Proposed Program and Institutional Objectives: 1. To provide summer research experiences through structured activities that result in an increase in understanding and appreciation for biomedical science and biotechnology of minority high school students and through these experiences stimulate an interest in science careers. 2. To increase and expand the knowledge of teachers about the innovations in biomedical science and biotechnology that would result in innovation in classroom instruction and a transfer to students the new knowledge learned. Program Activities: The College proposes to select a minimum of eight minority high school students and one high school teacher each year for which funding is received and assign them to laboratories directed by research scientist (preceptors). Each participant will be held accountable for a research project developed by the preceptor, which may be an independent endeavor or an integrated component of an ongoing project. The program will be a minimum of seven weeks and will not exceed eight weeks in length for which the student is expected to invest 40 hours per week in assigned duties. The range of research in which participants will engage includes laboratories conducting investigations on the genetic development and economic impact of water insects, central nervous system degeneration, bone innervation, microbial dietary supplements for weanling pigs, immunohematology and transfusion medicine, experimental infections and immunohistochemical studies of poultry, epidemiology of food safety and incidence of contamination by pathogens, joint regeneration, and ultrastructural investigations. It is proposed that the inclusion of faculty mentors who have supported the comparable NIH sponsored program over the last 13 will ensure success in providing experiences that meet the program objectives for this application and demonstrate a long-standing institutional commitment. It is for these reasons that the grant application is submitted.

拟议方案和机构目标： 1.通过结构化的活动提供夏季研究经验 从而增进了对 少数民族高中生的生物医学科学和生物技术， 通过这些经验激发对科学事业的兴趣。 2.增加和扩大教师对创新的认识 在生物医学科学和生物技术方面， 课堂教学和向学生传递新知识 学 计划活动：学院建议选择至少八个 少数民族高中学生和一名高中教师， 并将其分配给由 研究科学家（preceptors）每个参与者都将被追究责任 一个由导师开发的研究项目，这可能是一个 独立的奋进或正在进行的项目的集成组件。 该计划将是最低的七个星期，不会超过八个 在为期一周的时间内，学生预计将投入40小时， 一周的任务。 参与者将参与的研究范围包括 进行遗传发育研究的实验室， 水生昆虫的经济影响，中枢神经系统退化， 骨神经支配，断奶仔猪微生物饲料添加剂， 免疫血液学和输血医学，实验感染和 家禽免疫组织化学研究、食物安全流行病学及 病原体污染的发生率，关节再生， 超微结构研究 有人建议，包括教师导师谁支持 过去13年来NIH赞助的类似项目将确保成功 在提供经验，满足该计划的目标， 并体现出长期的体制承诺。它 正是出于这些原因，才提交了赠款申请。
