Summer Training Program in Neuroscience

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划将为医学生提供研究培训机会，他们可以选择从事基础或临床神经科学研究。该计划将提供夏季研究奖学金，以潜在的临床科学家在他们的教育早期。除了提供动手实验室的经验，该计划将告知临床神经科学的职业生涯的学生，并在研究支持的模式教育他们。培训将在夏季为期2个月的全职基础上进行。该计划旨在鼓励竞争激烈的学生通过攻读博士学位进入医学生学者计划或MD/博士课程。在他们的医学训练中。学员将根据在医学院第一年结束时提交的申请进行选择。学员将被分配到该计划的参与者之一的实验室，在那里他们将进行指导研究。根据他们在临床神经科学领域的积极研究计划，特别是中风，创伤和神经退行性疾病，选择了前受体。这些实验室共同提供了广泛的研究机会，从基本的分子生物学/生物化学方法到以社区为基础的人类研究计划。在第一个夏天的研究计划结束时，学生将在秋季医学生研究研讨会上介绍他们的研究成果，该研讨会还将涉及MSTP计划学生的研究报告。被选中任命的学生将被鼓励在获得临床学位的几年内获得多个短期研究培训期。这种任命可以是连续的，也可以在“非季度”期间进行。将酌情鼓励受训人员在国家会议上介绍他们的成果，并为学生参加这些会议提供支助。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program will provide research-training opportunities for medical students who may elect to pursue careers in basic or clinical neurological sciences research. The program will provide summer research fellowships to potential clinician scientists early in their education. In addition to providing hands-on laboratory experience, the program will inform students of clinical neuroscience careers, and educate them in patterns of research support. Training will be on a full-time basis for 2 months in the summer. The program is designed to encourage highly competitive students to enter the Medical Student Scholars Program or MD/PhD program by pursuing a Ph.D. during their medical training. Trainees will be selected based on an application filed initially at the end of their first year of medical school. Trainees will be assigned to a laboratory of one of the participants in the program, where they will carry out mentored research. Preceptors have been selected based on their active research programs in areas related to the clinical neurosciences, especially stroke, trauma, and neurodegenerative disorders. Together, the laboratories provide a broad range of research opportunities ranging from basic molecular biological/biochemical approaches through community-based human research programs. At the end of the first summer's research program, the students will present the results of their research at a fall medical student research symposium, which will also involve research presentations by students in the MSTP program. Students selected for appointment will be encouraged to obtain multiple periods of short-term research training during the years leading to their clinical degree. Such appointments may be consecutive or during "off-quarter" periods. Where appropriate, trainees will be encouraged to present their results at national meetings, and support will be provided for students to attend such meetings.
