Discovery to Cure Summer Program

这是一次竞争性更新，以支持发现治愈高中实习计划(DTCHIP)。 发现治愈高中实习项目成立于15年前，目的是提供前所未有的 通过将年轻学生与受人尊敬的科学家配对并鼓励他们 培养他们对科学和医学领域的兴趣。该计划非常成功。 多年来，它对年轻科学家的影响已经得到证实，在NICHD/NIH的支持下，我们 能够扩大该计划并增加参与的学生数量。在目前的资助期间 在2012-2016年期间，DTCHIP指导了208名学者，其中138名来自少数民族或贫困地区。这个 该项目的质量和相关性得到了顶尖大学的认可，它们考虑到了 学生参与该计划供他们选择。全国顶尖高校， 包括耶鲁大学在内，都接受了高中毕业生奖学金项目，并创下了纪录 在他们的早期行动中。这项建议是对这一既定的、严格的、循序渐进的、 研究-培训计划。我们的目标是继续并扩大我们的目标，以提供 发现治愈高中实习计划为合格学生提供高质量的研究经验， 本科生和高中教师，并让他们接触到生物医学的兴奋和可能性 从事研究工作。我们的具体目标如下： 目的1)为高中生提供丰富的智力和探究环境。实习生 在最先进的实验室工作，在PI、博士后或研究助理的指导下学习 基本的实验室方法和技术，并产生一个独立的研究项目 在课程结束时向导师、教员和同行赠送礼物。 目标2)鼓励科学好奇心、合作精神和培养批判性思维。实习生开发自己的产品 科学项目，这些项目将在学年期间在其机构进一步扩大，鼓励他们 参加国家科学活动。 到目前为止，DTCHIP为学者们提供了所需的培训，以便在积极的、 在分配给他们的实验室内进行研究的富有成效和重要意义的方法。数据 由学者们产生的已被并入出版物，在那里他们是共同作者，进一步 为他们的学术生涯做出贡献。

This is a competitive renewal in support of the Discovery to Cure High School Internship Program (DTCHIP). The Discovery to Cure High School Internship was established 15 years ago in order to offer an unprecedented scientific and personal challenge to young students by pairing them with respected scientists and encouraging and fostering their interest in the fields of science and medicine. The Program has been extremely successful. Its impact on young scientists has been proven over the years, and with the support of NICHD/NIH, we have been able to expand the program and increase the number of participating students. During the current funding period (2012-2016), the DTCHIP has mentored 208 Scholars, 138 from minority or underprivileged areas. The quality and relevance of the program are recognized by top universities, which take into consideration the students' participation in the program for their selection. Top colleges and universities throughout the country, including Yale University, have accepted the graduated high school Scholars from the program, with a record number in their early action. This proposal is a continuation of this well-established, rigorous, step-wise, research-training program. Our objective is to continue and expand our objective to provide, thought the Discovery to Cure High School Internship Program high-quality research experience to qualified students, undergraduates, and high school teachers and to expose them to the excitement and possibility of biomedical research careers. Our specific aims are as follows: Aim 1) To provide high school students with a rich intellectual and investigative environment. Interns work in state-of-the-art laboratories, under the mentorship of a PI, post-doctorate or research assistant, learning basic laboratory methods and techniques and producing an independent research project, which he or she presents to mentors, faculty, and peers at the end of the Program. Aim 2) To encourage scientific curiosity, cooperation and foster critical thinking. Interns develop their own scientific projects, which will be further expanded during the academic year at their institution, encouraging them to participate in National Science events. As proven so far, the DTCHIP provides the Scholars with the training required to contribute in an active, productive and significant way to the ongoing research within the laboratories that they are assigned. The data generated by the Scholars has been incorporated into publications where they are co-authors, further contributing to their academic careers.
