PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) proposes to renew the existing summer research experience in neurobiology and continue to support a focused neurobiology cohort within the existing JAX Summer Student Program, an internationally recognized research education program for undergraduates and high school students. Under the proposed renewal, six undergraduate students will conduct neurobiology research in the labs of 11 NIH- funded neuroscientists who lead cutting-edge, collaborative research programs in Alzheimer's disease, peripheral neuropathies, motor neuron degeneration, synaptic development, retinal disease and glaucoma, addiction, Rett syndrome, and sensory disorders. The 10-week residential internship will provide each participant a summer salary and funds to support student research supplies and travel to national meetings to present findings. The proposed program will offer an intense research internship in neurobiology with a focus on the laboratory mouse as an investigative tool to probe the basic mechanisms of human biology and disease. As a member of the mentor's laboratory team, each student will design and conduct an independent, hypothesis-driven project using advanced analysis methods and tools and the outstanding genetic resources available at JAX. The defined research education curriculum will include asynchronous online learning modules, bioinformatics bootcamps, workshops on the ethical conduct of research within historical and modern scientific contexts, and science communication. JAX institutional commitment includes student access to intellectual and research resources such as on-campus courses and conferences, state-of-the-art instrumentation and bioinformatics databases, dedicated program direction by JAX Genomic Education, and a staffed on-campus residential program. The neurobiology cohort will join the Summer Student Program, which is supported by institutional funds, private foundations, and federal grants, and has well-established administrative procedures for recruitment and selection, mentor training and support, and program design, management, and evaluation. The program will identify participants through a national recruitment and competitive application process. JAX will recruit students underrepresented in biomedicine through targeted outreach and partnerships. JAX offers a stimulating environment in which motivated, talented students from diverse backgrounds can learn the fundamentals of scientific inquiry, contribute to real research progress, and make great strides in intellectual and personal growth that will guide them toward a career in research.

项目概要/摘要 杰克逊实验室（JAX）提议更新现有的神经生物学夏季研究经验 并继续支持现有 JAX 暑期学生计划中的重点神经生物学群体， 国际认可的本科生和高中生研究教育计划。在下面 根据拟议的续签，六名本科生将在 11 个 NIH 的实验室进行神经生物学研究—— 资助领导阿尔茨海默病尖端合作研究项目的神经科学家， 周围神经病变、运动神经元变性、突触发育、视网膜疾病和青光眼， 成瘾、雷特综合征和感觉障碍。为期 10 周的住宿实习将为每个人提供 参加者将获得暑期工资和资金，用于支持学生研究用品和参加全国会议的旅行 目前的调查结果。拟议的计划将提供神经生物学方面的深入研究实习，重点是 实验室小鼠作为探索人类生物学基本机制的研究工具 疾病。作为导师实验室团队的一员，每个学生都会设计并进行独立的、 利用先进的分析方法和工具以及优秀遗传资源的假设驱动项目 可在 JAX 购买。定义的研究教育课程将包括异步在线学习 模块、生物信息学训练营、关于历史和历史领域研究道德行为的研讨会 现代科学背景和科学传播。 JAX 机构承诺包括学生访问 知识和研究资源，例如校园课程和会议、最先进的 仪器和生物信息学数据库、JAX Genomic Education 的专门项目指导以及 配备人员的校园住宿计划。神经生物学队列将加入暑期学生计划，该计划 得到机构基金、私人基金会和联邦拨款的支持，并拥有完善的 招聘和选拔、导师培训和支持以及项目设计的行政程序， 管理、评价。该计划将通过全国招募和确定参与者 竞争性的申请过程。 JAX 将通过有针对性的招收生物医学领域代表性不足的学生 外展和伙伴关系。 JAX 提供了一个激励人心的环境，让来自积极主动、才华横溢的学生 不同背景的人可以学习科学探究的基础知识，为真正的研究进步做出贡献，并且 在智力和个人成长方面取得巨大进步，这将引导他们走向研究职业。
