Project Summary/Abstract Developing a skilled biomedical workforce is critical for future economic and societal success. The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is a public university with a focus on STEM education. As an R1 research-active university, NJIT’s vision is to provide undergraduate students with research training and mentorship to produce the future generation of scientists and engineers. This training proposal aims to combine the strengths of the NJIT Biomedical Engineering, Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Environmental Science Departments to support seven undergraduate students per year to participate in a three year biomedical research immersion program. NJIT draws students from over 100 countries and conducts extensive outreach to women and underrepresented populations in STEM disciplines, ranking in the top 20 of campus ethnic diversity. Embracing the diversity of students at NJIT, this program will emphasize the training of underrepresented groups, with the goal of increasing participation in research and the transitioning to graduate programs. This program will augment NJIT’s existing culture of inclusivity, engaging students from all racial backgrounds, national origins, gender preferences and abilities. Program Training Objectives: To accomplish our mission, the program intends to: 1) increase the number of fellowship-supported UG students committed to finishing a Bachelor’s Thesis 2) increase the number of underrepresented groups in research through engagement in self-directed learning-based research experiences, 3) retain trainees for the 3 year training period and graduate within the predicted time to graduation 4) foster science and engineering identity through asset-based individualized research experiences, 5) increase the number of students who choose to pursue a research-focused higher degree program in a biomedical field, and 6) enhance the visibility and competitiveness of NJIT trainees in the biomedical field. Our overall training approach will be based on the Staged Self-Directed Learning model as a framework for a structured training program to assist students to grow into self-directed learners. The program comprises didactic training, career development activities, individualized mentorship, and two semesters of research for credit culminating in an undergraduate thesis and scientific dissemination. As an urban technological university serving one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the country, we hope to utilize this training program to prepare a competitive cohort of undergraduate students who, as future scientists and engineers, would help diversify the field of biomedical research.

项目摘要/摘要 发展熟练的生物医学劳动力对于未来的经济和社会成功至关重要。 新泽西理工学院（NJIT）是一所公立大学，专注于STEM 教育。作为R1研究活性大学，NJIT的愿景是为本科生提供 通过研究培训和心态，以产生未来的科学家和 工程师。该培训建议旨在结合NJIT生物医学的优势 工程，生物科学和化学和环境科学部门 每年支持七名本科生参加三年的生物医学研究 沉浸计划。 NJIT吸引了来自100多个国家的学生，并进行广泛的 在STEM学科中向妇女和人数不足的人口进行宣传，排名前20位 校园种族多样性。拥抱NJIT的学生多样性，该计划将 强调对代表性不足的群体的培训，目的是增加参与 研究和向研究生课程的过渡。该程序将增加NJIT的现有 包容性文化，吸引来自各种种族背景的学生，民族血统，性别 偏好和能力。计划培训目标：为了完成我们的使命，该计划 打算：1）增加致力于完成奖学金支持的UG学生的数量 学士学位论文2）通过 参与基于学习的研究经验，3）保留培训3年 培训期和毕业的毕业时间4）培养科学和 通过基于资产的个性化研究经验工程身份，5）增加 选择从 生物医学领域和6）增强了NJIT学员在 生物医学领域。我们的整体培训方法将基于上演的自我指导的学习 模型作为结构化培训计划的框架，以帮助学生成长为自我指导 学习者。该计划包括教学培训，职业发展活动，个性化的 属性和两个学期的学期学期，最终在本科论文和 科学传播。作为一所城市技术大学，服务于种族最多的大学之一 该国的不同人口，我们希望利用该培训计划来准备竞争性 作为未来科学家和工程师的本科生队列将有助于多样化 生物医学研究领域。
