PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Texas A&M College of Medicine Developing and Readying Underrepresented Minority Researchers (DRUMR) Summer Research Program Texas ranks 2nd behind California in the percentage of its minority population (55%) as well as in the size of its Hispanic population (11.7 million as of 2017). Texas is also 2nd in terms of the size of its rural area, only behind Alaska. Since NIDDK-related diseases affect minorities and rural populations at a significantly greater rate, it is not surprising that Texas sits near the top for deaths (CDC). One important step to rectify these disparities involves an increase in minority representation of Texas’ biomedical research workforce, such that it more adequately reflects the state’s population diversity. This program will provide research opportunities to the best minority undergraduate students of the Texas A&M University System. The Texas A&M University System is a statewide network of 11 university campuses with an enrollment of over 152,000 students. Aside from the flagship campus located in College Station, the majority of students at the other 10 campuses are mainly Hispanic, Black, disadvantaged, and/or underprivileged students from mostly rural and remote areas of Texas. The Texas A&M’s College of Medicine (TAMCOM) Developing and Readying Underrepresented Minority Researchers (DRUMR) Summer Research Program (SRP) will offer disadvantaged and underrepresented minority students the opportunity to work with TAMCOM faculty in Bryan/College Station on research projects in NIDDK-related biomedical research areas. This 10-week program will also feature the nationally recognized Southwest Rural Health Research Center, 1 of only 7 in the country, and the A&M Rural and Community Health Institute. The 50 total students, 1 from each of the 10 sister schools each year for 5 years, will be selected by their institution based on eligibility, academics, and career goals, and then matched with College of Medicine faculty mentors in Bryan/College Station based on their NIDDK-related area of research interest. TAMCOM has been operating a SRP for 12 years and on average about 30% of participants each year are underrepresented minorities or disadvantaged. Over this time, 78% of participants enter graduate and/or medical school, which is higher than the 54% national average for other SRPs (National Science Foundation). The overall objective of the TAMCOM DRUMR SRP is to prepare disadvantaged and underrepresented Texas A&M University System students for careers in NIDDK-related biomedical research. The TAMCOM DRUMR SRP has 3 aims: (1) Provide integrative training and mentoring to participants in NIDDK-related biomedical research, (2) Provide laboratory skills to prepare participants for a career in biomedical research, and (3) Develop a network of students (“DRUMRs”) that will increase the diversity of the biomedical research workforce.

项目摘要/摘要 得克萨斯州农工大学医学院发展且准备就绪不足的少数群体研究人员（DRUMR） 夏季研究计划 德克萨斯州在其少数族裔人口的百分比（55％）中排名第二（55％） 西班牙裔人口的规模（截至2017年）。得克萨斯州也是其粗糙区域的大小，第二名 仅在阿拉斯加的后面。由于与NIDDK相关的疾病会影响少数族裔和少量人群 较高的速度，得克萨斯州坐在死亡的顶部（CDC）附近也就不足为奇了。纠正的重要一步 这些分布涉及得克萨斯州生物医学研究人员的少数群体代表性增加，例如 它更适当地反映了国家的人口多样性。该计划将提供研究 德克萨斯A＆M大学系统中最好的少数本科生的机会。 德克萨斯A＆M大学系统是一个由11个大学校园组成的全州网络 超过152,000名学生。除了位于大学车站的旗舰校园外，大多数学生 在其他10个校园中，主要是西班牙裔，黑人，处境不利和/或来自贫困的学生 德克萨斯州的大多数粗糙而偏远地区。得克萨斯A＆M医学院（TAMCOM）正在开发和 准备不足的少数民族研究人员（DRUMR）夏季研究计划（SRP）将提供 处于不利和代表性不足的少数民族学生有机会与TAMCOM教师合作 Bryan/College Station在NIDDK相关的生物医学研究领域的研究项目。这个10周 计划还将以全国认可的西南农村卫生研究中心为特色，其中只有1个 国家和农村和社区卫生研究所。总共50名学生，10个姐妹中的每一个 每年5年的学校将由其机构根据资格，学者和职业选择 目标，然后根据他们 NIDDK相关的研究兴趣领域。 TAMCOM已经经营SRP已有12年，平均每年约有30％ 代表人数不足或处于不利地位。在此期间，有78％的参与者进入研究生和/或 医学院，高于其他SRP的54％全国平均水平（国家科学基金会）。 Tamcom Drumr SRP的总体目的是准备灾难和代表性不足 德克萨斯A＆M大学系统的学生从事NIDDK相关生物医学研究的职业学生。 TAMCOM Drumr SRP有3个目标：（1）为与NIDDK相关的参与者提供集成的培训和心理 生物医学研究，（2）提供实验室技能，使参与者为生物医学研究职业做好准备， （3）建立一个学生网络（“ Drumrs”），该网络将增加生物医学研究的多样性 劳动力。
