项目摘要

This proposal is a competitive renewal of this STEP-UP program initially funded in 2007 and renewed in 2011 and 2016. The program is designed to provide short-term experience and training in biomedical research for undergraduate students from racial/ethnic-underrepresented groups, and for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Since 2016, the program has been jointly based at the University of Texas Long School of Medicine in San Antonio and the Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, PA under the direction of W. Brian Reeves, MD, Chair of Medicine at UTHSA and Gail Matters, PhD, Associate Professor at Penn State. The program has made targeted recruitment efforts through several minority student organizations which have resulted in a large increase in the number of applications received. Applications exceed available positions by a 5:1 ratio. The outcomes of the program have been excellent. 244 students have matriculated through the Penn State STEP-UP program since its inception with over 75% of students continuing on to higher education in biomedical fields and an additional 15% are employed in biomedical fields. The current proposal builds on the successes of the current STEP-UP program and significantly expands the mentoring activities to provide more sustained, year round, support to the students. The plan provides background and hands-on experience in research related to the mission of NIDDK. The plan also provides for technical advising and mentoring of students during their hands-on research experience at a summer-end research symposium and during the subsequent academic year. The aims of the proposal are: 1. Provide a hands-on research experience through which students will learn how discovery, clinical and translational research are conducted and the results are disseminated to others. 2. Provide year round research experiences, mentoring and career development activities to enhance entry and retention of students in biomedical research. The curriculum will also include discussions on normative standards of conduct, privacy and confidentiality issues, laboratory safety, research integrity, record keeping, data management, and communication skills. Although the primary goal of this proposal is to increase the number and competence of members of underrepresented groups in biomedical research, an important secondary benefit is to expand the proportion of underrepresented population who understand that life-style decisions have great consequences for their personal health and that of their family, friends and community.

该提案是该 STEP-UP 计划的竞争性更新，最初于 2007 年资助并更新 2011年和2016年。该计划旨在提供短期经验和培训针对种族/族裔代表性不足群体的本科生以及少数群体的生物医学研究来自弱势背景的学生。自 2016 年以来，该计划联合以德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校朗医学院和宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院在宾夕法尼亚州好时市，在 UTHSA 和 Gail 医学主席 W. Brian Reeves 医学博士的指导下 Matters，博士，宾夕法尼亚州立大学副教授。该计划做出了有针对性的招聘工作通过几个少数族裔学生组织，导致人数大幅增加收到的申请数。申请数量与可用职位的比例为 5:1。的结果计划非常出色。 244 名学生通过宾夕法尼亚州立大学 STEP-UP 录取自项目启动以来，超过 75% 的学生继续接受生物医学方面的高等教育另有 15% 受雇于生物医学领域。目前的提案建立在当前STEP-UP计划的成功，并显着扩展了指导活动全年为学生提供更持续的支持。该计划提供了背景和与 NIDDK 使命相关的研究实践经验。该计划还规定了技术在暑期结束时为学生的实践研究经验提供建议和指导研究研讨会和随后的学年。该提案的目标是： 1. 提供实践研究经验，让学生了解如何发现、临床和进行转化研究并将结果传播给其他人。 2. 常年提供研究经验、指导和职业发展活动，以提高进入和保留从事生物医学研究的学生。课程还将包括对规范标准的讨论行为、隐私和保密问题、实验室安全、研究诚信、记录保存、数据管理和沟通技巧。尽管该提案的主要目标是增加生物医学研究中代表性不足群体成员的数量和能力，重要的次要好处是扩大代表性不足的人口比例了解生活方式的决定会对他们的个人健康及其他人的健康产生重大影响家人、朋友和社区。
