项目摘要

Diverse racial and ethnic groups, as well as individuals with disabilities and/or having socially, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds are underrepresented in neuroscience. Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) and New York University (NYU) recognize that increasing the number of highly qualified neuroscientists from these underrepresented populations is integral to our future as academic and research institutions. Hunter College and NYU aim to increase the number of well-trained, diverse neuroscientists. BP-ENDURE at Hunter and NYU proposes to capitalize on and expand on the objectives and success of our first 5 years of BP-ENDURE funding, which has produced 43 program graduates in the program’s first 8 years who have applied to and been offered admission to graduate school. Importantly, 100% of BP-ENDURE graduates from Hunter and NYU who applied to doctoral programs were accepted to some of the best doctoral programs in the country, including Brown, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, UPenn, UCSF, Stanford, NYU, the University of Michigan, and Yale. Six of our graduates have been awarded NSF Graduate Research Fellowships. The overall goal of this application is to continue to develop and refine a neuroscience training program at Hunter that will encourage and prepare students from diverse backgrounds to enter into and succeed in neuroscience PhD programs. To achieve this goal, Hunter College has developed a research-educational partnership with five outstanding T32-awarded universities—New York University, Brown, the University of Michigan, Vanderbilt, and Yale. This partnership will expose 12 BP-ENDURE students from Hunter College and NYU per year to a research-intensive curriculum and an environment of excellence and active research. Moreover, because of the diversity of the proposed mentors, students will be exposed to a broad spectrum of researchers, including basic neuroscientists interested in central nervous system (CNS) issues and more applied neuroscientists from the areas clinical and cognitive neuroscience. During this funding period, five developmental activities are proposed: (1) To recruit and develop an outstanding group of undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds who are dedicated to neuroscience research; (2) To provide scientific skills and research experiences to our trainees through research placement with actively funded neuroscientists; (3) To implement academic development and curriculum enhancement activities rooted in the student’s research activities; (4) To facilitate effective mentoring by program faculty; and (5) To maintain an effective Administrative Core to support our students’ needs and development. Our measurable objectives during the requested funding period include: (1) attaining 85 to 90% acceptance of trainees to graduate school programs in neuroscience; (2) improving our students’ quantitative skills and academic achievement, and (3) improving our students’ scientific writing and oral presentation skills.

纽约城市大学 (CUNY) 和纽约大学 (NYU) 亨特学院认识到，不同种族和族裔群体以及残疾人和/或具有社会、经济或教育背景的弱势群体在神经科学领域的代表性不足。作为学术和研究机构，增加这些代表性不足的人群中高素质神经科学家的数量对于我们的未来至关重要，亨特学院和纽约大学的目标是增加亨特和 BP-ENDURE 训练有素的、多样化的神经科学家的数量。纽约大学提议利用并扩大我们前 5 年 BP-ENDURE 资助的目标和成功，该项目在该项目的前 8 年已培养了 43 名毕业生，他们已申请并获得研究生院录取，重要的是，有 100 名毕业生。亨特大学和纽约大学的 BP-ENDURE 毕业生申请博士课程的百分比被美国一些最好的博士课程录取，包括布朗大学、哈佛大学、约翰霍普金斯大学、加州大学伯克利分校、宾夕法尼亚大学、加州大学旧金山分校、斯坦福大学、纽约大学、密歇根大学和耶鲁大学的六名毕业生获得了美国国家科学基金会研究生研究奖学金。该申请的总体目标是继续开发和完善亨特的神经科学培训计划，以鼓励和培养学生。为了实现这一目标，亨特学院与纽约大学、布朗大学、密歇根大学、范德比尔特大学和耶鲁大学等五所荣获 T32 的杰出大学建立了研究教育合作伙伴关系。此次合作每年将使来自亨特学院和纽约大学的 12 名 BP-ENDURE 学生接触研究密集型课程以及卓越和积极研究的环境。此外，由于拟议导师的多样性，学生将接触到广泛的研究人员。，包括对中枢神经系统（CNS）问题感兴趣的基础神经科学家和更多来自临床和认知神经科学领域的应用神经科学家。在此资助期间，提出了五项发展活动：（1）招募和培养一批优秀的本科生。不同的背景(2) 通过积极资助的神经科学家的研究实习，为学员提供科学技能和研究经验； (3) 实施植根于学生研究活动的学术发展和课程强化活动； (4) 促进项目教师的有效指导； (5) 维持有效的行政核心，以支持学生的需求和发展，在所要求的资助期内，我们的可衡量目标包括： (1) 达到 85% 至 90% 的学员接受率。神经科学研究生院课程；（2）提高学生的定量技能和学术成绩，以及（3）提高学生的科学写作和口头表达能力。
