Abstract: Developing a Digital Training and Assessment Platform to Disseminate a Successful NIH- Supported College Preparation Model for Diversifying the U.S. Biomedical Workforce This Phase 1 SBIR project will design and test a digital training and assessment platform—HSTA Hatch—to help geographic regions outside West Virginia (WV) establish workforce development programs for grade 9-12 youth from populations underrepresented in biomedical research and other healthcare and STEM fields. This work will be based on research and program delivery conducted over 27 years by the WV Health Sciences and Technology Academy (WV HSTA), an out-of-school-time science education model with proven success enhancing the diversity of WV’s biomedical workforce. It will be carried out by a small, woman-owned, economically disadvantaged business, Apis Creative (Grafton, WV). Apis has partnered with West Virginia University (WVU) and faculty from the University of Southern Mississippi, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Northern Illinois University, and Northwestern University to carry out this project. Specific aims are as follows: • Aim 1: Develop a digital platform for training research universities to found and operate HSTA-based college preparatory programs for high-school students from populations underrepresented in biomedical research, healthcare, and other STEM professions. • Aim 2: Develop a digital platform for assessing student outcomes in HSTA replication programs in comparison to outcomes of WV HSTA, which has shown to be successful. Resulting products will be independently evaluated by the WVU Survey Research Center and a panel of reviewers representing potential sites for full-scale replication and WV HSTA alumni, staff, and leadership. Team and Outlook The HSTA Hatch team has the necessary expertise in HSTA program replication and assessment, coaching and mentoring, training and materials development, and data collection and analysis to complete this project. Successful Phase 1 execution will set the stage for a Phase 2 project to field-test delivery of the HSTA Hatch platform through the initiation and foundation of full-scale HSTA replication programs at one or more partner sites. HSTA Hatch offers NIH and NIGMS the opportunity to develop a promising model for improving biomedical workforce recruitment and retention in underrepresented populations in non-WV settings and support wider adoption of the model to address the biomedical-engagement challenges faced nationally by such populations.

摘要：开发数字培训和评估平台来传播成功的 NIH- 支持大学预科模式，使美国生物医学劳动力多样化 该 SBIR 项目第一阶段将设计和测试数字培训和评估平台 - HSTA Hatch - 帮助西弗吉尼亚州 (WV) 以外的地理区域制定 9-12 年级劳动力发展计划 青年人口在生物医学研究和其他医疗保健和 STEM 领域的代表性不足。 这项工作将基于西弗吉尼亚州卫生局 27 年来进行的研究和项目交付 科学技术学院（WV HSTA），一种校外科学教育模式，经过验证 成功增强了西弗吉尼亚州生物医学劳动力的多样性 它将由一个小型的、女性拥有的、 经济上处于不利地位的企业 Apis Creative（西弗吉尼亚州格拉夫顿）与西弗吉尼亚州合作。 大学 (WVU) 和南密西西比大学、密西西比大学医学院的教员 中心、北伊利诺伊大学和西北大学共同开展该项目。 具体目标如下： • 目标 1：开发一个数字平台，用于培训研究型大学创建和运营基于 HSTA 的学院 为生物医学研究中代表性不足的人群的高中生提供预备课程， 医疗保健和其他 STEM 专业。 • 目标 2：开发一个数字平台，用于评估 HSTA 复制项目中学生的成绩 与 WV HSTA 的结果进行比较，后者已被证明是成功的。 由此产生的产品将由西弗吉尼亚大学调查研究中心和一个小组进行独立评估 代表潜在全面复制地点的审稿人以及 WV HSTA 校友、工作人员和领导层。 团队和展望 HSTA Hatch 团队在 HSTA 程序复制和 评估、辅导和指导、培训和材料开发以及数据收集和分析，以 第一阶段的成功执行将为第二阶段项目的现场测试奠定基础。 通过启动和建立全面的 HSTA 复制来交付 HSTA Hatch 平台 一个或多个合作伙伴站点的计划。 HSTA Hatch 为 NIH 和 NIGMS 提供了开发有前景的模型以改善生物医学的机会 在非西弗吉尼亚州的代表性不足的人群中招聘和保留劳动力，并支持更广泛的 采用该模型来解决此类人群在全国范围内面临的生物医学参与挑战。
