项目总结 要求继续提供资金，以支持洛约拉大学芝加哥分校的NIAID-T35培训方案 医学院。我们的项目向早期医学生介绍了 通过提供有指导的暑期研究体验来进行研究，最终目标是激励学员 迈向融合了基础生物医学和临床研究的学术事业。T35研修班 在免疫学和传染病(REIID)计划存在作为一个专门的，NIAID重点研究和 职业发展计划，利用我们学生培训的成功管理框架 研究方法(STAR)计划。T35-REIID计划为学生提供第一到 医学院二年级，有八周的重点指导培训经验，学习NIAID相关知识 完成一个研究项目并正式介绍他们的工作的研究。斯特里奇学派 医学院是一个丰富的学术环境，是免疫学和传染病方面的领先机构- 相关研究和临床护理。我们有一支由31名经验丰富的导师组成的团队，他们的研究涵盖 流行病学；遗传学；疾病的分子、细胞和病理生理机制；翻译 研究；以病人为中心的临床研究。学生的全日制研究训练还包括 关于实验设计、数据管理、负责任的行为等主题的教学会议 研究、专业发展和演讲技巧。实习生是通过竞争性的 基于他们提出的夏季体验的研究计划和目标的过程。T35-REIID计划 包括学生评估，以评估研究体验的质量，以及教学内容 我们在鼓励学生追求包括研究在内的学术事业方面取得了成功。

PROJECT SUMMARY Continued funding is requested to support the NIAID-T35 training program at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. Our program introduces early-stage medical students to the challenges and excitement of research by providing a mentored summer research experience with the ultimate goal of inspiring trainees toward academic careers that incorporate basic biomedical and clinical research. The T35 Research Training in Immunology and Infectious Diseases (REIID) program exists as a dedicated, NIAID-focused research and career development program that leverages the successful administrative framework of our Student Training In Approaches to Research (STAR) Program. The T35-REIID program provides students between their first and second year of medical school with a focused eight-week mentored training experience pursuing NIAID-related research resulting in completion of a research project and formal presentation of their work. The Stritch School of Medicine is a rich academic environment and a leading institution in immunology and infectious disease- related research and clinical care. We have a team of thirty-one experienced mentors whose research covers epidemiology; genetics; molecular, cellular and pathophysiological mechanisms of disease; translational research; and patient-oriented clinical research. The student’s full-time research training is supplemented with didactic conferences on topics including experimental design, data management, responsible conduct of research, professional development, and presentation skills. Trainees are chosen through a competitive process based on their proposed research plan and goals for the summer experience. The T35-REIID program includes student assessments to evaluate the quality of the research experience and didactic offerings as well as our success at encouraging students to pursue academic careers that include research.
