Short-term training program for minority students in Bi*

描述(由申请人提供)： 我们NIH夏季研究培训项目的具体目标如下：(1)通过与科罗拉多州立大学的合格导师合作，为合格的少数族裔本科生(每年五名，为期5年)提供机会，通过与科罗拉多州立大学的合格导师合作，获得代谢/肥胖、营养、消化、内分泌和肾脏相关疾病的研究经验。所有导师都在进行密切的研究，如果不是与NIDDK的使命直接相关的话；(2)向学生介绍通过他们的常规课程无法获得的研究；(3)吸引少数族裔学生从事研究事业；(4)帮助学生发展他们的调查才华，目的是增加有成就的少数族裔生物医学研究人员的队伍，并为其他少数族裔学生提供明显的榜样。 通过在不同领域提供15位不同导师的重点和深入的研究培训计划，我们将吸引优秀的少数民族学生加入我们的计划，并使他们能够学习进入研究职业生涯所需的技能。 该项目的另一个目标是教授学生科学的写作和演示技能。为了达到这一目标，我们将要求每个学生在他们导师的帮助下提交一张海报，描述他们参与的研究项目。海报展示是在夏季项目(通常是8月的第一周)结束时举行的夏季本科生研究研讨会，由NSF-REU、McNair学者项目和NIH项目主办。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。

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.
