Project Summary The IMPACT (Innovative Mentoring and Professional Advancement Through Cultural Training) Program is a multi-dimensional, inter-institutional, collaborative mentoring program for underrepresented minority (URM) students who are interested in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). This program is a collaboration between Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), a top US research university, and Hampton University (HU), a top ranked Historically Black College and University (HBCU). CWRU is known for its innovation in CSD, and it is located in a predominately Black neighborhood. HU has the oldest graduate program in speech-language pathology (SLP) at an HBCU and has graduated more Black SLPs than any other US program. CWRU and HU, along with their corporate and institutional partners and many peer supports, will provide structured mentorship and professional development resources to build broad and diverse developmental mentorship networks for the 42 and 24 undergraduate and graduate students, respectively, who will participate in the IMPACT program throughout the five-year grant cycle. The aims of this proposal are to: 1) build developmental networks for URM students in CSD, and 2) successfully transition students in CSD into clinical and research graduate programs. By achieving these aims, URM students in CSD will be more likely to pursue a career in research and the foundation will be laid for a successful research career. IMPACT Fellows will be paired with academic, research, affinity, and peer mentors, along with writing, wellness, and career coaches; they will meet regularly with these mentors and coaches throughout each academic year. Undergraduate Fellows will complete at least 150 hours of learning experiences, while graduate Fellows will complete a minimum of 50 hours. Work from this five-year proposal will be used to create both a model and a manual for collaborative CSD mentoring programs between other minority-serving-institutions (e.g., HBCUs) and research-intensive universities. Long-term outcomes of the IMPACT program include the achievement and retention of URM students in CSD careers. This in turn is expected to support the broader mission of NIDCD by improving outcomes for communication disorders in URM populations by fostering diversity of thought, inclusive assessment, and equitable treatment in clinical CSD research.

项目摘要 影响（通过文化培训通过创新的指导和专业进步）计划是一个计划 多维，机构间的合作指导计划，用于代表性不足的少数民族（URM） 对沟通科学和疾病感兴趣的学生（CSD）。该计划是一个合作 在Case Western Reserve University（CWRU），美国顶级研究大学和汉普顿大学之间 （HU），是历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）。 CWRU以其创新而闻名 CSD，它位于一个主要的黑色社区。胡拥有最古老的研究生课程 HBCU的语音语言病理学（SLP）比其他任何人都比其他任何人都多。 程序。 CWRU和HU以及他们的公司和机构合作伙伴以及许多同行支持 提供结构化的指导和专业发展资源，以建立广泛而多样的 分别针对42和24年的本科生和研究生的发展指导网络 将在整个五年的赠款周期中参加Impact计划。该提议的目的是：1） 在CSD中为URM学生建立发展网络，以及2）成功将CSD的学生转变为 临床和研究研究生课程。通过实现这些目标，CSD中的URM学生更有可能 从事研究职业，将为成功的研究职业奠定基金会。影响研究员 将与学术，研究，亲和力和同伴导师配对，以及写作，健康和职业 教练他们将在每个学年中定期与这些导师和教练会面。 本科研究员将至少完成150个小时的学习经验，而研究生研究员将 完成至少50小时。该五年提案的工作将用于创建模型和 在其他少数派服务构成之间的协作CSD指导计划的手册（例如，HBCUS） 和研究密集型大学。影响计划的长期成果包括成就和 保留URM学生在CSD职业中。反过来，这将支持NIDCD的更广泛的任务 通过促进思想多样性来改善URM人群中沟通障碍的结果， 临床CSD研究中的包容性评估和公平治疗。
