PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The University of California, Los Angeles proposes to serve as a Coordinating Center for the Western Region for the NIH-NIDDK NIDDK Short-Term Experience Program to Unlock Potential (STEP-UP) Program. The UCLA STEP-UP will provide an enriched summer research experience for promising high school students from underrepresented racial/ethnic minority (URM) groups as well as students from other groups underrepresented (URG) in medicine and science. The overarching goal of the UCLA STEP-UP is to prepare participating students for research careers in the biomedical and clinical health sciences. The paucity of participation from URM and URG communities in the scientific research workforce is a critical limitation affecting the future of health research, and ultimately our nation’s health. Access to a high-quality biomedical science education required for a research career remains largely influenced by factors such as socioeconomic class, race/ethnicity, gender and/or national origin. There is a critical need to motivate and equip URM and URG high school students with the requisite skill set to critically understand, explore and engage in scientific research, as well as the confidence and communication skill set required for advancement in scientific careers. Early interventions in the high school education timeline can help to build a diverse and inclusive scientific workforce. The Program’s main components include: 1) Understanding responsible conduct of research, 2) Exposure to scientific research environments, 3) Developing relationships with research mentors, 4) Basic statistics, 5) Use of common laboratory equipment, 6) Development of a research abstract, 7) Lessons in health disparities, and how biomedical research can improve health outcomes, 8) College planning, 9) Research presentation skills, and 10) Scientific career exploration. The Program’s overarching goal is to increase the number of URM and URG high school students prepared to pursue careers in NIDDK mission area related biomedical and clinical health sciences. To this end, the Specific Aims are as follows: Specific Aim 1: To engage 25 URM or URG high school students in the US Western Region each year in a mentored, summer scientific research experience in basic, clinical, or translational research related to conditions within the NIDDK mission. Specific Aim 2: To provide 25 URM or URG high school students each year with an end of program opportunity to present written reports and PowerPoint presentations based on their summer research projects at the annual NIDDK STEP-UP research symposium on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Specific Aim 3: To evaluate the effectiveness of the UCLA STEP-UP to prepare 25 URM or URG high school students each year to conduct biomedical research, engage with research mentors, produce a scientific presentation, enhance their desire to pursue and successfully graduate with a STEM undergraduate major, and pursue graduate programs in a science-related field focusing on NIDDK mission areas.

项目概要/摘要 加州大学洛杉矶分校提议担任西部地区协调中心 NIH-NIDDK NIDDK 释放潜力短期体验计划 (STEP-UP) 计划。 UCLA STEP-UP 将为来自以下地区的有前途的高中生提供丰富的暑期研究经验 代表性不足的种族/少数民族 (URM) 群体以及来自其他代表性不足群体的学生 (URG) 医学和科学领域 UCLA STEP-UP 的总体目标是为参与做好准备。 在生物医学和临床健康科学领域从事研究工作的学生。 URM 和 URG 社区在科学研究队伍中的参与度较低是一个关键问题 限制影响健康研究的未来，并最终影响我们国家获得高质量的健康。 研究生涯所需的生物医学科学教育仍然在很大程度上受到以下因素的影响 社会经济阶层、种族/民族、性别和/或国籍 迫切需要激励和装备。 URM 和 URG 高中生具备批判性理解、探索和参与的必要技能 科学研究，以及科学进步所需的信心和沟通技巧 对高中教育时间表的早期干预有助于建立多元化和包容性的职业生涯。 该计划的主要组成部分包括： 1) 了解科学工作者的负责任行为。 研究，2) 接触科学研究环境，3) 与研究导师发展关系，4) 基础统计，5) 常用实验室设备的使用，6) 研究摘要的编写，7) 经验教训 健康差异，以及生物医学研究如何改善健康结果，8) 大学规划，9) 研究 演讲技巧，以及 10) 科学职业探索 该计划的总体目标是提高 准备在 NIDDK 任务领域从事相关职业的 URM 和 URG 高中生数量 为此，生物医学和临床健康科学的具体目标如下： 具体目标 1：每年让美国西部地区 25 名 URM 或 URG 高中生参与 在与条件相关的基础、临床或转化研究方面有指导的暑期科学研究经验 NIDDK 的使命范围内。 具体目标 2：每年为 25 名 URM 或 URG 高中生提供课程结束 有机会根据他们的夏季研究项目提交书面报告和 PowerPoint 演示文稿 年度 NIDDK STEP-UP 研究研讨会在马里兰州贝塞斯达 NIH 校区举行。 具体目标 3：评估 UCLA STEP-UP 为 25 所 URM 或 URG 高中做准备的有效性 学生每年进行生物医学研究，与研究导师合作，产生科学成果 演示，增强他们追求并成功毕业 STEM 本科专业的愿望，以及 攻读科学相关领域的研究生课程，重点关注 NIDDK 的使命领域。
