Young Scholars Program - Summer Research Participation Program

夏季研究参与项目目前在罗斯威尔公园纪念学院（纽约州立大学布法罗分校）开展了35年。该研究所是世界上最古老、规模最大的综合性癌症中心之一。它是为高能力的高中毕业生设计的。这些课程的目标是：1)教授每个学生在研究中使用的功能性科学事实、原理和技术；2)让学生接触活跃的研究环境；3)让学生见证科学创新；4)培养每个学生作为科学研究者所需要的技能、习惯和态度；5)进一步培养学生的科学兴趣；6)帮助学员规划自己的科学学术生涯。学员通过在高级研究员的直接监督下在研究实验室实施研究项目来实现这些目标。其余时间用于参加在研究所举办的生物学、化学和生物物理学特定领域的正式讲座和研讨会。项目是由他们的高级研究员分配给学生的，他是他们的暑期导师。教育部门协助高级调查员选择学生，以确保学生的兴趣和项目的目标得以实现。寻求高级研究员和学生之间一对一的关系，以促进学习过程。

The Summer Research Participation Program is currently in its thirty- fifth year of operation at Roswell Park Memorial Institute (SUNY- Buffalo). The institute is the oldest and one of the largest comprehensive cancer centers in the world. It is designed for high ability high school seniors. The objectives of the programs are: 1) to teach each student functional scientific facts, principles and techniques employed in research; 2) to expose students to an active research environment; 3) to allow the students to witness scientific creativity; 4) to develop in each student the skills, habits and attitudes required by scientific investigators; 5) to further develop the students interest in science; and 6) to help the trainee in planning his/her academic career in science. The trainees fulfill these objectives by implementing a research project in a research laboratory under direct supervision of a senior investigator. The remaining time is spent attending formal lectures and seminars in specific areas of biology, chemistry and biophysics conducted at the Institute. Projects are assigned to students by their senior investigator who serves as their summer mentor. The Education Department assists senior investigators in the selection of students to insure that the students' interests and the objectives of the program are fulfilled. A one-to- one relationship between senior investigator and student is sought to facilitate the learning process.
