项目摘要

The purpose of this proposal is to is to establish a mentored, research-intensive summer program for undergraduate under-represented minority students with the goal of increasing their interest, application and matriculation into biomedical science doctoral program at UConn Health or other US institutions and, an eventual research career in the biological sciences, through deliberate co-curricular activities that include research engagement in basic or translational NHLBI based research projects; participation in special workshops, seminars, and courses; careful academic and career mentoring; and incorporation into the campus scientific community through interaction with committed faculty with proven track records of mentoring and other successful science students. The application seeks funding to support 8 undergraduate students/ year for summer research in biomedical research such who will participate in the10 week increasing Research Experiences for Multicultural Students (iREM) program at UConn Health. The objectives are (1) to aid in the recruitment of underrepresented students and students with disabilities who are currently rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors enrolled in STEM program at an accredited university into our summer program in order to establish a pipeline for these students into ours as well as other graduate schools. Through these actions we should increase the diversity of our biomedical workforce, both in the state of CT and beyond, (2) to teach our trainees about the rigor of which biomedical sciences is performed through an intensive mentored research experience in an established basic science or translational laboratory and improve their research-related skills and confidence in those skills, especially in areas of interest to the NHLBI, (3) to provide our trainees with career guidance, intra-program and post-program mentoring and unique Coaching system that allows them to make informed decisions on their future professions, (4) to provide an inclusive environment where trainees develop a sense of belonging in the biomedical science profession. Applicants will be recruited nationwide through personal contacts with undergraduate program directors, promotion of the program at minority science student research or career conferences, emails to science program directors, website and on-line advertisements. Students will be selected based on their interest in research, intellectual competence, and teacher assessment of cognitive and personal skill. The directors of the program will encourage the iREM Admissions Committee to take a holistic approach to the selection process, and train faculty on the impact that implicit bias has on applicant. The program will be evaluated by the trainees and faculty research mentors. The constituent relationship management tool Slate will be used for follow-up activities including regular email contact with trainees to provide advice and networking opportunities, a twice-yearly alumni newsletter, a periodically- updated alumni directory, campus visits and informal telephone calls. Slate will also allow us to track the applicants and their career paths.

该提案的目的是建立一个指导性的、研究密集型的夏季项目本科生中代表性不足的少数族裔学生，其目标是提高他们的兴趣、应用和被康涅狄格大学健康学院或其他美国机构的生物医学科学博士课程录取，并最终获得通过刻意的课外活动（包括研究）从事生物科学研究参与基于 NHLBI 的基础或转化研究项目；参加特别研讨会，研讨会和课程；认真的学术和职业指导；并纳入校园科学通过与具有良好指导记录和其他记录的忠诚教师互动来建立社区成功的理科学生。该申请寻求资金支持每年 8 名本科生暑期生物医学研究等谁将参加10周增加研究康涅狄格大学健康中心的多元文化学生体验 (iREM) 项目。目标是 (1) 帮助招收代表性不足的学生和目前正在升入二年级的残疾学生，在认可大学就读 STEM 课程的大三学生或大四学生参加我们的暑期课程，以便为这些学生建立进入我们以及其他研究生院的渠道。通过这些行动我们应该增加我们生物医学劳动力的多样性，无论是在 CT 州还是其他州，(2) 教导我们学员通过深入的指导研究了解生物医学科学的严谨性在已建立的基础科学或转化实验室的经验，并提高他们的研究相关技能对这些技能的信心，特别是在 NHLBI 感兴趣的领域， (3) 为我们的学员提供职业指导、项目内和项目后辅导以及独特的辅导系统使他们能够对未来的职业做出明智的决定，(4) 提供包容性的环境，让学员在生物医学科学专业中培养归属感。申请人将通过与本科项目主任的个人接触在全国范围内招募，在少数民族理科学生研究或职业会议上推广该项目，向科学项目发送电子邮件董事、网站和在线广告。学生将根据他们对研究的兴趣进行选择，智力能力，以及教师对认知和个人技能的评估。该计划的董事将鼓励 iREM 招生委员会在选拔过程中采取全面的方法，并培训教师隐性偏见对申请人的影响。该计划将由学员和教师进行评估研究导师。后续活动将使用选民关系管理工具Slate 包括定期通过电子邮件与学员联系，以提供建议和交流机会，每年两次的校友会时事通讯、定期更新的校友名录、校园参观和非正式电话。板岩也会让我们能够跟踪申请人及其职业道路。
