The overarching goal of the Student Training Core is to develop a multi-tiered program that would recruit students from within the current Xavier population and provide them with the research training necessary for admission and success in graduate school. Aim 1: Increase the number of Xavier students who are actively considering biomedical research careers, through career education. Level 1 of the BUILD student training program seeks to educate all STEM majors about career options that students may not know about or have never considered for themselves, to include graduate school and research-oriented careers. Career aptitude assessment will also take place. Aim 2: Increase the number of Xavier students who participate in research training activities. A key element in Level 2 is student-led discussion groups, where more advanced students will guide participants to research and discuss popular literature on STEM-oriented topics such as the effect of hydraulic fracking on groundwater and concerns about the toxicity of bisphenol A (BPA) in plastics. Also in Level 2, a series of research-oriented seminars are presented to all interested STEM majors. These events will include more focused information on research careers, and will help students obtain skills needed by researchers. Aim 3: Increase the number of Xavier students who have the opportunity to carry out independent research projects. This aim contributes to the overall goal of involving more students in meaningful, engaging undergraduate research experiences. Students who have shown active engagement in Level 2 discussion groups and have strong faculty recommendations will be designated as NIH BUILD Scholars. These Level 3 students will participate in independent research projects with faculty and student mentors, both at Xavier and at partner institutions as part of the relationship established through the Overall Program Aims. These students will receive scholarships, and will be expected to present their work at scientific conferences. NIH BUILD Scholars are highly encouraged to apply to graduate schools in biomedical fields.

学生培训核心的总体目标是开发一个多层次的计划，以招募 来自当前泽维尔人口中的学生，并为他们提供必要的研究培训 研究生院的录取和成功。目标 1：增加活跃的 Xavier 学生数量 通过职业教育考虑生物医学研究职业。 BUILD 学生培训的 1 级 该计划旨在向所有 STEM 专业的学生介绍学生可能不知道或不具备的职业选择 从未考虑过自己，包括研究生院和研究型职业。职业能力 还将进行评估。目标 2：增加 Xavier 学生参与研究的数量 培训活动。 2 级的一个关键要素是学生主导的讨论小组，其中更高级的学生 将引导参与者研究和讨论有关 STEM 主题的流行文献，例如效果 水力压裂对地下水的影响以及对塑料中双酚 A (BPA) 毒性的担忧。也在 第二级，向所有感兴趣的 STEM 专业学生举办一系列研究型研讨会。这些事件 将包括更多有关研究职业的信息，并将帮助学生获得以下领域所需的技能 研究人员。目标 3：增加有机会开展活动的 Xavier 学生数量 独立研究项目。这一目标有助于实现让更多学生参与的总体目标 有意义的、引人入胜的本科生研究经历。表现出积极参与的学生 在 2 级讨论组中并有强有力的教师推荐将被指定为 NIH BUILD 学者们。这些 3 级学生将与教师和学生一起参与独立研究项目 泽维尔和合作机构的导师，作为通过整体建立的关系的一部分 计划目标。这些学生将获得奖学金，并预计在 科学会议。 NIH BUILD 强烈鼓励学者申请以下国家的研究生院 生物医学领域。
