本文介绍了一个成功的本科研究模型，学生参与者从事跨学科研究项目的工作；在我们的情况下，在计算机科学与医学之间的边界。学生是由其他本科生，研究生，教职专家组成的研究团队的一部分，参加了较大小组内的专业发展和培训活动，并将其成果传播到特定于跨学科重点的东道机构或会议。最初三年（2005-2007）结束时的模型成果表明，跨学科模型成功地1）通过招募可能没有研究机会的学生，扩大了学生参与研究的参与，2）吸引了多样化的才华横溢的学生群进入科学，3）促进了计算机科学和医学信息学以及未来研究生研究的跨学科本科研究； 4）培训了各个研究阶段的学生，包括在会议上写作和介绍研究论文。
This paper presents a successful model for undergraduate research where student participants work on interdisciplinary research projects; in our case, at the frontier between computer science and medicine. Students are part of research teams comprised of other undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and medical experts, participate in professional development and training activities within the larger group, and disseminate their results at the host institutions or conferences specific to the interdisciplinary focus. The model outcomes at the end of the first three years (2005-2007) indicate that the interdisciplinary model successfully 1) expanded the student participation in research by recruiting students who might not otherwise have research opportunities, 2) attracted a diversified pool of talented students into science, 3) promoted interdisciplinary undergraduate studies in computer science and medical informatics as well as in future graduate studies; and 4) trained students in all phases of research, including writing and presenting research papers at conferences.
