项目摘要

Project Abstract/Summary The overall goal of this R25 application is to provide unique research and education opportunities to current underrepresented minority undergraduate students at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). Specifically, we will expose these students to the disciplines of biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research with the ultimate goal of enriching diversity in individuals who will represent the future in biomedical research in topics areas related to the mission of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. UTA is a minority majority institution that ranks among the top 5 in the nation for student ethnic diversity. As of fall 2020 UTA had a total of ~48,000 full time on-campus students, the majority of which are undergraduate students (~35,000). The undergraduate student body is comprised of 31% Hispanic, 15% African American, 13% Asian, and 5% International. In 2021 the U.S News and World Report ranked UTA fifth in the nation among institutions of higher education for ethnic diversity. Furthermore, UTA is ranked #1 in the nation for “Best for Vets: Colleges” by the “Military Times”, thus is ideally suited to accomplish the objective of increasing diversity in health-related research. We will enroll two separate cohorts of underrepresented minority students: First, our selection committee will identify 10 outstanding sophomore, junior, and senior level undergraduate students from UTA (each year) to participate in a “laboratory-based” summer research education experience. Second, our selection committee will identify up to 40 underrepresented minority sophomore, junior, and senior level undergraduate students to participate in a “classroom only” summer research education experience. Each cohort will participate in a 10-week summer research / educational program, beginning the first week of June each year. Students in the “laboratory-based” cohort will be assigned a primary faculty mentor who will supervise them in conducting fulltime research related activities Monday through Thursday. On Friday’s, both cohorts come together for a joint “classroom-based” research education experience, covering a wide range of topics related to biomedical research ranging from Professional Development to the Responsible Conduct of Research. Students will also engage with URM faculty and graduate students every Friday through a series of research seminars. The primary outcomes / metrics of success will include: 1) Returning to the program for more than one summer experience (particularly for the classroom-based cohort who will be strongly encouraged to reapply the following year for the laboratory-based experience). 2) Successful completion of an undergraduate degree in a STEM field. 3) Applying for competitive fellowships for graduate school or other advanced degrees. 4) Enrollment in an advanced degree program in a STEM field. And 5) Subsequent participation in research or employment in a STEM field.

项目摘要/总结该 R25 应用程序的总体目标是为当前的研究和教育机会提供独特的研究和教育机会。德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校 (UTA) 的少数民族本科生人数不足。我们将使这些学生接触生物医学、行为和临床研究学科，并获得最终的结果丰富个人多样性的目标，这些个人将代表主题领域生物医学研究的未来与国家心肺和血液研究所的使命相关的是，UTA 是一个少数派多数的机构。截至 2020 年秋季，UTA 共有约 48,000 名学生，在学生种族多样性方面名列全国前 5 名。在校学生，其中大多数是本科生（约 35,000 人）。 2021 年，学生群体包括 31% 的西班牙裔学生、15% 的非裔美国人、13% 的亚洲学生和 5% 的国际学生。《美国新闻与世界报道》将 UTA 评为全国少数民族高等教育机构中第五名此外，UTA 在《军事时报》的“最适合退伍军人：大学”排名中名列全国第一。非常适合实现增加健康相关研究多样性的目标，我们将招收两名学生。代表性不足的少数族裔学生的单独群体：首先，我们的选拔委员会将确定 10 名 UTA优秀研究生、大三、高年级本科生（每年）参加其次，我们的选拔委员会将确定“基于实验室”的暑期研究教育经历。 40 名少数族裔、低年级和高年级本科生参加 “仅限课堂”的暑期研究教育体验。每个班级将参加为期 10 周的暑期课程。研究/教育计划，每年六月第一周开始“基于实验室”的学生。队列将被分配一名主要教师导师，他将监督他们进行全职研究相关周一到周四的活动，两个小组聚集在一起进行联合“课堂”活动。研究教育经验，涵盖与生物医学研究相关的广泛主题，包括负责任的研究行为的专业发展学生还将与 URM 教师互动。和研究生每周五通过一系列研究研讨会了解主要成果/指标。成功将包括： 1) 重返该项目并获得超过一次暑期经历（特别是对于强烈鼓励以课堂为基础的队列，他们将在下一年重新申请以实验室为基础的课程 2) 成功完成 STEM 领域的本科学位 3) 申请竞争性课程。研究生院或其他高级学位的奖学金 4) 入读高级学位课程。 STEM 领域。5) 随后参与 STEM 领域的研究或就业。
