描述(来自申请表)：巴里大学(BU)致力于提供 为我们的少数民族学生和教职员工提供研究机会。这个MIRT 竞争续签申请致力于提供研究和培训 少数民族本科生和硕士研究生水平提升的机会 通过Stazione Zoologica的经历学习生物医学科学的学生 意大利西印度群岛大学牙买加荷尔蒙研究中心 韩国和伦敦国王学院发育生物学研究中心。 我们的长期目标是(1)鼓励未被充分代表的少数族裔毕业生 本科生攻读研究生学位和生物医学 研究事业；(2)扩大少数群体的研究努力和科学培训 涵盖国际卫生问题，试图解决这些问题；(3) 激发研究世界性健康问题的新方法 不成比例地影响少数族裔人口；(4)协助少数族裔科学家 参与国际合作关系和工作 在快速发展的全球科学环境中有效地进行研究。这些 努力应该让学生意识到国际研究的重要性 协作以及这些体验提供的众多机会 他们。为了实现这些目标，学生们将利用他们12周的暑期研究 具有以下目标的站点之一的工作经验：在 实验设计，解释数据，使用分析方法，使用科学 设备，学习实验室安全；与这些相关的研究文献 项目，在研究中使用道德行为。这笔赠款将支持10 学生/年，每年5月至8月期间在外国留学生学校学习12周 2000-2004年开始的财政年度的网站。北卡罗来纳大学将向学生发放三个 学期学时实习学分。在完成他们的 在实习期间，学生们将口头介绍他们的外国 科学会议上的研究经验，与他们的导师(S)一起发表在 写日记，准备一本反思的剪贴簿。这种外来的另一种价值 体验就是学生沉浸在不同的文化中。这些 学生将能够更好地领略到多样性和 不同国家的文化，因为他们共同努力成为世界上的领导者 未来的科学界。我们的教职员工导师正在进行 与现场和工业和信息化部的国际合作研究关系 研究经验将扩展现有的研究能力，为 联合会议报告、出版物和未来的赠款申请 工作。

DESCRIPTION (From Application): Barry University (BU) is committed to providing research opportunities for our minority students and faculty. This MIRT competitive renewal application strives to provide research and training opportunities for the enrichment of minority undergraduate and MS level students in biomedical science through experiences at Stazione Zoologica, Italy; the University of West Indies, Jamaica; the Hormone Research Center in Korea and the Developmental Biology Research Centre, King's College in London. Our long term aims are to (1) encourage underrepresented minority graduate and undergraduate students to pursue graduate degrees and to seek biomedical research careers; (2) broaden minority research efforts and scientific training to encompass international health problems in an attempt to solve them; (3) stimulate novel approaches to studying worldwide health problems that disproportionately affect minority populations; (4) assist minority scientists to participate in international collaborative relationships and work effectively in the rapidly evolving global scientific environment. These efforts should make students aware of the importance of international research collaboration and of the many opportunities these experiences make available to them. To achieve these aims, students will spend their 12 week summer research experience at one of the sites with the following objectives: to work in experimental design, interpret data, use analytical methods, use scientific equipment, learn lab safety; research literature associated with these projects, use ethical conduct in research. The grant will support 10 students/year, for 12 weeks each summer between May and August at the foreign sites for the fiscal years beginning 2000-2004. BU will grant students three semester hours of credit for the internship. Upon completion of their internships, the students will make oral presentations of their foreign research experiences at scientific meetings, publish with their mentor(s) in journals and prepare a Reflective Scrapbook. Another value of this foreign experience is the immersion of the students into different cultures. These students will be better able to appreciate the richness of diversity and culture in different countries as they work together to become leaders in the scientific community of the future. Our faculty mentors have ongoing international collaborative research relationships with the sites and the MIRT research experiences will expand existing research capabilities, provide for joint conference presentations, publications and grant applications for future work.
