Project Summary/Abstract Developing a skilled biomedical workforce is critical for future economic and societal success. The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is a public university with a focus on STEM education. As an R1 research-active university, NJIT’s vision is to provide undergraduate students with research training and mentorship to produce the future generation of scientists and engineers. This training proposal aims to combine the strengths of the NJIT Biomedical Engineering, Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Environmental Science Departments to support seven undergraduate students per year to participate in a three year biomedical research immersion program. NJIT draws students from over 100 countries and conducts extensive outreach to women and underrepresented populations in STEM disciplines, ranking in the top 20 of campus ethnic diversity. Embracing the diversity of students at NJIT, this program will emphasize the training of underrepresented groups, with the goal of increasing participation in research and the transitioning to graduate programs. This program will augment NJIT’s existing culture of inclusivity, engaging students from all racial backgrounds, national origins, gender preferences and abilities. Program Training Objectives: To accomplish our mission, the program intends to: 1) increase the number of fellowship-supported UG students committed to finishing a Bachelor’s Thesis 2) increase the number of underrepresented groups in research through engagement in self-directed learning-based research experiences, 3) retain trainees for the 3 year training period and graduate within the predicted time to graduation 4) foster science and engineering identity through asset-based individualized research experiences, 5) increase the number of students who choose to pursue a research-focused higher degree program in a biomedical field, and 6) enhance the visibility and competitiveness of NJIT trainees in the biomedical field. Our overall training approach will be based on the Staged Self-Directed Learning model as a framework for a structured training program to assist students to grow into self-directed learners. The program comprises didactic training, career development activities, individualized mentorship, and two semesters of research for credit culminating in an undergraduate thesis and scientific dissemination. As an urban technological university serving one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the country, we hope to utilize this training program to prepare a competitive cohort of undergraduate students who, as future scientists and engineers, would help diversify the field of biomedical research.

项目概要/摘要 培养熟练的生物医学劳动力对于未来经济和社会的成功至关重要。 新泽西理工学院 (NJIT) 是一所专注于 STEM 的公立大学 作为一所 R1 研究型大学，NJIT 的愿景是为本科生提供教育。 通过研究培训和指导来培养下一代科学家 该培训计划旨在结合 NJIT 生物医学的优势。 工程、生物科学、化学和环境科学系 每年支持七名本科生参加为期三年的生物医学研究 NJIT 的沉浸式课程吸引了来自 100 多个国家的学生，并开展了广泛的活动。 在 STEM 学科中对女性和代表性不足人群的推广，排名前 20 该项目将拥抱新泽西理工学院学生的多样性。 强调对代表性不足的群体进行培训，以提高其参与度 研究和向研究生项目的过渡将增强新泽西理工学院现有的能力。 包容性文化，吸引来自所有种族背景、国籍、性别的学生 偏好和能力 计划培训目标：为了完成我们的使命，该计划。 旨在： 1) 增加致力于完成学业的受奖学金支持的 UG 学生数量 学士论文 2) 通过以下方式增加研究中代表性不足的群体的数量 参与基于自主学习的研究经验，3）保留受训者 3 年 培训期间并在预计毕业时间内毕业 4）培养科学和 通过基于资产的个性化研究经验来设计身份，5）增加 选择攻读以研究为重点的更高学位课程的学生数量 生物医学领域，6）提高NJIT学员在生物医学领域的知名度和竞争力 我们的整体培训方法将基于分阶段自主学习。 模型作为结构化培训计划的框架，帮助学生成长为自我导向的人 该计划包括教学培训、职业发展活动、个性化培训。 指导，以及两个学期的学分研究，最终形成本科论文和 作为一所服务于最具民族特色的城市科技大学。 该国的不同人群，我们希望利用这个培训计划来准备有竞争力的 作为未来科学家和工程师的本科生群体将有助于实现多元化 生物医学研究领域。
