DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our program offers short-term research training to underrepresented minority undergraduate and medical school students to provide them with career opportunities in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders research and to expose them to the excitement, challenges and rewards of a career in biomedical research. Our program provides mentored research training with outstanding investigators who direct research programs in these four areas to 20 talented students per year. Of these 20 students, 10 will be undergraduate students who spend 2-3 months during summers and 10 will be medical students who will spend 3 consecutive full-time months as part of our research and scholarship requirements for graduation. The undergraduates will be selected primarily from those in our Health Careers Enhancement Program for Medicine, a 6-week summer program designed to encourage students to pursue careers in medicine. Trainees are selected based on applications that are competitively reviewed for the quality of their research proposal, the strength of the advisor as a mentor and role model, and the potential for a positive research experience. Our faculty lead outstanding programs that encompass basic, translational, clinical, population based research in each of these four major areas, and each faculty advisor has an outstanding training record and a great interest in working with students. The primary objective of this training program is to increase the number of students from underrepresented minorities who pursue academic careers in medicine and science, particularly in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders. This goal will be pursued by 1) helping underrepresented minority students become aware of the excitement, opportunities, and challenges of biomedical research through well structured, mentored, short-term research experiences that lay the foundation for future involvement in biomedical research; 2) providing mentoring and a productive exchange of ideas between students and faculty; and 3) providing examples of the scholarly environment that encourage students to pursue biomedical research and medical education. This program will also provide enrichment activities, including research forums, guest lectures, student presentations, special courses, and social activities. Our evaluation system allows us to continuously improve our training program, and our database tracks the careers of our trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们的计划提供短期的研究培训，以代表性不足的少数民族本科生和医学院的学生，为他们提供在心血管，肺，血液和睡眠障碍研究的职业机会，并让他们接触到兴奋，挑战和职业生涯的回报在生物医学研究。我们的计划提供指导研究培训与优秀的调查人员谁直接在这四个领域的研究计划，每年20名有才华的学生。在这20名学生中，10名将是本科生，他们将在夏季度过2-3个月，10名将是医学生，他们将连续3个月全职工作，作为我们毕业研究和奖学金要求的一部分。本科生将主要从我们的医学健康职业增强计划中选出，这是一个为期6周的暑期计划，旨在鼓励学生从事医学职业。学员的选择是基于他们的研究提案的质量，顾问作为导师和榜样的实力，以及积极的研究经验的潜力进行竞争性审查的应用程序。我们的教师领导优秀的计划，包括基础，转化，临床，人口为基础的研究在这四个主要领域的每一个，每个教师顾问有一个优秀的培训记录和与学生合作的极大兴趣。该培训计划的主要目标是增加来自代表性不足的少数民族的学生人数，他们从事医学和科学的学术事业，特别是心血管，肺，血液和睡眠障碍。这一目标将通过以下方式实现：1）通过结构良好、有指导的短期研究经验，帮助代表性不足的少数族裔学生意识到生物医学研究的兴奋点、机遇和挑战，为未来参与生物医学研究奠定基础; 2）提供指导和学生和教师之间富有成效的思想交流; 3）提供鼓励学生从事生物医学研究和医学教育的学术环境的例子。该计划还将提供丰富的活动，包括研究论坛，客座讲座，学生演讲，特别课程和社会活动。我们的评估系统使我们能够不断改进我们的培训计划，我们的数据库跟踪我们的学员的职业生涯。
