Abstract

The Hawai'i Pacific University Undergraduate Infrastructure Student Research Center (HUI SRC) is focused on increasing participation of historically underrepresented populations, such as Native Hawaiians, other Pacific Islanders (NHPI), and Filipinos, in tomorrow's biomedical and health research workforce. This is achieved by promoting engagement and competency in entrepreneurial biomedical and health research among undergraduate students. The HUI SRC was modeled after the Morgan State University ASCEND SRC funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. The HUI SRC is rooted in the Hawaiian cultural values of ho'oku'i, hui pu'ana, and lokahi, referring to the physical gathering space of the Student Research Center and the joining of people together around a unifying theme, in this case the pursuit of science. It is committed to intentionally engaging Indigenous knowledge and ways of doing in decolonizing research. This article describes the project and presents evaluation findings of the first year of implementation of the HUI SRC. The center was effective in increasing undergraduate students' science identity, academic self-concept, social self-concept, social support, peer support, and self-efficacy. These HUI SRC findings highlight the potential impact of undergraduate SRCs in expanding the pipeline of biomedical and health researchers from underrepresented populations, particularly among NHPI and Filipinos.

通过HUI SRC促进代表性不足学生的健康研究。
夏威夷太平洋大学本科生基础设施学生研究中心(HUI SRC)致力于增加历史上代表性不足的人口,如夏威夷原住民、其他太平洋岛民(NHPI)和菲律宾人,参与未来的生物医学和健康研究队伍。这是通过提高本科生在创业生物医学和健康研究方面的参与度和能力来实现的。HUI SRC是以美国国家普通医学科学研究所资助的摩根州立大学ASCEND SRC为模型的。HUI SRC植根于夏威夷文化价值观ho'oku'i、HUI-pu'ana和lokahi,指的是学生研究中心的物理聚会空间,以及人们围绕一个统一的主题团结在一起,在这种情况下是对科学的追求。它致力于有意让土著知识和做法参与非殖民化研究。本文介绍了该项目,并介绍了HUI SRC实施第一年的评估结果。该中心有效地提高了本科生的科学认同感、学术自我概念、社会自我概念、社交支持、同伴支持和自我效能感。HUI SRC的这些发现突出了本科生SRC在扩大生物医学和健康研究人员队伍方面的潜在影响,这些研究人员来自代表性不足的人群,特别是在NHPI和菲律宾人中。
