 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 15 program graduates in the program's first 4 years who have applied to and been offered admission to graduate school. Importantly, 100% of BP-ENDURE graduates from Hunter and NYU who have applied to doctoral programs were accepted. Some are at the best universities in the country, such as Harvard, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, Brown, and Yale. The overall goal of this application is to develop 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 four outstanding T32-awarded universities-New York University, Brown University, University of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University. This partnership will expose 12 BP-ENDURE-trainee students 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 applied neuroscientists from the areas of clinical, social, health, developmental, computational, and cognitive neuropsychology. During this funding period, four developmental activities are proposed: (1) To develop an outstanding group of undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds dedicated to neuroscience research; (2) To provide scientific skills and research experiences to our trainees through research placement with actively funded neuroscientists in three different university settings, so as to expose students to laboratories that differ in scale, hierarchically, stylisticaly, and geographically; (3) To develop academic development and curriculum enhancement activities rooted in the student's research activities; and (4) 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 achievements, as well as their (3) scientific writing (of research and grants) and oral presentation skills. Outcome from evaluations of the Steering Committee, the external evaluator, and the Administrative Core will guide future modifications to our training initiatives.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：不同的种族和族裔以及残疾人和/或具有社会，经济或教育上处于弱势背景的背景在神经科学中的代表性不足。纽约市城市大学（CUNY）和纽约大学（纽约大学）认识到，从这些人群不足的人群中增加高素质的神经科学家的数量是我们作为学术和研究机构的未来不可或缺的一部分。亨特学院和纽约大学的目标是增加训练有素的潜水神经科学家的数量。 Hunter和NYU的BP-endure提出的提案旨在利用并扩展我们的BP-endure资金前5年的目标和成功，BP-Edure资金的前5年，该资金在该计划的前4年中培养了15名计划毕业生，这些毕业生已申请并被录取给研究生院。重要的是，接受了申请博士课程的Hunter和NYU的BP-endure毕业生中有100％被接受。有些是该国最好的大学，例如哈佛，哥伦比亚，约翰·霍普金斯，加州大学伯克利分校，布朗和耶鲁大学。该应用程序的总体目标是在亨特（Hunter）制定神经科学培训计划，该计划将鼓励和准备来自潜水员背景的学生进入神经科学博士学位课程并取得成功。为了实现这一目标，猎人学院与四个杰出的T32授予大学奖学金的大学，新约克大学，布朗大学，密歇根大学和范德比尔特大学建立了研究教育的合作伙伴关系。该合作伙伴关系将每年将12个BP-Endure-Trainee学生揭露到研究密集的课程以及卓越和积极研究的环境中。此外，由于拟议的导师的多样性，学生将接触到广泛的研究人员，包括对中枢神经系统（CNS）问题感兴趣的基本神经科学家以及来自临床，社会，健康，发展，计算，计算，计算和认知神经心理学领域的应用神经科学家。在此资助期间，提出了四项发展活动：（1）开发一群具有神经科学研究的潜水员背景的杰出本科生； （2）通过在三种不同的大学环境中与积极资助的神经科学家的研究安置为学员提供科学技能和研究经验，以使学生接触到规模，分层，风格，风格和地理上不同的实验室； （3）发展植根于学生研究活动的学术发展和课程增强活动； （4）保持有效的行政核心，以支持我们的学生的需求和发展。在请求的资金期内可衡量的目标包括：（1）在神经科学的研究生院课程中获得85％至90％的接受者； （2）提高学生的定量技能和学术成就，以及（3）科学写作（研究和赠款）和口头表现技巧。指导委员会，外部评估和行政核心评估的结果将指导未来的修改我们的培训计划。
