AbstractCNS-0452547PI: Alfred WeaverInstitution: University of VirginiaTitle: REU Site: Creating Computer Applications for MedicineThis project creates a new Research Experience for Undergraduates site focused on the development of new computer applications for medicine. Cohorts of undergraduate students participate in a ten-week summer research program engaging in a current medically-related research project at the host institution. Through their research the students should improve the quality of healthcare delivery by devising, developing, adapting, or inventing computer-based solutions to modern medical problems. The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the collaborative partners participating in the project. The project team includes faculty with significant expertise in engineering and engineering ethics as well as medical doctors to oversee the medical aspects of the projects. The students in the project have the opportunity to work with teams to develop solutions to problems that are relevant and critical in an emerging interdisciplinary field that combines computer science and medicine. The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to undergraduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups. The project provides community college students an opportunity to engage in research and actively pursue a full range of professional opportunities. Thus, the project has the potential to produce new computer science undergraduate and graduate students as well as future faculty members. The project team of computer science faculty, engineering ethics faculty, and physicians provides each student cohort a broad exposure to the technical, medical, ethical, and social issues related to their problems. Thus the project represents a quality educational and professional experience, which is innovative and challenging to the students.

摘要CNS-0452547PI：阿尔弗雷德·韦弗研究所：弗吉尼亚大学标题：REU网站：为医学创建计算机应用这个项目为本科生创建了一个新的研究体验网站，专注于开发新的计算机应用于医学。一批本科生参加为期十周的暑期研究项目，在主办机构从事当前与医学相关的研究项目。通过他们的研究，学生应该通过设计、开发、调整或发明基于计算机的解决方案来解决现代医学问题，从而提高医疗保健的质量。该项目的智力价值在于雄厚的研究基础和参与该项目的合作伙伴的专业知识。项目团队包括在工程和工程伦理方面拥有丰富专业知识的教员，以及监督项目医疗方面的医生。该项目的学生有机会与团队合作，为计算机科学和医学相结合的新兴跨学科领域中相关和关键的问题开发解决方案。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生提供高质量的研究体验。该项目为社区大学生提供了从事研究的机会，并积极追求全方位的职业机会。因此，该项目有可能培养出新的计算机科学本科生和研究生以及未来的教职员工。由计算机科学学院、工程伦理学学院和医生组成的项目团队为每个学生提供了与他们的问题相关的技术、医学、伦理和社会问题的广泛接触。因此，该项目代表了一种高质量的教育和专业体验，对学生来说是创新和具有挑战性的。
