DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to establish a summer program for undergraduates with non-biological sciences backgrounds that will provide cross-discipline training and experiences in combining the physical sciences backgrounds of the participants with concepts and approaches of functional genomics and cell biology to address biomedical research problems. The intended impact of our program is to encourage participating students to pursue graduate education in biomedical sciences, followed by careers in biomedical research. Six students will be selected each year to pursue 10-week research experiences in one of eleven laboratories at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Instruction in functional genomics and cell biology will be provided through workshops and a series of seminars. Students will work as a group on a cross-discipline case study in wound-healing. In addition, students will receive instruction in research ethics, scientific writing, and career opportunities in biomedical sciences. At the conclusion of the summer, students will present their work at a poster session and receive evaluations. Students will be encouraged to publish their results in the Journal of the Ohio Association of Science. To build community among these students, they will participate in a series of social and cultural events. Formative evaluations will be used to alter and fine-tune the Program, and summative evaluations will be carried out at the conclusion of each summer and again, as the participants graduate from their undergraduate institutions, to measure the long-term impact of the Program on the participating students.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议为非生物科学背景的本科生建立一个暑期项目，该项目将提供跨学科培训和经验，将参与者的物理科学背景与功能基因组学和细胞生物学的概念和方法相结合，以解决生物医学研究问题。我们计划的预期影响是鼓励参与的学生攻读生物医学科学研究生教育，然后从事生物医学研究职业。 每年将选出 6 名学生，在辛辛那提大学医学院和辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心的 11 个实验室之一进行为期 10 周的研究体验。将通过讲习班和一系列研讨会提供功能基因组学和细胞生物学方面的指导。学生将以小组形式进行伤口愈合的跨学科案例研究。此外，学生还将接受研究伦理、科学写作和生物医学科学职业机会方面的指导。夏季结束时，学生将在海报会议上展示他们的作品并接受评估。我们鼓励学生在《俄亥俄州科学协会杂志》上发表他们的研究结果。 为了在这些学生之间建立社区，他们将参加一系列的社交和文化活动。 形成性评估将用于改变和微调该计划，总结性评估将在每年夏天结束时进行，并在参与者从本科院校毕业时再次进行，以衡量该计划对参与学生的长期影响。
