DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The specific objectives for our NIH summer research training program are as follows: (1) to provide qualified minority undergraduate students (five per year for 5 years) an opportunity for research experience in metabolism/obesity, nutritional, digestive, endocrine, and kidney related diseases by working with qualified mentors at Colorado State University. All of the mentors are doing research closely, if not directly related to the mission of the NIDDK;(2)to introduce students to research that would not otherwise be available through their regular course of studies; (3)to attract minority students to research careers;(4)To help students develop their investigative talents with the goals of increasing the pool of accomplished minority biomedical investigators and providing visible role models for other minority students. By providing a focused and in depth research training program with 15 different mentors in various fields, we will attract excellent minority students to our program and enable them to learn the necessary skills to enter a research career. An additional objective of the program is to teach the students scientific writing and presentation skills. To reach this goal, we will require each student, with the assistance of their mentor, to present a poster describing the research project on which they participated. The poster presentation is at the end of the summer program (usually the first week of August) at the summer undergraduate research symposium, hosted by the NSF-REU, McNair Scholars Program, and this NIH program. In addition, they will be required to make an oral presentation of their work to the program staff, mentors, and other student participants. During this process the students will learn to use various presentation technologies.

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们的NIH夏季研究培训计划的具体目标如下：（1）通过与科罗拉多州立大学的合格导师合作，为合格的少数民族本科生（每年5名，为期5年）提供代谢/肥胖，营养，消化，内分泌和肾脏相关疾病的研究经验的机会。所有的导师都在进行密切的研究，如果不是直接与NIDDK的使命有关的话;（2）向学生介绍通过正常学习课程无法获得的研究;（3）吸引少数民族学生从事研究工作;（四）帮助学生发展他们的调查才能，以增加有成就的少数民族生物医学调查人员的数量，并提供可见的榜样其他少数民族学生。 通过提供一个有重点的和深入的研究培训计划与15个不同的导师在各个领域，我们将吸引优秀的少数民族学生到我们的计划，使他们能够学习必要的技能进入研究生涯。 该计划的另一个目标是教学生科学写作和演讲技巧。为了实现这一目标，我们将要求每个学生，与他们的导师的协助下，提出一个海报描述他们参与的研究项目。海报展示是在夏季计划结束时（通常是8月的第一周）在夏季本科生研究研讨会上，由NSF-REU，McNair学者计划和NIH计划主办。此外，他们将被要求向项目工作人员，导师和其他学生参与者口头介绍他们的工作。在这个过程中，学生将学习使用各种演示技术。
