DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this grant is to provide a basic biomedical research experience to undergraduate students with quantitative science backgrounds. Undergraduate students pursuing degrees in physics, computer science, mathematics, quantitative chemistry, and analytical chemistry will be recruited to this summer training program through nationwide recruiting efforts. Upon application and acceptance, trainees will be matched with one of twenty-four participating graduate research faculty members. With the help of their mentor, each trainee will devise a ten week summer research project that is at the interface of quantitative science and basic biomedical research. Trainees will contribute expertise relating to their undergraduate field of study while actively participating in basic biomedical research. The goal is to expose physical scientists to biological topics and approaches in an effort to promote cross-discipline training in future scientists. In addition to research, trainees will attend a weekly lecture/journal club which will expose them to cutting-edge biomedical research on the UT Southwestern Medical Center campus. The goal of these lectures is to educate the trainees on basic biological topics while, at the same time, demonstrating to them the application of and need for expertise in quantitative sciences. The summer program will culminate with a poster session where each trainee will present their work in both written and oral form. The P.I. has five years of experience running a successful summer program and is well-equipped to launch this new summer research initiative. Additionally, UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences has recently launched doctoral training initiatives in computational biology and chemical biology. This summer training program will nicely complement the research efforts of our biophysicists, computational biologists, and chemists. Following this summer research experience, trainees will be prepared to enter Ph.D. programs with a focus on integrating quantitative and biomedical science.

描述（由申请人提供）：该补助金的总体目标是为具有定量科学背景的本科生提供基本的生物医学研究经验。攻读物理学、计算机科学、数学、定量化学和分析化学学位的本科生将通过全国范围的招聘工作被招募到这个暑期培训项目中。在申请和接受后，学员将与24名参与研究生研究的教师之一相匹配。在导师的帮助下，每位学员将设计一个为期十周的夏季研究项目，该项目将涉及定量科学和基础生物医学研究的界面。学员将贡献与他们的本科研究领域相关的专业知识，同时积极参与基础生物医学研究。目标是让物理科学家接触生物学主题和方法，以促进未来科学家的跨学科培训。除了研究，学员将参加每周一次的讲座/期刊俱乐部，这将使他们接触到UT西南医学中心校园的尖端生物医学研究。这些讲座的目的是教育学员基本的生物学主题，同时，向他们展示定量科学的应用和专业知识的需要。暑期课程将以海报会议结束，每个学员将以书面和口头形式展示他们的作品。私家侦探有五年的经验，运行一个成功的夏季计划，并配备了启动这个新的夏季研究计划。此外，UT西南生物医学科学研究生院最近推出了计算生物学和化学生物学的博士培训计划。这个暑期培训计划将很好地补充我们的生物物理学家，计算生物学家和化学家的研究工作。经过这个夏天的研究经验，学员将准备进入博士学位。 课程重点是整合定量和生物医学科学。
