Research in biomedical and bioengineering careers increasingly relies on rapidly evolving domain-specific data analysis skills and the expert management of information and knowledge. The need for such preparation is most acute among urban students who are multicultural, multilingual, and low-income; who persistently underachieve academically compared to their majority culture peers. This underachievement is a key factor in dissuading high school students from considering college education. Hence, there is an urgent need to prepare the future research workforce in biomedical informatics. One of the primary reasons for the Department of Biohealth Informatics (DBI) at the School of Informatics and Computing (SoIC), Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus to be hosting this R25 education program is the recently approved Biomedical Informatics (BMI) baccalaureate degree program, which is the only such program in Indiana and the third in the nation, to educate students in a rapidly growing field, to address the shortage of informatics-trained research workforce in biomedicine. Since we also have a highly successful accelerated BS+MS program that allows students to complete both a baccalaureate and master’s degrees in five years, the students will be encouraged to participate in this degree pathway that will prepare them for higher-paying job opportunities in the fields of bioinformatics and health informatics. Along with this, our campus represents the amalgamation of two of the leading research-focused universities in Indiana - Indiana and Purdue Universities, and hosts the largest medical school in the nation. Long-term industry collaborations with leading pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lilly and company, faculty joint appointments with leading research sites, like the Regenstrief Institute and an extensive existing network of interactions with numerous Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), make the SoIC/IUPUI an appropriate site to host this NLM R25 research education program - whose goals are to reduce gender and race disparities in the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce by targeting academically talented students who come from economically disadvantaged (ED) and/or underrepresented minority (URM) populations. The objective here is to provide hands-on research experience during summer in their junior, senior undergraduate and first-year graduate years and keep them motivated to pursue research careers while taking advantage of access to accelerated degrees available on campus. Since informatics in biomedicine impacts a wide variety of interdisciplinary fields, proposed summer research experiences will benefit undergraduate and graduate student population in a multitude of NLM-supported research careers.

生物医学和生物工程职业的研究越来越依赖于快速发展 特定领域的数据分析技能以及信息和知识的专家管理。 对于多元文化的城市学生来说，这种准备的需求最为迫切， 多语言且低收入；与他们相比，他们的学业成绩持续不佳 这种成绩不佳是阻碍高中生的一个关键因素。 因此，迫切需要为未来的研究做好准备。 生物医学信息学劳动力的主要原因之一。 印第安纳大学普渡大学信息学与计算学院 (SoIC) 的信息学 (DBI) 印第安纳波利斯大学 (IUPUI) 校园最近将举办 R25 教育项目 批准的生物医学信息学 (BMI) 学士学位课程，这是唯一的此类课程 印第安纳州的计划，也是全国第三个计划，旨在教育快速发展的领域的学生， 解决生物医学领域受过信息学训练的研究人员短缺问题。 拥有非常成功的加速 BS+MS 课程，允许学生完成 五年内攻读学士和硕士学位，鼓励学生参与 在这个学位途径中，将为他们在以下领域获得更高薪的工作机会做好准备 除此之外，我们的校园代表着生物信息学和健康信息学的融合。 印第安纳州两所领先的研究型大学 - 印第安纳大学和普渡大学， 并拥有全国最大的医学院，与领先的行业合作。 礼来等制药公司和公司、教职人员与领先的联合任命 研究场所，如 Regenstrief Institute 和广泛的现有互动网络 众多少数族裔服务机构 (MSI)，使 SoIC/IUPUI 成为合适的托管场所 NLM R25 研究教育计划 - 其目标是减少性别和种族 通过以学术为目标，生物医学、行为和临床研究人员之间存在差异 来自经济弱势群体 (ED) 和/或代表性不足的优秀学生 这里的目标是提供实践研究经验。 在大三、本科生大四和研究生一年级的暑假期间，让他们 积极追求研究事业，同时利用加速学位的机会 由于生物医学信息学影响广泛的跨学科。 领域，拟议的夏季研究经验将使本科生和研究生受益 从事众多 NLM 支持的研究职业的人口。
