DESCRIPTION (taken from application): As biomedical research enters the post-genomics age, much of our understanding of complex, system level interactions which control biological processes will arise from rigorous interdisciplinary interactions between the physical and biological sciences. It is our goal to cultivate this interaction by introducing undergraduate students whom otherwise would study and work solely in the physical sciences to the exciting frontiers of biomedical research. This proposal is to establish an innovative undergraduate summer research program, known as the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Program (IBRP), which will place up to ten students per year who are concentrating in the physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering into laboratories which focus on biomedical research. The students will work directly under the supervision of NIH-supported investigators, both at Stony Brook and at Brookhaven National Labs, in disciplines that range from structural biology, genomics and signal transduction to brain imaging, tissue plasticity and drug delivery. It is fully intended that the teacher-student relationship will flow in both directions, as the NIH investigators will inevitably be exposed to new perspectives of their own research as catalyzed by the contributions of the physical sciences students. In addition, the students will participate in six additional components designed to supplement and enhance their research activities, including a biweekly workshop on research-related subjects such as ethics, a biweekly journal club, a seminar series, and research presentations at a concluding campus-wide celebration of undergraduate research. Ultimately, it is hoped that many of these IBRP students will decide to continue their training, at the graduate level, in areas such as functional genomics, bioinformatics, bioengineering, or biomedicine. Indeed, it is hoped that the most successful of these students will enter our own graduate training programs in the biomedical sciences.

描述（摘自申请）：随着生物医学研究进入 后基因组时代，我们对复杂系统水平的大部分理解 控制生物过程的相互作用将产生于严格的 物理科学和生物科学之间的跨学科相互作用。它 我们的目标是通过介绍本科生来培养这种互动 否则他们只会在物理科学领域学习和工作 令人兴奋的生物医学研究前沿。本提案旨在建立一个 创新的本科生暑期研究计划，被称为 跨学科生物医学研究计划（IBRP），该计划将安排最多 每年有十名学生专注于物理科学， 数学和工程学进入专注于生物医学的实验室 研究。学生将直接在老师的监督下工作 NIH 支持的石溪和布鲁克海文国家研究人员 实验室，涵盖结构生物学、基因组学和信号等学科 转变成脑成像、组织可塑性和药物输送。它完全是 旨在使师生关系双向发展， NIH 的研究人员将不可避免地接触到他们的新观点 由物理科学的贡献催化的自己的研究 学生。此外，学生还将参加另外六项活动 旨在补充和加强其研究活动的组成部分， 包括每两周举办一次与研究相关主题的研讨会，例如伦理学、 每两周一次的期刊俱乐部、一系列研讨会以及在 结束全校本科生研究庆祝活动。最终，它是 希望许多 IBRP 学生决定继续接受培训， 在研究生阶段，在功能基因组学、生物信息学等领域， 生物工程，或生物医学。事实上，我们希望最成功的 这些学生将进入我们自己的生物医学研究生培训项目 科学。
