项目摘要

The Advancing Student Potential for Inclusion with Research Experiences (ASPIRE) Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) seeks to increase diversity of the biomedical workforce with cardiovascular research experience through a 10-week summer program for undergraduates who belong to underrepresented groups (URGs) in science and medicine. ASPIRE will fill a great need at MCW for federally-supported undergraduate training in cardiovascular research as MCW historically receives 200 to 300 more applications each spring from undergraduates from URGs than available summer positions. We will provide apprentice-style mentoring for our trainees from our 36 accomplished faculty mentors embedded within the MCW Cardiovascular Center’s thematic areas of research expertise (“Signature Programs”), which are: 1) atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology, 2) cardiac biology and heart failure, 3) cardio- oncology, and 4) hypertension. Our program is designed to enhance “science identity” and disciplinary knowledge and skills to support belonging, attitude, competence, knowledge, and skills by engaging trainees in experiential research, personalized learning opportunities about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers (MD Track, PhD Track, or General Science Career Track), and avenues for further training (i.e., graduate school, professional school), in addition to providing professional skills for career advancement and tools for breaking down barriers, thriving, and resilience. We will draw on our extensive background with the national recruitment and mentoring of trainees from URGs, leverage existing MCW resources, and provide innovative diversity-tailored seminars and experiences in an inclusive, well- resourced environment. With strong institutional support and excellence in cardiovascular research (ranked #13 of medical schools in funding from NHLBI), we will leverage our experienced multi-PI leadership, oversight by an informed Advisory Committee, and culturally-aware, well-resourced faculty mentors to meet our intermediate and long-term benchmarks of success: to enroll and train 13 sophomore, junior, or senior-level undergraduate trainees from URGs each summer (65 trainees over the 5-year period of the award), provide tailored, relevant, and cutting-edge training in research and professional skills, expose trainees to the multitudinous career opportunities in STEM, enable trainees to present their research at a MCW research symposium at the end of the 10 weeks of training (and if possible, at a national research conference the following year), and for 80% or more of our ASPIRE graduates to complete their undergraduate degree in a STEM field, more than 50% to apply to graduate school or other biomedical-related advanced degree programs, and 75% to obtain a first job in STEM. Overall, the ultimate goal of the ASPIRE Program is to inspire and fully- equip our undergraduate trainees from URGs for future careers within STEM, especially in areas related to cardiovascular research, thereby enhancing the diversity of the future biomedical workforce.

医学院的“通过研究经验提升学生潜力”（ASPIRE）计划威斯康星学院 (MCW) 致力于提高心血管生物医学劳动力的多样性通过为期 10 周的暑期课程为本科生提供研究经验 ASPIRE 将满足 MCW 对科学和医学领域代表性不足的群体 (URG) 的巨大需求。联邦政府支持的心血管研究本科生培训，因为 MCW 历来接受过 200 至每年春季，来自 URG 的本科生的申请数量比可用的夏季职位多出 300 份。将为我们的学员提供学徒式的指导，这些指导来自我们的 36 位经验丰富的导师在 MCW 心血管中心的研究专业主题领域（“签名项目”）内，是：1) 动脉粥样硬化、血栓形成和血管生物学，2) 心脏生物学和心力衰竭，3) 心血管肿瘤学，4) 高血压，我们的计划旨在增强“科学认同”和学科。通过让受训者参与来支持归属感、态度、能力、知识和技能有关科学、技术、工程和领域的体验式研究和个性化学习机会数学（STEM）职业（医学博士轨道、博士轨道或普通科学职业轨道）以及除了提供专业技能外，还接受进一步培训（即研究生院、专业学校）我们将利用我们的职业发展和打破障碍、蓬勃发展和韧性的工具。具有在全国范围内招募和指导来自URG的学员的广泛背景，利用现有的 MCW 资源，并以包容性、良好的方式提供创新的多元化定制研讨会和体验拥有强大的机构支持和卓越的心血管研究（排名第13）的医学院获得 NHLBI 的资助），我们将利用我们经验丰富的多 PI 领导力、监督一个消息灵通的咨询委员会，以及具有文化意识、资源丰富的导师团队，以满足我们的中级要求长期成功基准：招收和培养 13 名大二、大三或高年级本科生每年夏天，来自 URG 的学员（该奖项的 5 年期间有 65 名学员），提供量身定制的、相关的、前沿的研究和专业技能培训，让学员接触到众多的知识 STEM 领域的职业机会，使学员能够在 MCW 研究研讨会上展示他们的研究成果 10周的培训结束（如果可能的话，在第二年的全国研究会议上）， 80% 或更多的 ASPIRE 毕业生完成了 STEM 领域的本科学位，超过50%申请研究生院或其他生物医学相关的高级学位课程，以及 75% 的人获得 STEM 领域的第一份工作总体而言，ASPIRE 计划的最终目标是激发并充分- 为来自 URG 的本科生提供 STEM 未来职业培训，特别是在以下领域：心血管研究，从而增强未来生物医学劳动力的多样性。
