Diabetes Institute Summer Interprofessional Research Experience (DISIRE) for Undergraduates - Abstract: This proposal seeks to develop a “Diabetes Institute Summer Interprofessional Research Experience (DISIRE) for Undergraduates”. The vision for the DISIRE education program is to increase the number of undergraduates from Appalachian backgrounds who pursue graduate programs in the biological sciences, health sciences or related fields. The Diabetes Institute at Ohio University will recruit a group of 8 to 10 participants each year, prioritizing students with limited research opportunities and exposure to graduate education in these disciplines. During the 8-week program, participants will work alongside experienced diabetes researchers, gaining hands-on experience in behavioral, clinical, and laboratory research. Recruitment efforts will target small liberal arts colleges and Appalachian universities that lack graduate programs or opportunities in diabetes. The DISIRE curriculum will be interdisciplinary-focused consisting of online instruction, weekly seminars, journal club didactics, a group capstone project, and research with a mentor. The online course will be an abridged version of “Diabetes: From Bench-to-Bedside”, an existing, comprehensive course that explores the genetics, physiology, treatment, self-management, and psychosocial care of diabetes. An innovative component of the DISIRE program is the group capstone project, a learning-pathway experience designed to encourage participants to think critically, develop problem-solving skills, encourage goal-setting, and promote teamwork. The capstone project will address an important issue or problem about diabetes on their college or university campuses. Thus, the capstone project will not only benefit the participants’ communities, but also serves to foster a life-long community engagement of participants, as they will be able to directly observe the benefit of the implementation of scientific knowledge. The apprentice-based research experience, which will develop research skills and build confidence in the participants, is a critical component of the DISIRE program. Each participant will design a research project with their selected mentor and be involved in all aspects of conducting research from hypothesis generation to dissemination of findings. The final research projects will be presented at a research symposium in conjunction with the other summer undergraduate programs and graduate programs at Ohio University. Project mentors will maintain a long-term mentoring relationship with participants and provide guidance and encouragement to the participants during the application process to graduate school.
