| National Institues of Health (NIH) Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health Related Research |
Researcher and student complete supplement application for NIH Award. Award allows student to join basic science research team for 12 weeks for 2 summers, attend research seminars, enrichment programs, and present research at national meeting. |
| Minority Health Education Research Office Summer Research Opportunities |
Opportunity to join a research team and work in basic science research laboratory full-time for one summer. Opportunities to attend research seminars, enrichment program, and present research poster at end of summer. |
| Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research |
National Science Foundation funded opportunity to work on a research team in basic science research laboratory full-time for one summer. Opportunities to attend research seminars, enrichment program, meet students from other campuses for enrichment activities, and present research poster at end of summer and at annual meeting. |
| Summer Medical and Dental Education Program (SMDEP) |
Intensive academic science review, opportunities to interact with current graduate students, weekly clinical learning opportunities. |
| Summer Research - VCU, UNMC, UVA, EVMS |
Full-time summer research experience, enrichment seminars, and poster presentation at end of summer. |
| Summer MCAT Program |
A summer experience at the University of Richmond that includes professional guidance for the MCATs and other health professional prerequisites. |
| Bon-Secours Nursing Program |
|
| Richmond Ambulance Authority Fellowships |
A semester long fellowship to research health care policy issues that impact on the provision of services, and the design of an integrated delivery model that would direct those accessing the Emergency Medical Services System. |
| Summer Research Experience (High School) |
Students would participate in an innovative program that introduces them to the health sciences, through an early educational initiative that fosters academic achievement, career development and enrichment experiences in the health sciences. Students would participate in a researched based curriculum that conforms to the standards of learning and incorporates the core academic subjects of science, math and reading. Students would have an opportunity to see first hand the relationship between academic preparation and skills needed to be successful in the health care arena. Alliance medical and research professionals would provide hands on activities that stimulate and encourage student learning. |

| Faculty Exchange Program |
The Faculty Exchange Program would provide opportunities for Alliance faculty members to visit between and among campuses in order to conduct seminars, workshops, and other scholarly presentations. These presentations will be intended to spawn opportunities for collaborative teaching and research, either through the above Faculty Fellowships, or through other relationships that develop through the exchanges. A typical presentation would involve members of a research team each giving a series of presentations that together describe a program of research that is of mutual interest to the AMC and to the HBCU. |
| Faculty Development Fellowship |
The Faculty Development Fellowships provide prolonged face-to-face mentoring opportunities between seasoned (Academic Medical Centers (AMC) researchers and junior HBCU faculty who are seeking careers as an independent researchers in the health sciences. The Faculty Development Fellowship Program would begin with an 8-10 week summer experience for the junior faculty investigator as a collaborator in the laboratory or clinical research program of a seasoned (usually NIH-funded) investigator. The summer experience would provide the opportunity for the junior faculty member to begin and/or refine his/her research focus. Junior investigators will be paired with senior investigators according to the match of mutual interests and lines of investigation. During the summer, the junior faculty member and senior faculty member would team up to write a minority supplement to the senior faculty member’s award. This supplement would be used to buy-down the faculty member's teaching load at the HBCU, so that they could work on research with the parent grant rather than teach at the HBCU. These minority supplements are quick turnaround, and are administratively buy not competitively reviewed. Administrative review can produce funding within 3 months of submission. The NIH award would in turn allow the junior faculty member to continue the line of investigation begun during the summer. The goal is for the funded research to lead to an R-01 in the name of the HBCU and with the minority investigator as Principal Investigator. Naturally, one would expect such R-01s to still involve the parent lab or research program at the AMC in some way. The ultimate goal also is for the junior investigator to evolve into a senior investigator with his/her own independent line of research and trainees at the HBCU. |
