academic Year 1); in-person/teleconferenced seminars at NYU for ongoing skills training (weekly) and Mercy College for career development (biweekly) over the course of the two year program. We also aim to build capacity in conducting research, completing scientific deliverables, and applying to graduate school through a sustained, intensive mentored research experience (Aim 2). During the junior year DDIS scholars will be matched with a NIDA-funded research mentor at NYU and will become integrated into the lab. In the summer between the junior and senior year, DDIS scholars will work onsite at NYU and participate in an intensive mentored research experience. Through the senior year, mentors will support student presentations, publications, and application to graduate training. Providing rigorous and sustained training to support completion of scientific deliverables will increase competitive entry into a doctoral program at an R1 institution among URM scholars, thereby paving their path to independence.

抽象的 2019年，美国授予的187,568个博士学位中，西班牙裔/拉丁裔个人获得了8.6% 尽管非洲裔美国毕业生占美国人口的 18.5%，但获得的学位却占 9.2% 尽管占人口的12.5%，但拥有博士学位。造成这种差异的原因之一可能是包括药物滥用研究人员培训在内的博士培训往往在大型研究 1（R1；R1；卡内基研究活动指定非常高）机构，但大多数是代表性不足的少数群体 (URM) 在美国上大学的学生并非在 R1 机构就读。例如，67% 西班牙裔/拉丁裔大学生就读西班牙裔服务机构 (HSIs)，全美 646 所 HSI 中只有 10 所美国指定为R1机构。就读 HSI 的学生，因为他们获得研究的机会较少机会，并且在同行网络中寻求研究生培训的人较少，可能没有机会有机会设想涉及研究生培训的学士学位后生活。结果，显着因此，未来的优秀学生不会进入博士培训项目例如，界定药物使用研究人员之间的多样性。弥合恒指和恒生指数之间的鸿沟研究密集型环境，我们建议在大二时从 HSI 招收 URM 本科生参加纽约大学 (NYU) 为期两年的项目，旨在加强研究能力和支持申请 R1 研究生院。招聘网站包括 Mercy College 和纽约市内五家参加纽约市立大学 (CUNY) 麦考利荣誉课程的 HSI 大学。纽约大学的教职员工和导师包括 20 多名来自不同种族/民族的 NIDA 资助的研究人员背景。在 DDIS 学者中，我们的目标是培养基础科学和实施科学方面的技能通过课程作业和研讨会了解物质使用研究的研究方法和知识（目标 1）。迪迪斯学者们将在纽约大学完成面对面的研究方法周末研讨会（每月一次；第一学年）；物质使用研究在线模块（~每月；第一学年）；现场/电话会议研讨会在纽约大学进行持续技能培训（每周一次）和 Mercy College 进行职业发展（每两周一次）两年计划的课程。我们还旨在培养开展研究、完成科学工作的能力可交付成果，并通过持续、密集的指导研究经验申请研究生院（目标 2）。在大三期间，DDIS 学者将与 NIDA 资助的纽约大学研究导师相匹配并将融入实验室。在大三和大四之间的夏季，DDIS 学者将在纽约大学现场工作并参与密集的指导研究经验。整个高年级，导师将支持学生的演讲、出版物和研究生培训的申请。提供支持完成科学成果的严格和持续的培训将提高竞争性进入 URM 学者中 R1 机构的博士课程，从而为他们的独立铺平道路。
