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）： 我们的项目为代表性不足的少数族裔本科生和医学院学生提供短期研究培训，为他们提供心血管、肺、血液和睡眠障碍研究的职业机会，并让他们接触生物医学研究职业的兴奋、挑战和回报。我们的项目提供由杰出研究人员指导的研究培训，他们每年向 20 名才华横溢的学生指导这四个领域的研究项目。在这 20 名学生中，10 名是本科生，在暑假期间学习 2-3 个月，10 名是医学生，他们将连续 3 个月全日制学习，作为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拔，这是一个为期 6 周的夏季计划，旨在鼓励学生从事医学职业。受训者的选择是根据申请进行的，这些申请经过竞争性审查，包括研究计划的质量、顾问作为导师和榜样的实力以及积极研究经验的潜力。我们的教师领导着出色的项目，涵盖这四个主要领域的基础、转化、临床、人群研究，每位教师顾问都有出色的培训记录，并且对与学生合作抱有极大的兴趣。该培训计划的主要目标是增加来自代表性不足的少数族裔的学生数量，他们在医学和科学领域追求学术职业，特别是在心血管、肺、血液和睡眠障碍方面。通过以下方式实现这一目标：1）通过结构良好、指导性强的短期研究经验，帮助代表性不足的少数族裔学生了解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）在学生和教师之间提供指导和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、特别课程和社交活动。我们的评估系统使我们能够不断改进我们的培训计划，我们的数据库跟踪学员的职业生涯。
