PROJECT SUMMARY/ ABSTRACT There is an urgent need to increase the numbers and diversity of prepared graduates joining the biomedical workforce, through reasoned, evidence-based approaches that follow scientific practices. Florida International University's Engaging and Mentoring through Biomedical Research And Career Exploration (EMBRACE) project will leverage existing evidence to increase the diversity of the biomedical research workforce through coordinated activities including, intentional career development opportunities, authentic student research experiences, and strategic faculty professional development. FIU is an urban Hispanic-serving research-intensive (R1) public institution with over 58,000 students, 80% of which are from groups that are underrepresented in biomedicine. EMBRACE centers on programming that will leverage FIU's extensive expertise in student success, diversity, equity, and inclusion and focus on programming that transforms students' access to biomedical research experiences and career awareness and preparation. EMBRACE aims to 1) support the development of essential biomedical career skills to ensure students are prepared to pursue future biomedical research paths; 2) increase student access to authentic research experiences to promote development of essential research skills; 3) provide leadership opportunities for undergraduate students, and 4) create an informed, proactive institutional community that collectively supports STEM students in biomedical career exploration and development. EMBRACE will offer a novel research and career development experience sequence to increase access to research opportunities, starting with a 1-week research exploration, continuing with increasingly immersive experiences in a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) and follow-up novel Course- based Undergraduate Research Internship Experience (CURIE), and culminating in research leadership opportunities as undergraduate research peer mentors. Students will receive career professional development to promote essential professional skills, awareness of biomedical research career paths, and create opportunities for students to network with faculty, alumni, and scientists. The research curriculum will focus on investigating infectious diseases through the lens of bioinformatics, considering the importance to improve bioinformatics skills among the biomedical workforce and the possibility of providing access to safely conduct infectious pathogen cutting-edge research. Additionally, the project will provide faculty professional development to faculty teaching across the biology degree program to become effective mentors in their large-enrollment classrooms and provide students with guidance and strategies to support their readiness for potential biomedical careers. The integrated research and career support activities, organized longitudinally through the biology degree program, will support a diverse group of undergraduate students to pursue advanced studies and join the biomedical research workforce.

项目概要/摘要 迫切需要增加加入该行业的准备好的毕业生的数量和多样性 生物医学劳动力，通过遵循科学实践的合理、基于证据的方法。 佛罗里达国际大学通过生物医学研究和职业进行参与和指导 探索（EMBRACE）项目将利用现有证据来增加生物医学的多样性 研究人员通过协调活动，包括有意的职业发展机会， 真实的学生研究经验和战略性教师专业发展。金融情报机构是一个城市 为西班牙裔服务的研究密集型 (R1) 公立机构，拥有超过 58,000 名学生，其中 80% 是 来自生物医学领域代表性不足的群体。拥抱的中心是编程 利用佛罗里达国际大学在学生成功、多样性、公平和包容性方面的广泛专业知识，并专注于 改变学生获得生物医学研究经验和职业意识的编程 和准备。 EMBRACE 旨在 1) 支持基本生物医学职业技能的发展 确保学生准备好追求未来的生物医学研究道路； 2）增加学生接触 真实的研究经验，促进基本研究技能的发展； 3）提供领导 为本科生提供机会，4) 创建一个信息丰富、积极主动的机构社区， 共同支持 STEM 学生的生物医学职业探索和发展。拥抱将 提供新颖的研究和职业发展经验序列，以增加获得研究的机会 机会，从为期 1 周的研究探索开始，继续越来越身临其境 基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURE）和后续新颖课程的经验- 基于本科生研究实习经验（CURIE），并最终获得研究领导力 担任本科生研究同伴导师的机会。学生将获得职业专业 发展以促进基本的专业技能、生物医学研究职业道路的意识，以及 为学生创造与教师、校友和科学家建立联系的机会。研究课程 将重点通过生物信息学的视角研究传染病，考虑到 提高生物医学人员生物信息学技能的重要性以及提供 能够安全地进行传染性病原体的前沿研究。此外，该项目还将提供 教师专业发展到整个生物学学位课程的教师教学成为 在招生人数众多的课堂上提供有效的导师，并为学生提供指导和策略 支持他们为潜在的生物医学职业做好准备。综合研究和职业支持 通过生物学学位课程纵向组织的活动将支持多样化的群体 本科生继续深造并加入生物医学研究队伍。
