Scientific Mentoring and Research Experiences (SMRE) Core – Abstract: Representation of minority groups in alcohol research and other academic careers is important, but there are significant disparities found in academia1. Evidence suggests these disparities can be improved by structured mentoring that cultivates interests, experiences, and skills of underrepresented minorities (URMs) in the sciences and fosters their retention in academia1. The NCCU alcohol research laboratories in the current proposal were developed through a previous funded partnership grant focused on developing independent alcohol investigators. A primary goal of the current RFA is to promote the participation of URM scientists, and this new Scientific Mentoring and Research Experiences Core (SMRE) directly addresses this goal. Importantly, this Core will also increase productivity for each research component by mentoring NCCU students and supporting their expertise in complex scientific methods. UNC ARC and NCCU collaborative partnerships have always involved undergraduate and graduate URM students, but this proposal expands existing alcohol research collaborative partnerships with the additional goal of increasing student matriculation into alcohol research programs. By providing tailored experiences and infrastructure that enables student research success, we strengthen each component and facilitate student interests into lifelong biomedical careers. This includes mentoring in complex scientific methods for alcohol research projects, mentoring from multiple UNC ARC alcohol PIs, as well as professional development skills. RCMIs are strong teaching institutions, with students comprising the bulk of the research workforce. Accordingly, in prior years of this partnership, we found that strengthening the alcohol research expertise of NCCU students not only enhanced the pipeline of URM researchers, but it also improved the quality and productivity of each research project. We now propose focused initiatives to strengthen the scientific expertise of students in each research project. This includes mentoring in academic scholarship, scientific communication, grantsmanship, scientific rigor, responsible conduct of research, and complex scientific methods tailored for each scientific component. Increasing research skills and career coaching for NCCU students will promote student interest and benefit research project productivity, increasing successful discoveries that will help develop projects’ independent funding as well as increasing academic and biomedical workforce diversity. To accomplish these goals, we propose to: (1) provide NCCU undergraduates with mentoring in complex scientific methods and career development to improve scientific skills and promote entrance of URMs into alcohol research, (2) provide NCCU graduate students within collaborating components focused mentoring and instruction in complex methods tailored to each research component, and (3) facilitate laboratory mentors with evidence-based training in mentorship of diverse populations. This Core will strengthen each component by providing resources to the scientific development of the students on each component.

科学指导和研究经验 (SMRE) 核心 – 摘要：少数群体的代表 酒精研究和其他学术职业中的群体很重要，但在以下方面存在显着差异 学术界的证据表明，这些差异可以通过培养人才的结构化指导来改善。 代表性不足的少数群体 (URM) 在科学方面的兴趣、经验和技能，并培养他们的 当前提案中的国立政治大学酒精研究实验室是通过以下方式建立的： 之前资助的合作伙伴资助的主要目标是培养独立的酒精调查员。 当前的 RFA 旨在促进 URM 科学家的参与，而这一新的科学指导和研究 体验核心 (SMRE) 直接解决了这一目标，重要的是，该核心还将提高生产力。 通过指导 NCCU 学生并支持他们在复杂科学领域的专业知识，每个研究部分 UNC ARC 和 NCCU 的合作关系始终涉及本科生和研究生。 URM 学生，但该提案扩大了现有的酒精研究合作伙伴关系 通过提供量身定制的体验和提高学生进入酒精研究项目的目标。 使学生研究成功的基础设施，我们加强每个组成部分并促进学生 对终身生物医学职业的兴趣，这包括对酒精的复杂科学方法的指导。 研究项目、多个 UNC ARC 酒精 PI 的指导以及专业发展技能。 RCMI 是实力雄厚的教学机构，学生占研究人员的主体。 因此，在这种伙伴关系的前几年，我们发现加强酒精研究专业知识 国立政治大学的学生不仅增强了URM研究人员的队伍，而且还提高了研究人员的质量和水平。 我们现在提出加强科学专业知识的重点举措。 每个研究项目的学生人数，包括学术奖学金、科学交流、 资助、科学研究、负责任的研究行为以及为每个项目量身定制的复杂科学方法 提高NCCU学生的研究技能和职业指导将促进学生的发展 兴趣和效益研究项目的生产力，增加有助于发展的成功发现 项目的独立资助以及增加学术和生物医学劳动力的多样性。 为了实现这些目标，我们建议：（1）为国立政治大学本科生提供复杂科学方法和 职业发展，以提高科学技能并促进 URM 进入酒精研究，(2) 提供 NCCU 研究生在协作组件中重点关注复杂的指导和指导 针对每个研究组成部分量身定制的方法，以及（3）通过循证培训为实验室导师提供便利 该核心将通过向不同群体提供资源来加强每个组成部分。 学生在各个组成部分的科学发展。
