Only 19% of employed scientists and engineers are from racial and ethnic minorities, and even fewer (~8%) in the field of communication sciences and disorders (CSD). Creating a more diverse biomedical research work- force necessitates recruiting talented students from diverse populations early in their educational journey. The overall goal of the proposed training program is to increase the ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic diversity of individuals who will ultimately pursue careers in biomedical, clinical, and health-services research in the area of CSD, and in the professorate who will train the next generation of clinicians and scientists. The objective of this application is to start a program that will recruit a more diverse research workforce at the University of Maryland- College Park (UMD). We will implement a year-long training program that provides under-represented under- graduates at the transition point of identifying their career path with an enriched, long-term experience to conduct research in our labs. This objective is supported by the highly diverse undergraduate population at UMD, and the university’s strong commitment to increase diversity through numerous campus initiatives. The proposed program will enable the department to address barriers experienced by under-represented minorities (time, re- sources, and awareness), and dramatically increase the diversity of students participating in our exceptional research programs that span the range of research foci in CSD. We will achieve the objective of this application with the following three specific aims: (1) Increase undergraduate research participation in Hearing and Speech Sciences (and related departments) to reflect the diversity of the UMD student body, (2) Increase trainees’ future academic success and likelihood of pursuing research careers by providing mentorship and professional devel- opment opportunities, improving the diversity of the pipe-line for CSD researchers, and (3) Disseminate the programmatic R25 results so that other institutions can follow our model. The successful completion of our spe- cific aims will ultimately increase the diversity of our field, locally and nationally, allowing us to develop a broader understanding of communication impairments across diverse populations, and to be better prepared to provide evidence-based clinical services to these populations. Our program will be innovative because it: (1) weaves together multiple components of research training that remove barriers and allow for student success (hands-on laboratory research experiences, professional development training, and individualized mentoring), (2) includes multiple types of mentors (one or more research mentors, peer and near-peer mentors within the lab, and career ambassadors, collaboration with the BIPOC-CSD network), (3) targets undergraduate students at a point of transition in their academic career, (4) focuses specifically on the field of CSD, and (5) provides research oppor- tunities in a highly active, productive, and funded department with an excellent record of producing PhDs who successfully obtain jobs in research.

只有19％的受雇科学家和工程师来自种族和少数民族，甚至更少（约8％） 传播科学和疾病领域（CSD）。创建更多样化的生物医学研究工作 - 有必要的学生在教育之旅的早期就招募了来自不同人群的才华横溢的学生。 拟议培训计划的总体目标是增加种族，种族和社会经济多样性 最终将追随生物医学，临床和健康服务研究的个人 CSD，以及将培训下一代临床医生和科学家的教授。这个目的 申请是启动一个计划，该计划将在马里兰州大学招募更多样化的研究劳动力 大学公园（UMD）。我们将实施为期一年的培训计划，以提供不足的不足 通过丰富的长期经验来确定自己的职业道路的过渡点的毕业生 在我们的实验室中进行研究。该目标得到了UMD高度多样化的本科生的支持， 该大学通过众多校园举措的坚定承诺致力于增加多样性。提议 计划将使部门能够解决代表不足的少数民族所经历的障碍 来源和意识），并大大增加了参与我们杰出的学生的多样性 跨越CSD研究范围的研究计划。我们将实现此应用程序的目标 以以下三个具体目的：（1）增加本科研究参与听力和语音 科学（及相关部门）以反映UMD学生团体的多样性，（2）增加培训的未来 通过提供精通和专业发展来从事研究职业的学术成就和可能性 选择机会，改善CSD研究人员管道的多样性，以及（3）传播 程序化R25结果，以便其他机构可以遵循我们的模型。我们的spe成功完成 Cific Aims最终将在当地和全国范围内增加我们领域的多样性，使我们能够发展更广泛的 理解潜水员人群的沟通障碍，并准备更好地提供 这些人群的循证临床服务。我们的计划将具有创新性，因为它：（1）编织 研究培训的多个组成部分可以消除障碍并允许学生成功（动手实践） 实验室研究经验，专业发展培训和个性化心理），（2）包括 多种类型的导师（实验室内的一位或多个研究导师，同伴和近距离导师，以及职业 大使，与BIPOC-CSD网络的合作），（3）在本科生的目标 （4）在学术生涯中的过渡专门针对CSD领域，（5）提供了研究。 在一个高度活跃，富有成效和资助的部门中，隧道具有出色的生产博士学位的记录 成功获得了研究工作。
