项目摘要

Abstract Increasing diversity and inclusiveness within the Pediatric Neurosciences workforce will help close the gap in health disparities and accelerate research efforts that will lead to new treatments for pediatric brain disorders. Minority populations are affected by cognitive and neurological conditions at a rate higher than other groups, yet they are involved in neuroscience research at a much lower rate. The NIH/NINDS has demonstrated leadership in addressing this critical disparity by creating an NINDS Office of Programs to Enhance Neuroscience Workforce Diversity (OPEN) and developing specific individual and institutional funding opportunities to promote inclusion across the NINDS scientific portfolio. The current proposal will create the St. Louis Summer Research Immersion Program in Pediatric Neuroscience (SSRIP) to provide an innovative research training experience to high school students who might not otherwise have access to such opportunities. This R25 research education program is both innovative and responsive to the priorities of the NINDS. It directly addresses the stated priorities of the NINDS to eliminate disparities in the Pediatric Neurosciences workforce, enhance creativity and innovation through diverse representation, broaden the scope of biomedical inquiry, and ensure fairness in our diverse nation. Further, the SSRIP models the NIH Scientific Diversity Toolkit by developing all four key focus areas: 1) a diverse candidate pool; 2) unbiased talent searches; 3) outreach and networking; and 4) mentoring relationships. Washington University's educational environment presents an ideal context and substantial existing infrastructure to develop this unique training program. Thus, in addressing PAR-21-168, SSRIP will advance the collective mission of the NINDS, WUSM, and the St. Louis community of enhancing the diversity and inclusiveness of the Pediatric Neurosciences research workforce both locally and more broadly.

抽象的提高儿科神经科学劳动力的多样性和包容性将有助于缩小儿童神经科学领域的差距健康差异并加速研究工作，从而开发出儿童脑部疾病的新疗法。少数族裔受认知和神经系统疾病影响的比例高于其他群体，但他们参与神经科学研究的比例要低得多。 NIH/NINDS 展现了领导力通过创建 NINDS 增强神经科学劳动力计划办公室来解决这一严重差距多元化（OPEN）并开发特定的个人和机构资助机会以促进包容性涵盖 NINDS 的科学组合。目前的提案将创建圣路易斯夏季研究沉浸项目儿科神经科学 (SSRIP) 项目为高中提供创新的研究培训体验否则可能无法获得此类机会的学生。这个 R25 研究教育计划是既具有创新性，又响应 NINDS 的优先事项。它直接解决了既定的优先事项 NINDS 旨在消除儿科神经科学劳动力的差异，增强创造力和创新能力通过多元化的代表性，扩大生物医学调查的范围，并确保我们多元化的公平性国家。此外，SSRIP 通过开发所有四个关键重点领域来模拟 NIH 科学多样性工具包：1) 多元化的候选人库； 2）公正的人才搜寻； 3）外展和网络； 4）指导关系。华盛顿大学的教育环境提供了理想的背景和充实的现有的基础设施来开发这个独特的培训计划。因此，在寻址 PAR-21-168 时，SSRIP 将推进 NINDS、WUSM 和圣路易斯社区增强多样性的集体使命以及当地和更广泛的儿科神经科学研究人员的包容性。
