Young Scholars Program - Summer Research Participation Program

夏季研究参与方案目前在罗斯威尔公园纪念学院(纽约州立大学布法罗分校)实施了35年。该研究所是世界上历史最悠久、规模最大的综合性癌症中心之一。它是为高能力的高中生设计的。该计划的目标是：1)向每个学生传授用于研究的实用科学事实、原则和技术；2)使学生接触到活跃的研究环境；3)让学生见证科学创造力；4)培养每个学生所需的技能、习惯和态度；5)进一步培养学生对科学的兴趣；6)帮助学员规划他/她的科学学术生涯。受训者通过在高级调查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。剩下的时间用于参加在研究所举办的生物、化学和生物物理特定领域的正式讲座和研讨会。项目由他们的资深调查员分配给学生，他们担任暑期导师。教育署协助高级调查人员挑选学生，以确保学生的兴趣和计划的目标得以实现。高级调查员和学生之间寻求一对一的关系，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.
