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.

项目描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议为非生物科学背景的本科生设立一个暑期项目，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，提供跨学科的培训和经验，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继续攻读生物医学科学的研究生教育，然后从事生物医学研究。
