Among top ranked research-intensive Schools of Nursing, awards to non-nurse Principal Investigators (PIs) averaged 34.5% across all years. The percentage of NIH funds awarded to non-nurse PIs ranged from 0% at 3 Schools to as high as 97% at 1 School of Nursing. Over the past 5 years, the following Institutes have consistently been the largest funders (total dollars) to Schools of Nursing NINR, National Institute of Aging, National Institute of Minority and Health Disparities, National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. CONCLUSION These findings highlight the current funding streams for Schools of Nursing as well as opportunities for expansion. Preparing a cadre of nurse scientists who can generate new knowledge to advance our health care is critical to the success of our profession and to ensuring the health of the people for whom we provide care. As the demographics in the United States continue to change, nurses must deliver care to patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Cultural humility is a lifelong process of self-reflection which is also defined by that individual. It allows an individual to be open to other people's identities, which is core to the nursing standard of providing holistic care. Embracing and incorporating cultural humility is essential for creating a comprehensive and individualized plan of care. One of the ways to achieve cultural humility in nursing is to train future faculty to become agents of cultural humility. This also helps to create a pipeline of nurses who have respect and empathy for the patients they serve. The aims of this paper include 1) define cultural humility and its importance to healthcare professionals; 2) explore the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and system levels of cultural humility; 3) provide insight on how to promote cultural humility; 4) reflect on best practices across a variety of healthcare disciplines; and 5) provide suggestions for practice. BACKGROUND Nursing students from historically underrepresented ethnic minorities and disadvantaged background (HUREM-DB) groups often face barriers such as a lack of consistent financial resources, fewer professional role models, bias, and micro-inequities. Utilizing a multifaceted approach for support can be crucial to enhancing student success. PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT MENTORS2 mitigates some of the challenges for HUREM-DB nursing students with educational, cultural, social, and financial resources. Courageous dialogue (CD) was one required activity of MENTORS2 and included topics such as stress management, time management, and honors project preparation. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT Courageous dialogue sessions were conducted with 56 HUREM-DB undergraduate nursing students enrolled in a baccalaureate program. The number of evaluations submitted for a session averaged 17 (range 7-36). Courageous dialogue sessions allowed students to express views in a safe environment with opportunities for peer support, role modeling, open discussion, and problem solving. PROJECT OUTCOMES Student evaluations reflected an appreciation of the opportunity to share experiences and learn new skills, knowledge, and approaches to aid their success in nursing school and perhaps their entry into the profession of nursing. CONCLUSION Courageous dialogue can be an important part of a comprehensive strategy to support HUREM-DB nursing students academically, socially, and professionally. BACKGROUND A racially diverse registered nurse workforce could improve health outcomes for minority populations, and efforts to recruit students from underrepresented groups need to be strengthened. PURPOSE To explore the perceptions of nursing held by African American undergraduate non-nursing science majors within the context of their career ideals. METHOD Qualitative description was the research design utilized in this study. A purposive sample of 20 African American non-nursing science majors participated in semi-structured interviews. Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's (2014) coding processes for qualitative analysis were employed. RESULTS Three themes were identified that described career behavior, ideals, and the participants' perceptions of nursing as a career 1.) Career Development Internal and External Contributions, 2.) The Ideal Career Profession with Power, and 3.) Perception of Nursing A Limited Profession. Findings suggest African American science majors carry a significant burden to overcome stereotypes for themselves and their communities, thus desire careers with power and autonomy. CONCLUSION Careers in medicine were idealized whereas careers in nursing were devalued. MLT748 These college students often embraced careers in medicine due to, in part, the perceived ability to overcome stereotypes and simultaneously rejected nursing careers due to desire to avoid negatively stereotyped careers. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of plasma-treated leno weaved ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber placement on gap formation and microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of a bulk-fill composite in deep cavity. METHODS Resin composite molds (3 mm width, 4 mm depth) were treated with Clearfil SE Bond 2 and restored with 3 techniques (1) Surefil SDR flow (SDR) placed in bulk (BLK), (2) SDR placed in two unequal increments (INC) and (3) SDR placed after an increment of SDR placed with wetted polyethylene fiber (Ribbond Ultra) at the cavity floor (FRC). As a control, the cavities were bulk-filled with SDR and no bonding agent (n = 12). All the specimens were subjected to real-time and 3D imaging by SS-OCT (1330 nm) to calculate the total volume of gap formed (mm3) at the cavity floor and between the composite increments. For MTBS, the occlusal cavities of the similar dimensions (3 × 3 × 4 mm3) were prepared on extracted molars with similar composite placement techniques (BLK, INC and FRC). Aftereinforced increment acts as a shrinkage stress breaker and protects the bonded interface at deep dentin. BACKGROUND Molecular pathogenesis of Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is inconclusively documented from resource limited countries and hence there is a lack of available targeted therapy for clinical interventions. Compared to other breast cancer subtypes, TNBC is more aggressive, higher recurrence rate, and higher prevalence in younger premenopausal women. Sporadic literature indicates predominance of TNBC in all reported breast cancer cases from Northeast India. AIM This study was conducted to evaluate the candidature of panel of key molecular markers involved in the development and progression of TNBC for prognosis and futuristic tailored targeted therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the clinicopathological characterized and immunohistochemically screened the differential expression of key molecular markers involved in the development and progression of in TNBC cases vis-a-vis non-TNBC and autopsy-based control samples. RESULTS TNBC tends to display at an early reproductive age and is more aggressive in nature.
