PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Creating experiences for underrepresented undergraduates in STEM fields where they can present their own research and experience a professional setting is important for developing their sense of self, and ability to persevere in a research career. Sharing one's research is an important step in that process. The proposed ADAR Summit meeting provides the financial support to make this happen for trainees in the MSTEM Advancing Diversity in Aging Research program. The proposed series of conferences will meet annually for five years, coinciding with the annual meeting of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA). There are 9 such programs currently. Each one has a different emphasis in the field of aging: biology, psychology, demography and more. As part of the ADAR program, students engage in mentored research projects in the field of aging. These projects will be presented at the conference either as presentations in the ADAR Summit meeting, or as part of a poster session within the broader GSA conference setting. The GSA will facilitate an integration of the ADAR Summit into the program. In each year in the ADAR Summit, there will be student presentations, presentations from established URM and other scholars, opportunities to speak with representatives from possible graduate schools, and networking time with the trainees from other institutions. The program will have different kinds of activities in order to fully engage the undergraduate students, including visiting the poster sessions in the GSA, attending sessions relevant to their field, and the book exhibits. In addition, the MSTEM ADAR program requires PIs to meet annually to discuss best practices, share advice and other experiences. The PIs will have time to meet for this purpose. As such, the primary goal of this conference series is to help solidify the self-image of trainees as STEM researchers in aging through positive reinforcement. The ADAR Summit is an important strategy for retention in budding research careers. Ultimately the goal is to have a research community of scientists that is representative of the overall United States population, in order to more accurately address health issues of the 21st century and beyond.

项目概要/摘要 为 STEM 领域中代表性不足的本科生创造经验 展示自己的研究和经验 专业环境对于发展很重要 他们的自我意识以及坚持研究事业的能力。分享自己的研究成果是 该过程中的重要一步。拟议的 ADAR 峰会提供了财务 支持 MSTEM 的学员实现这一目标，推进老龄化研究的多样性 程序。拟议的系列会议将在五年内每年举行一次，恰逢 美国老年学协会（GSA）年会。 目前有9个这样的计划。每个人在老龄化领域都有不同的侧重点： 生物学、心理学、人口学等等。作为 ADAR 计划的一部分，学生参与 指导老龄化领域的研究项目。这些项目将在 会议既可以作为 ADAR 峰会的演示，也可以作为海报会议的一部分 在更广泛的 GSA 会议环境中。 GSA 将促进 ADAR 的整合 峰会进入计划。每年的 ADAR 峰会都会有学生演讲， 知名 URM 和其他学者的演讲、交流机会 来自可能的研究生院的代表，以及与来自以下国家的学员的交流时间 其他机构。该计划将举办不同类型的活动，以充分吸引 本科生，包括参观 GSA 的海报会议、参加会议 与他们的领域相关的内容，以及书中的展品。此外，MSTEM ADAR 计划要求 PI 每年举行一次会议，讨论最佳实践、分享建议和其他经验。 PI 将有时间为此目的会面。 因此，该系列会议的主要目标是帮助巩固学员的自我形象 作为通过积极强化研究衰老的 STEM 研究人员。 ADAR 峰会是 保留新兴研究职业的重要策略。最终的目标是拥有一个 代表美国全体人口的科学家研究团体， 为了更准确地解决21世纪及以后的健康问题。
