PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The proposed project addresses the problem of low diversity in biomedical and behavioral research by continuing and improving the University of Florida (UF) MARC program. The program will recruit 30 undergraduate trainees from underrepresented (UR) backgrounds and place them with NIH-funded faculty mentors for up to three years of continuous research mentorship within an integrated training environment. The overall program is designed to increase each trainee's technical, operational, and professional development skills for biomedical and behavioral research, promote each trainee's academic performance, and enhance each trainee's mental health and wellness, with the goal of increasing motivation and preparation for transitioning to a competitive PhD program. The program recruited its first trainee cohort in 2017 and appointed 17 trainees through 2020 (four more have been selected for 2021). All 12 trainees who have since graduated were accepted to competitive PhD programs (10) or directly entered the biomedical workforce (2). The program includes 15 undergraduate degree programs at UF in which ca. 3,300 students (30%) are from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups and ca. 1,000 (9%) are students with disabilities. The proposed MARC program has six measurable performance targets: 1) recruit 30 trainees (10 as rising sophomores and 20 as rising juniors), 2) at least 93% trainee retention, 3) 100% participation in an extramural research experience, 4) at least 93% 4-year graduation rate (5-yr for engineering majors), 5) at least 75% authorship on a research publication, and 6) at least 90% matriculation to a PhD or MD/PhD program within two years. The training plan includes continuous participation in research mentored by a faculty research mentor and an integrated curriculum of courses and activities. The proposed program includes three novel, innovative projects: development of two Data Science and Research Computing courses that provide training in biomedical applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning, biweekly trainee participation Mental Health & Wellness Process Groups led by senior psychiatry residents, and development of workshops to train graduate students and postdoctoral students in mentoring undergraduates in research environments. Resources from these novel projects will be open and exportable. Program outcomes will be continuously monitored, and adjustments made whenever indicated.

项目概要/摘要 拟议的项目解决了生物医学和行为方面多样性低的问题 通过继续和改进佛罗里达大学 (UF) MARC 项目进行研究。这 该计划将招募 30 名来自代表性不足 (UR) 背景的本科生学员， 让他们与 NIH 资助的教师导师一起进行长达三年的持续研究 综合培训环境中的指导。总体方案旨在 提高每位学员的技术、操作和专业发展技能 生物医学和行为研究，提高每位学员的学业成绩，以及 增强每位学员的心理健康和健康，以提高动力和 为过渡到竞争性博士课程做好准备。该计划招募了第一名 2017 年培训生队列，并在 2020 年任命了 17 名培训生（另外 4 名已选拔） 2021 年）。毕业后的所有 12 名学员均被录取为竞争性博士学位 项目（10）或直接进入生物医学劳动力（2）。该计划包括 15 佛罗里达大学的本科学位课程，其中约。 3,300 名学生 (30%) 来自 代表性不足的种族/族裔群体和大约。 1,000 名（9%）是残疾学生。这 拟议的 MARC 计划有六个可衡量的绩效目标： 1) 招募 30 名学员（10 名） 即将升入大二的学生和 20 名即将升入大三的学生），2）至少 93% 的学员保留率，3）100% 参与校外研究经历，4) 至少 93% 4 年毕业率（5 年毕业率） 对于工程专业），5）研究出版物中至少有 75% 的作者，并且 6）至少 90% 的学生在两年内入读博士或医学博士/博士课程。培训计划包括 持续参与由教师研究导师和综合研究人员指导的研究 课程和活动的课程表。拟议的计划包括三个新颖的、创新的 项目：开发两门数据科学和研究计算课程，提供 人工智能和机器学习生物医学应用培训，每两周一次 学员参与由高级精神病学专家领导的心理健康和保健流程小组 住院医师培训，以及举办培训研究生和博士后的讲习班 在研究环境中指导本科生。来自这些新颖项目的资源 将开放并可导出。将持续监测计划成果，并且 每当有指示时进行调整。
