The Mississippi IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (Grant P20GM103476) launched the new Mississippi INBRE Outreach Scholars (MIOS) summer research program in 2019. The program was designed to offer students community outreach and research experiences related to the study of behavioral and health disparities life sciences. The program was adapted in early 2020 to offer the program in a fully online format in the summer of 2020. This article details the program adaptations and discusses program evaluation data related to scholars' perceptions of program benefits and expectations and their confidence in research-related skills. The program evaluation was a mixed-method approach that included a qualitative postprogram survey and a pre-post quantitative survey. Scholars identified technical and communication skill building and resilience as areas of personal growth. Overall, the program met scholars' expectations for the program and significantly improved their confidence on 8 of the 19 (with confidence interval estimated differences from 0.3 to 2.56, where a difference of 1 is an improvement across 1 anchor on a Likert-type scale) various research-related tasks/skills after completion of the program. The analyses presented demonstrated that a combined qualitative and quantitative analysis approach is useful for examining the extent to which programs such as Mississippi INBRE are meeting goals of providing a rich research experience in health disparities for a diverse student body. Future longitudinal data may be examined to explore the long-term impact of MIOS on career preparation and choices and graduate education. The Mississippi INBRE Outreach Scholars program is a summer research program for Mississippi college students that was successfully adapted to a fully online environment amidst the coronavirus-19 pandemic.
由国家普通医学科学研究所（Grant P20GM103476）支持的密西西比 IDEA 网络生物医学卓越研究（INBRE）于 2019 年启动了新的密西西比 INBRE 外展学者（MIOS）暑期研究计划。该计划旨在为学生提供与行为和健康差异生命科学研究相关的社区外展和研究经验。该计划于 2020 年初进行了调整，以便在 2020 年夏季以完全在线的形式提供该计划。本文详细介绍了该计划的调整，并讨论了与学者对计划收益和期望的看法以及他们对与研究相关的技能的信心相关的计划评估数据。该计划评估采用了混合方法，包括定性的项目后调查和定量的预-后调查。学者们确定了技术和沟通技能的培养以及适应力是个人成长的领域。总的来说，该计划满足了学者对该计划的期望，并显著提高了他们在完成计划后对 19 项与研究相关的任务/技能中的 8 项的信心（置信区间估计差异为 0.3 至 2.56，其中差异 1 表示在李克特量表上的 1 个锚点上的改进）。提出的分析表明，结合定性和定量分析方法对于检查密西西比 INBRE 等计划在为多元化学生群体提供丰富的健康差异研究经验方面达到目标的程度是有用的。未来可能会进行纵向数据分析，以探讨 MIOS 对职业准备和选择以及研究生教育的长期影响。密西西比 INBRE 外展学者计划是一项针对密西西比州大学生的暑期研究计划，该计划在冠状病毒病-19 大流行期间成功调整为完全在线环境。
