DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks funds for a Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (SREUP) for students from quantitative backgrounds at the Medical College of Wisconsin. This program will be based on, though largely independent from, the current Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR), although some activities will overlap. The objectives of the SREUP program are: i) To provide undergraduate students from the quantitative and physical sciences with experience of mentored research in a biomedical research environment. ii) To provide a program of activities to expose students to biomedical experiences outside of their mentored research projects. iii) To give students a wide choice of potential mentors and projects. This will allow the students flexibility in the relationship between their undergraduate degree program and the chosen project. iv) To provide exposure to the skills that are required for a career in biomedical sciences, including critical appreciation of the literature and data presentation. v) To provide the students, at the end of the program, with enough data for them to determine if a career in biomedical science is an appropriate choice. These objectives will be met by providing the students with a fulfilling 10 week research project and a wide range of activities, including a weekly seminar series, a weekly discussion group and social activities in combination with the SPUR students and MCW graduate students. The students will receive safety training and participate in an ethics seminar. In addition, a Career Workshop is scheduled for the first week. The 10 week experience culminates with a mini research symposium in which each student will give a 10 minute presentation of their research. The success of the program will be closely monitored by follow-up questionnaires to both students and participating faculty.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案为威斯康星医学院定量背景的学生寻求本科生暑期研究经历项目（SREUP）的资金。这个项目将以目前的本科研究暑期项目（SPUR）为基础，尽管在很大程度上是独立的，尽管一些活动将重叠。SREUP计划的目标是：i)为定量科学和物理科学的本科生提供在生物医学研究环境中进行指导研究的经验。ii)提供活动计划，使学生在其指导的研究项目之外接触生物医学经验。iii)为学生提供广泛的潜在导师和项目选择。这将允许学生在他们的本科学位课程和选择的项目之间的关系的灵活性。iv)提供接触生物医学科学职业所需技能的机会，包括对文献和数据展示的批判性欣赏。v)在项目结束时，为学生提供足够的数据，让他们确定从事生物医学科学是否是一个合适的选择。这些目标将通过为学生提供为期10周的研究项目和广泛的活动来实现，包括每周一次的系列研讨会，每周一次的讨论小组以及与SPUR学生和MCW研究生的社会活动。学生们将接受安全培训，并参加道德研讨会。此外，第一周还安排了一个职业讲习班。为期10周的体验以一个小型研究研讨会结束，每个学生将在研讨会上发表10分钟的研究报告。该计划的成功将通过对学生和参与教师的后续问卷调查来密切监测。
