项目摘要

Project Summary The discipline of biomedical informatics is primed to foster scientific innovation and advance health equity. To truly harness the potential of multitude of methods, theories, and application in the field of the informatics, there is pressing need to enhance the diversity of the research community. Recent educational research suggests that intentional connections to culture, community, and local needs may be critical to welcoming and retaining individuals that are traditionally marginalized in biomedical research. Place-based education, a form of community-based learning, aims for purposeful student engagement that is responsive to local environmental and health needs, including its history, culture, people, and ecology. Such learning cultivates critical and analytical skills and actively engages students in real-world problem solving and holds much potential for increasing student engagement in scientific research as well as in interdisciplinary areas such as informatics. In this project, we propose to develop a truly interdisciplinary, Place-based Culturally responsive Health Informatics Research Education (PHIRE) program that brings together expertise from data science, systems science and engineering, health informatics, and public health and infuses regional assets and needs from the community into the training and curricula. The vision of the PHIRE training program is to recruit and prepare a diverse pool of 60 undergraduate students (12 students per year) to conduct scientific research in health informatics with an inherent focus on addressing health disparities and public health needs. The PHIRE training program includes three major components: (1) a 12-week summer research experience, (2) a thematic undergraduate minor in health informatics, and (3) preparation for graduate school or other research careers in health informatics.

项目摘要生物医学信息学的学科旨在促进科学创新并提高健康公平。为了真正利用信息学领域中多种方法，理论和应用的潜力，迫切需要增强研究界的多样性。最近的教育研究表明，与文化，社区和当地需求的有意联系对于传统在生物医学研究中被边缘化的人欢迎和保留个人至关重要。基于地点的教育是一种基于社区学习的形式，旨在实现有目的的学生参与度，以响应当地的环境和健康需求，包括其历史，文化，人员和生态。这种学习培养了关键和分析能力，并积极吸引学生解决现实世界中的问题，并具有增加学生参与科学研究以及跨学科领域（例如信息学）的潜力。在该项目中，我们建议开发一个真正的跨学科的，基于地方的文化响应式健康信息学研究教育（PHIRE）计划，该计划汇集了数据科学，系统科学和工程，健康信息学以及公共卫生的专业知识，并注入了社区的区域资产和需求，并从社区中获得了培训和课程和课程。 Phire培训计划的愿景是招募和准备各种各样的60名本科生（每年12名学生），以进行健康信息学科学研究，固有地专注于满足健康差异和公共卫生需求。 PHIRE培训计划包括三个主要组成部分：（1）为期12周的夏季研究经验，（2）健康信息学的主题本科生，以及（3）为研究生院或其他健康信息学研究生准备。
